Journaling has the appeal of mingling the motions of our lives with the mind of God. Permeated with prayer and saturated with God’s word, it can be a powerful way of hearing God’s voice in the Scriptures and making known to him our requests. Think of it as a subdiscipline of Bible intake, and especially of prayer. Let a spirit of prayer pervade, and let God’s word inspire, shape, and direct what you ponder and pen.
