What is Spiritual Journaling? (New Series: Sacred Pages)

What is spiritual journaling?

Spiritual journaling is more than recording daily events—it's creating a sacred space for conversation with God on paper. Unlike regular journaling that focuses primarily on self-reflection, spiritual journaling centers on your relationship with God and how you experience His presence in your life.

Through spiritual journaling, you can:

• Express your raw prayers and emotions to God.

• Record moments when you sense His direction.

• Document Scripture passages that speak to your heart.

• Track your spiritual growth over time.

• Preserve promises and God encounters.

  
  

What makes this practice so powerful is that it becomes a living testimony of God's faithfulness. When you're walking through difficult seasons, you can look back and see the mountains God has already helped you climb. Those written words become anchors of hope.

An anchor is securely embedded in the sand of a tranquil beach, symbolizing steadfast hope as described in Hebrews 6:19-20, which addresses spiritual certainty and Jesus' role as a pioneer.
