As you write these insights down, the Holy Spirit will give you a deeper dive, opening up the word of God to you in ways you have never seen it before.
Keeping a journal ought to be an integral part of your daily appointment with God.
Journaling can make all the difference that you desire when you go to meet God.
Keeping these four types of journals can change the course of your daily devotion forever.
A Journal of Insights.
This is the journal where you record the insights the Holy Spirit is giving to you as you pray and meditate in God’s word.
As you write these insights down, the Holy Spirit will give you a deeper dive, opening up the word of God to you in ways you have never seen it before.
A Journal of Random Ideas.
Other thoughts and ideas will come into your heart as you pray and meditate that are totally unrelated to what you are meditating or praying about.
It could be an important responsibility, assignment or appointment that you have forgotten but which the Holy Spirit brought it to your attention.
It could an idea of what should be the focus of your devotion the following day. All forms of random ideas or thoughts that may not be connected to the current focus of your devotion are recorded here.
This journal does not have to be special. It could be your usual diary or the one you use to record your sermons on Church.
A Prayer Journal.
This is where you have all your prayer points and all the people you are praying for.
Keeping a prayer journal is a guaranteed system to keep you praying. All you need to do is open it and keep praying.
A Gratitude Journal.
A gratitude journal records all the things you are grateful for. You can keep a gratitude journal daily, weekly or as convenient for you.
One of the functions of a gratitude journal is that it serves as a quick reference for you to immediately start thanking God when you begin your devotion.
Note that all these can be in a single journal just that you may have to compartmentalize it. You can also have it in different journals.
