20 Encouraging Entries From My Journal

Journaling has always been a powerful practice for me. These encouraging entries speak life to my heart as I reflect on my thoughts.

And I journal how God speaks to me in prayer, worship or His Word.

Depending on the current season of life, it’s often therapy for my soul.

So I’m letting you look into my personal journal for 20 thoughts I hope encourage you.

Some thoughts the Lord reminded me that He gave me in the past, but are helpful in the present.

While others are new inspiration from the Lord.

Entries are heartfelt, authtentic, and vulnerable.

(3.) I must cling to the only sure hope in the darkness. Jesus. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5 (ESV)

(4.) Lord, place the cross and the blood of Jesus between me and the enemy, and between me and difficult people and circumstances. There’s nothing Your redemptive blood doesn’t cover. And there’s nothing it can’t redeem.

Promises and Power of Prayer

(5.) I’m so thankful for the power of prayer: that mountains still move, seas still part, mana still rains from heaven, and because God can raise the dead, ashes turn to beauty again.
