Prayer is the perfect way to commence my day by humbly asking God, “Lord, what do you want me to do?” This simple act sets the tone for the rest of my day and allows me to prioritize Him over everything else in my busy schedule. Meditation and journaling have transformed into integral aspects of my life, something I cannot imagine doing without. It lets me quiet down the noise around me and dive into a quiet time with God. Through meditation, I find peace in being fully present in each moment – acknowledging both gratitude for blessings received and seeking guidance for challenges ahead. If you desire to incorporate Bible meditation and journaling into your daily life, let me assure you that there is no single correct way to approach this practice.

Read, Pray, And Be In God’s Word Daily. Not In A Legalistic Way, But In A Way Because God Has Loved And Saved You (Not To Earn A Reward From God), But Out Of Your Love For God!

However, the fundamental principle lies in including three key elements: reading God’s word, praying fervently, and remaining receptive to His voice through scripture or heartfelt conversations with Him. Additionally, enriching your experience with a daily devotional can be incredibly beneficial. Creating a designated space for quiet reflection also proves helpful; somewhere peaceful and free from distractions, one can truly concentrate on communing with God. Having such uninterrupted moments in the morning holds immeasurable value for me. It would undoubtedly be an excellent starting point even if you only allocate five minutes initially—gradually building up more. I highly value my quiet time in the morning, if you would start reading 5 minutes daily, and building it up that would be a great idea.~ Bill Greguska

Psalm 19:14  May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer.

How To Write A Bible Prayer Journal!

 

Meditation And Journaling With God’s Word:

  • Start by reading a paragraph or two. As soon as you forget what you just read, STOP! Go back and re-read what you’ve just read.

 

  • Close your eyes and try to playback (paraphrase) what you’ve just read. Meditation isn’t memorization but is somewhat similar. This is just asking your mind to get working. If you can’t do it, go back and re-read the same paragraph(s). Repeat this until you can quickly paraphrase what you’ve just read with your eyes closed.

 

  • Next, think about what you’ve just read. Say a quick prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal the meaning of the text to you.

 

  • Invite the Holy Spirit to convict you of what’s most important about these verses to you right now. Then listen.

 

 

What Type Of Christian Are You?

Meditation and Journaling on God’s Word:

  • In its purest form, journaling can be rewriting a few verses in a notebook. Write down in your journal if a scripture stood out in the passage.

 

  • The next level of journaling is to write what God is trying to communicate to you.

 

  • Next, write what you say to God as a written prayer. Tell God what YOU think of the verses.

 

  • Next, write what you will do to apply the verses to your life.

 

  • Lastly, think about these verses throughout your day. Re-read your notes during lunchtime or a break. Continue to listen as God speaks through His word.

 

Reading the Bible isn’t a race; there is no finish line. So, take your time and read, meditate, and journal. This is reading for quality. You will be blessed with a much richer experience than just reading to complete as many pages in a hurry. Meditation and journaling are two things we can improve on in our lives.

 

What Kind Of Meditation Should Christians Avoid?

Meditation And Journaling!

You’ll need your Bible and a notebook. Have those handy before you continue. Have you read a few chapters of your Bible, closed it, and then realized, “I don’t remember what I’ve just read”? It happens to everyone when we fall into the trap of reading it like other books.
The Bible is not like other books. It isn’t meant to be read once and just put down. The Bible is an instruction manual for living a Godly life intended to be studied and followed. It is to be examined, meditated upon, and, as you are able…memorized. Journaling as you read your Bible is a great way to do this.

A Couple Bible Verses To Consider:

  • James 1:22-25, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it–will be blessed in what he does.”

 

  • Psalm 119:15-16, “I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.”
