Deepen Your Faith with Journaling

In the midst of life’s bustling pace, finding moments of connection with God can sometimes feel like a challenge. As Christian women, we yearn to nurture our relationship with the Divine, seeking solace, guidance, and a deeper understanding of our faith. Amidst this search, have you considered the incredible journey of prayer journaling? Imagine capturing your prayers, thoughts, and cherished scriptures in a tangible way, allowing them to unfold on the pages before you. Welcome to a world of joy and growth, where The Stirring Faith Company offers a range of journals designed to illuminate your path.

Unlocking the Power of Journaling

Journaling has a magical way of turning mere words into meaningful conversations with God. It’s not just about recording events; it’s about creating a space where your heart and soul can pour out in honesty. I began doing this at the kitchen table with nothing more than a hurting heart and a spiral notebook when I was fifteen years old. Journaling has been part of my faith journey ever since. When we lift our thoughts and prayers to paper, we create a lasting record of our spiritual journey. The act of journaling helps us connect with God on a profound level, fostering self-awareness, gratitude, and a greater sense of purpose. I have never been the same.

Introducing The Stirring Faith Company Journals

This is why I began designing journals, now available here through The Stirring Faith Company or Amazon. At The Stirring Faith Company, we understand the importance of tailoring journaling experiences to suit your unique spiritual journey. Our range includes two distinct varieties: guided journals and unguided journals.

Embrace the Transformative Journey

Prayer journaling is more than a creative outlet; it’s a transformative journey. As you put pen to paper, you’ll witness the unfolding and movement of your thoughts, prayers, and understanding of Scripture. The guided journals by The Stirring Faith Company are like gentle companions, leading you through themes that resonate with your spiritual path. These prompts, verses, and quotes serve as stepping stones, guiding you toward a deeper relationship with God and a greater awareness of His presence.

On the other hand, the unguided journals offer a canvas for your soul to unfold freely. With blank pages awaiting your touch, you have the freedom to create your own structure and rhythm. These journals become a personal sanctuary where you can reflect, pray, and explore your faith without constraints.

The Joyful Harvest of Journaling

Imagine looking back at the pages of your journal, witnessing the growth, the answered prayers, and the evolving relationship with God. Time and time again, this has strengthened my faith by reminding me of Who God is and what He has done in my life at the perfect time. Your journal becomes a testimony of your journey—a tangible reminder of how far you’ve come and a beacon of hope for the path ahead.

Whether you’re drawn to the guided journals that gently lead you or the unguided journals that grant you creative freedom, The Stirring Faith Company provides a range to suit every Christian woman’s approach to prayer journaling.

Bay Area Day 4

Bay Area Day 4

Prayer Guide for Psalm 124

Welcome. We are in the midst of the first few days of a 21-day initiative put forth by my pastor, Bryan Haynes, at Bay Area Church, calling us to a fervent time of prayer and fasting. The focus is on the Psalms of Ascents leading up to Easter and then continues with the book of John until the days are complete. If you would like to listen to his message you can get it here. I created a printable prayer guide to go along with the readings. 

You will find Day 4: Psalm 124 below, with room to write notes, journal your thoughts, and prayers during this time.

To download, just click on the graphic and a link to a PDF version will pop up. There are two options: Bullet Journal if you like your lines spread out and a more classic style. Later today I will add a masculine version, by request.
