My 1st Month of Journaling

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control.

 Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
