3 Journal Prompts To Help You Get Closer To The Woman God Is Calling You To Be
The following journal prompts are from my upcoming book, Write Your Life. Use them any time you need to be alone with the page and work through something specific, or as prompts for your Morning Pages.
1. what would your life look like
if you were more lead by god?
Imagine waking up in the morning and starting your day with God. What does that look like? What’s the first thing you would do? What would you do after that? Imagine every segment of your day to day routine being infused with the Holy Spirit. How would that feel? Who would you now have the courage to be? How would this lifestyle benefit your closest relationships? How would it benefit your community?
“I will instruct you and teach you
in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.”
Psalm 32:8
2. WHAT’s getting in the way of bringing this
holy spirit lead lifestyle into reality?
Now make a list of every single thing you can think of that’s getting in the way of living that ideal day to day existence with the Holy Spirit. Here’s a simple example: let’s say in your ideal Holy Spirit lead lifestyle you go for a daily prayer walk around the block. It’s simple, it’s easy, it doesn’t have to be longer than fifteen minutes, but your sneakers aren’t easily accessible. And you don’t have something comfortable to wear. Write those things down. Because we can’t properly prepare unless we know what we actually need. Some other examples of things that might be getting in the way: sleeping in, Netflix, scrolling, perfectionism, other peoples opinions, fear, clutter, comparison, etc…
God is able to make all grace abound to you,
so that having all sufficiency
in all things at all times,
you may abound
in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:8
3. imagine you’re a vessel for something God
wants to bring into the world using your
unique talents and gifts
If you immediately stopped comparing yourself to what everyone else is doing, what are those things God has put on your heart to bring forth? What are the things that YOU are a container for? Whether big or small. Remember God made us all different so that we could all share our skills with the body of Christ to be a fully functioning community! God is a brilliant designer. So what are the things He is encouraging you to bring forth to the body?
“For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand
that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:10
Trust who god is calling you to be
As hard as it might feel sometimes, don’t overcomplicate your calling. Most often it’s pretty simple. Imagine yourself as a cute little hand crafted cup that God created and designed with a specific and needed purpose—and let that be, enough.
“…who are you to reply against God?
Will the thing formed
say to him who formed it,
“Why have you made me
like this?”
Romans 9:20
