Decorative ideas include: A saying from the Bible, scrapbook cutouts, your name in large letters, words that represent the joy of Christianity to you, etc. If you’d rather, you can even make a journal from scratch. It all depends on how craft-savvy you are. There are prayer journal templates available for printing off from a variety of online sites; just do a quick search and choose what you like the look of.
You can make the journal as visual as you like. Mind maps, images, doodles, etc. , are all creative ways to increase the value and enjoyment of creating your Christian journal.
Write down verses, quotes and stories from the Bible that are of particular importance to you. You may wish to write down prayers too. These could be prayers you have read or ones that you have made up yourself.
For example, if you’re going through a hard time letting go of the past, look for verses that help you to deal with such letting go. You might focus on something like: “Psalm 27:14, Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord. " Or, “1 Corinthians 15:33, Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals. ”” Use a verse or story to inspire your plan for letting go and moving forward with God’s help.
Take the journal to such places as: school, church, the library, summer camp, when visiting family, etc.
