I try to approach each day with a positive attitude. Some days are easier than others but trying to have a good outlook seems to make even the hardest of days go just a little smoother.
“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” ~Proverbs 17:22 ESV
365 Pocket Morning Prayers
Recently, I’ve started reading the 365 Pocket Morning Prayers book each morning. It’s not a full devotional or Bible study. Each entry is simply a themed paragraph with a passage of scripture. The little tidbits get me going and help me focus for the day.
I don’t know about you, but when I first get up, I’m not ready for a deep Bible study. I save that for when I’m a little more alert. At the same time, I want to make sure that I start my day with some time with the Lord. The mini devotionals with scripture are a nice way to spend some time with the Lord before I get everyone moving in the morning.
At only 6.5″ X 4.25″, this journal can easily be tucked into a purse or bag for reading throughout the day. While each entry is labeled for one day of the year, you can also looks things up according to topic.
Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal
A gratitude journal is another way to relax and focus on the positive things in life. This gratitude journal is a hardcover journal which includes words of encouragement, scripture passages, journal pages, and activities meant to deepen your faith. It’s set up to not only be a journal but also a faith-based coloring book. The pages are heavy, so you don’t have to worry about bleed-through if you prefer to use markers rather than pencils.
Tyndale has made some of the pages available on their Pinterest creativity page, so you can print them out. You can also see some of their other journaling products.
