Keeping a Spiritual Journal
Spiritual journaling is a way of thinking things through in your soul.
It is a way of talking to God.
It preserves some of your thoughts for future reference.
Journaling frees you to explore the hidden parts of your heart, giving meaning to your life.

You may find deep breathing helpful to center,
Ask God to draw near…

Bible verses that have special meaning for you.

How to Begin:
Simply write, including everything.
Try writing from a feeling, accepting whatever comes to mind and simply note it in your journal.

Ask God for whatever you need,
Believe that God hears you.

And wanting good for you.
