Reflecting on the Psalms
From those of us on the Tree Church Daily team, we hope that you have had an amazing week in your purposed time with God. We pray that you were challenged and encouraged by God’s word and His presence in your daily life.
Today, we want you to do something simple yet incredibly important. Write your thoughts in a journal, or record them in a voice journal. This does not need to be profound, poetic, or polished. It is a record for you to visit later to see and remember all that God is doing in your life. Journaling is a way to remind you of what God is speaking to you. And speaking something out or writing it down makes what we are thinking tangible and makes us accountable to it. If God has challenged you or called you to do something specific this past week, making it tangible makes it real. So don’t skip today…today is about faith building, and that is what we pray happens for you.
Before you get started though, let’s pray together:
Holy Spirit,
Thank You for giving me the psalms; they are wonderful examples of how You stirred Your people throughout history into prayer and worship. Now as I reflect on the things You brought to my attention this week, remind me of Your faithfulness even in the face of difficulty. Remind me that I can bring my struggles to You honestly, and trust that You hear me and care. Speak to me now as I sit with You today.
Here are today’s prompts for you to process through in your written or voice journal:
First, focus on God’s promises to you. How did God demonstrate His faithfulness this week?
Second, focus on your current reality. What was one thing that God spoke to you about the situations you face?
Lastly, focus on a step God challenged you in. Did God speak something to you this week you need to do? If so, what was it? How and when do you plan to do it?
