Revealed Journal

God speaks to us in so many different ways, through thoughts, words/actions of others, scriptures, prophets, prayers, feelings, etc. The Revealed journal encourages you to write about the times when God has spoken to you; when you have felt personal revelation.  My daughter has the Revealed Journal for Kids, and I love that it allows her to see times when God has spoken directly to her.

Journal Prompts

Check out these 52 journal prompts for self love, one for each week of the year.  Pick a day, maybe a Sunday, and start with the first prompt.  Set a reminder in your phone to go off each week, so you don’t forget to write.  Write as much, or as little as you want.

At the end of the year, you will have a wonderful record of your thoughts and feelings from that year, along with treasured memories.  As a result from your recordings, you should also experience growth and added strength in your life.
