Thank you, Jean! Indeed, writing out my prayers and praises does help me experience God’s love and internalize his truth.

Love rereading those old journals. Sometimes when I go on retreat I will take certain ones – like one 10 years old for example to reread

I am very grateful for things I have written down through the years. They reinforce my memories of God’s faithfulness. Just today I was clearing off a shelf in my bedroom and discovered old journals from as far back as 2005. I read through a few pages and had to smile at my younger self. 🙂

Writing out, even struggling with the words, helps us discern what God is saying to us and hear him clearer.

There’s something about the process of expressing our hearts in writing that opens the door to new ideas–things we wouldn’t have discovered if we hadn’t struggled with unloading our minds. / In answer to your question: Recently I rejoiced again in the realization that God doesn’t bestow his lovingkindness upon us because he HAS to, since he made us. No, God DELIGHTS in manifesting his love and righteousness in our lives (Jeremiah 9:24)!

We never know when we will truly hear God speaking directly to us.
Blessings!
