The journal creates space for four daily rhythms in your time with God.

• Scripture: Create a rhythm of reading the Scriptures by choosing a framework to guide your reading and a plan that suits your time.

• Prayer: Write your prayers as a way of offering them to God and keeping a written record of his faithfulness to you.

• Thankfulness: Take the time each day to give thanks in all circumstances, becoming more aware of God's love for you and demonstrating your love for him in return.

• Love for Others: Our love for God naturally leads to love for others. This section provides a prompt to consider how you can show the love of Jesus to someone else each day.

Each page of the journal begins with one guiding question: How is God working in my life?

Over time, this creates a written record of grace, helping you notice God’s faithfulness, process your inner life, and prayerfully consider where you’d like to grow.

Here are four practical tips for developing a weekly rhythm of journaling:

1. Pause: Choose a regular time and place that is sustainable, set aside your phone or other distractions, and begin with prayer, asking God to be present with you and to help you be still before him.

2. Reflect: Let the prompt focus your attention rather than trying to write everything at once.

3. Notice: Mark the date so the journal will become a reminder of God’s faithfulness across time.

4. Respond: Write freely and honestly, knowing that this is between you and God. Everything in your head and heart belongs on the page.

This rhythm provides an opportunity to consider how you can bring your whole self before God in love; including your spiritual, relational, physical, and mental health. Practically, this involves prayerfully working through the ‘reflecting’ page followed by the ‘anticipating’ page as one month draws to a close and the next month begins. Each month provides an opportunity to;

• Anticipate: Prayerfully consider the month ahead and the kind of person you’re praying to become.

• Give Thanks: Look back with gratitude and honesty, noticing where God has been at work and where growth is desired.

• Reorient: Review how your daily and weekly rhythms are shaping you, and where you’d like to grow.

• Renew: Use these pages in whatever way most helps you return to Jesus, especially as you attend to relationships, wellbeing, work, rest, and generosity.
