Develop A Journal

As you grow as a Christian, it is important to be able to look back on your journey and see how God has worked in your life. This helps you develop an “eternal view” instead of a temporal view, meaning you can begin to see things from a larger perspective rather than being blinded by your current struggles.

Scripture:

Psalm 77:11-12
"I will remember the Lord’s works; yes, I will remember your ancient wonders. I will reflect on all you have done and meditate on your actions."

Details:

Decide how you would like to journal. Paper or electronic are both great ways.
Writing five points each day is a great way to start.

• "You are amazing because..." affirmations or ways you have seen God move that day
• Thank you for things for which you are grateful
• Forgive me for sins that day
• Help me things that God is wanting you to change
• Help others prayer requests for other people
