– Creative Ideas For Your Prayer Journal

Prayer is a major part of our Christian life; it’s what keeps us connected to our Source.
Just as a fish cannot survive outside its habitat, as Christian women, we need to stay connected to God through prayers if we’re truly going to live out His purpose for our lives.

35 Journal Prompts For Forgiveness To Help Release Pain & Anger
If you’re struggling to forgive yourself or someone else, I know exactly how that feels.
Trust me…you’re not alone.
We all have a past, one that we’re sometimes not proud of… but how can we ever move past our guilt if we don’t forgive ourselves for our sins and past mistakes?
The same goes for when someone we love hurts us; even when (or if) they apologize, it can seem almost impossible to forgive them.
Because it feels like we are letting them off the hook or like they got away with something.
As Christian women, yes, the Bible tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves, but when someone deeply hurts us and we cannot seem to heal, how can we move on from this pain?
One powerful way is with journal prompts!
Let me tell you… journaling has been a powerful tool for exploring my feelings and working through my emotions.
Penning down my thoughts and feelings helped me understand them better and became a great way to release the negative energy that seemed trapped inside me.
Have you found yourself in this same situation? Well, it’s time to let go of your anger and forgive yourself and others.
Grab a pen and paper; let’s get through this journaling journey together!
