Spiritual journaling

Spiritual journaling is a great way to build an intimate relationship with God. Or higher power. Or infinite intelligence, etc.

It can help you build a deep connection with something bigger then yourself.

This doesn’t have to have anything to do with the Bible. Or it can have everything to do with the Bible.

It could be just a matter of self-reflection, self-identification, self-awareness.

A place to record your beliefs or non-beliefs about life and what happens when you die. Or when you transform from the form to the formless.

Looking deep inside yourself to really get to know your beliefs will help you in all area of your life.

Spiritual journaling doesn’t have to be based on any particular religion either. Or it can be souly based on one certain religion.

There are simple no rules to journaling. It’s a wide open space that is used by many for many different reasons. All personal and all a self-portrait of who you truly are.

Use it as a way to become one with God or to record your prayers as well as the answers.

Use it as a way to remember key points that you learned by reading a spiritual book – words, sentences, or paragraphs that really spoke to you on a deep level.

If you take the time up front to record all you’re aha moments and awakenings in y our spiritual journal you’ll have an abundance of great and valuable information.

Information that is special and important to you. You cannot find that depth of wisdom in any other book, unless you wrote it based on your beliefs and spiritual philosophies.

Journals are the footprints of your soul. It could be the best of times or the worst of times, your journal would still be there, silently waiting for you to make an entry.

Spiritual journaling is a way into yourself and a way out of yourself. How? By clearing the clutter inside your head so that you can become aware of your entire body.

Here are a couple of verses to help you get started –

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

The lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped. Psalm 28:7

His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Lamentations 3:22-23

If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

The kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21

I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. John 12:46

”If you can?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes.” Mark 9:23

I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. John 6:47

These verses should help you make at least one entry in your spiritual journal.
