This year, I’m circling back to doing something I used to do consistently: journaling during my prayer time. I have been thinking a lot these last few weeks about the importance of writing down what I feel God might be saying to me—whether it’s about the day ahead or the year ahead. So in the mornings as I pray, I have my journal open. I write down my prayers . . . and then write down the things I feel God is laying on my heart.
It’s not a perfect process—but these days when my thoughts and my days can be so scattered, it keeps me focused. And it has led not only to a greater sense of intimacy with the Lord, but also tangible ideas, prayers, suggestions and answers that I can go back and refer to later on.
By the way—I just have to mention this: if you want a new and beautiful journal for this new start, we now have our recently released (and absolutely gorgeous) Find Rest Journal. (I truly don’t mean to make this a commercial—I’m just super excited about it!)
