Journaling Faith
Discipleship S.T.E.P.S.: Practice
Scripture: I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. – Psalm 77:11 (KJV)
Journaling is a powerful practice of remembrance that prevents us from forgetting the hand of God in our daily lives. In the middle of a trial, we often lose sight of the many ways God has provided, protected, and guided us in the past. By writing down His ‘wonders of old’ and His current blessings, you create a tangible record of His faithfulness that serves as a fuel for your faith when the future seems uncertain.
When you document your spiritual journey you are training your eyes to look for God’s presence in the details of your existence. It transforms your prayer life from a mere list of requests into a profound acknowledgment of His goodness. Take time today to record the things God is doing no matter how small they may seem; this practice will sharpen your awareness of His constant work and provide a testimony that encourages your heart in the seasons to come.
