Why Every Christian Should Keep A Spiritual Journal
In the fast-paced world we live in, it's easy to forget what God has done in our lives. A spiritual journal can be a powerful tool for growth, reflection, and deeper intimacy with God. From the Old Testament to the New, we see God's people documenting their journeys — from David's Psalms to Paul's letters.
1. It Helps You Track Your Walk With God
When you write down what God is teaching you daily, you’ll notice patterns, answered prayers, and seasons of spiritual growth. This helps you recognize how far God has brought you and deepens your trust in Him.
2. It Strengthens Your Memory of God’s Word
Journaling after Bible study allows you to process the Word. You're not just reading; you're meditating, applying, and recording how the Word changes you.
3. It Keeps You Accountable
When you write consistently, you’re more likely to stay on track with spiritual disciplines like prayer, fasting, and Bible study. It becomes your personal record of obedience and surrender.
4. It Creates a Legacy
Your journal can become a testimony for your children and spiritual descendants. It shows how God dealt with you, how you overcame storms, and how faithful God has been in every season.
Start Today
It’s never too late to start. All you need is a notebook or digital journal. Begin by writing today’s date, your scripture reading, and what God is saying to you. You’ll be amazed how your spiritual sensitivity increases.
