How vivid is your memory?
Do you remember specific details about life events?
When Father God is speaking to you, do you write down the details of your conversation?
Over the last couple of years, I have been keeping a journal (hand written and blog).
Here is a sample:
This is part of a prayer that I wrote on September 6th, 2006.
“Father, thank you for your presence. I sense and feel your Holy Spirit encouraging me. Thank you for your Word. Jesus, thank you for your sacrifice. Life brings stress and anxiety, but you bring calmness and peace. I worship you Father God. My soul rejoices, my heart yearns for you, my mind needs to be filled with the knowledge and understanding of your word.”
Without my notebook, I would never remember the details of this season in my life.
Scripture calls upon us to write our thoughts and conversations with God.
Habakkuk 2:2 The Message
2-3And then God answered: “Write this.
Write what you see.
Write it out in big block letters
so that it can be read on the run.Habakkuk 2:2 NASB
”2Then the LORD answered me and said,
”Record the vision
And inscribe it on tablets,
That the one who reads it may run.”
Try writing down your thoughts and prayers for a couple of days. Return to your journal in a couple of weeks and revisit your thoughts. It has been a blessing to be able to return to my journal and to see how God has answered prayers that I do not remember praying.
Allow Father God to speak with you today. God Bless!!
