20 Journal Thoughts That Changed My Life

Journaling is therapy for me, for my soul. This is why I boldly claim that journaling has indeed changed my life.

I’ve always loved to journal. And during certain seasons of life, journaling became a lifeline and would draw me closer to the Lord all in the same stroke of the pen.

Some thoughts the Lord gave me in the past, but are helpful now.

While others are fresh inspiration from the Lord and useful for the daily Christian journey.

So I’m letting you peek into my personal journal for 20 thoughts. I hope they encourage you and bring life to your soul.

Because these particular entries changed my life.

The Cross Changed My Life

(1.) When life’s disappointments attempt to become my unwelcome friend, I remember Jesus calls me friend (John 15:5). If I visualize Christ as my best friend, it comforts me that I am never alone, always have someone to talk to, and have a shoulder to lean on.

(2.) 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.

(3.) 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. This prayer has changed my life and perspective.
