1. Pick A Secluded Spot. (“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door…Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." - Matthew 6:6).
2. Grab Your Favorite Bible, Devotional, Journal & Pen/Pencil.
3. Pick A Date/Time (Morning, Afternoon Evening, Bed Time).
5. Discover Your Prayer [Journal] Language (See: Matthew 6:5-15).
6. Use What You’ve Got To Find Something New (Start with writing down a Bible verse from your daily quiet time, then finish by journaling your own personal thoughts).
8. DO NOT GIVE UP! (See: Galatians 6:9-10 & “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” - Matthew 7:7-8, NLT).
9. Warning: No Guilt. Pick Up Where you Left Off. (Refuse to worry if you missed a day or three).
10. God Will Do What He Promised You! (See: Psalm 37:5 & Matthew 25:23. If you find yourself needing an accountability partner to keep you in check to stay in the Word daily, don’t hesitate to ask a best friend, myself, a mentor or pastor).

ReplyDeleteChloe,
ReplyDeleteYay!! I have trouble keeping up with my journal (I'm the kind of person who starts something great but can never finish it), but I really admire those who can. And I know that for the days I do stick with it, it makes a HUGE difference in my attitude that day, just spending a few moments with God.
