A Simple Habit That Deepens Your Devotional Life
There’s something powerful about writing down what God is teaching you. Reading Open Heavens daily is already a blessing, but when you take a few minutes to journal your reflections, it becomes personal. It becomes transformational.
Journaling isn’t about being a writer. It’s about being honest. It’s about creating space to listen, respond, and grow.
If you’ve ever wondered how to start journaling your Open Heavens reflections, here’s a simple guide to help you build a meaningful habit.
1. Start With the Scripture
Begin by reading the Bible passage and memory verse for the day. Don’t rush through it, pause and let the words speak to you. Write down the verse that stands out. Ask yourself:
What is God saying to me today?
Is there a promise, a warning, or a reminder I needed?
Even if it’s just a sentence, that verse becomes your anchor.
2. Reflect on the Message
After reading the devotional, take a moment to summarize it in your own words. What was the main point? What hit home? You don’t need fancy language—just write what you felt. Maybe it reminded you of something you’ve been struggling with. Maybe it gave you peace. Capture that.
3. Respond in Prayer
Use the prayer point as a starting place, but make it personal. Write a short prayer:
Thank God for what He revealed
Ask for help to apply it
Intercede for someone who needs it today
Your journal becomes a conversation, not just a record.
4. Track Your Journey
Some days you’ll write a lot. Other days, just a sentence. That’s okay. Over time, you’ll start to notice patterns, answered prayers, recurring themes, spiritual growth. Your journal becomes a testimony.
5. Keep It Simple
You don’t need a fancy notebook or app. A simple diary, a notes app on your phone, or even a voice memo works. The key is consistency. Five minutes a day is enough. Just show up.
Final Thought
Journaling your Open Heavens reflections isn’t about checking a box. It’s about building a rhythm of listening, responding, and growing. It’s your space to meet with God ,and He’s always ready to speak.
