Quiet Time Journaling
Start with a
new blank book or notebook to journal in.
Leave several pages at the front for a table of contents.
Set aside 30
to 45 minutes for daily reading, quiet time, and reflection. Give God the best part of your day.
Pray that
God would reveal himself to you and speak to you through His word at the
beginning of each time.
Method for
journaling:
S.O.A.P. =
Scripture –
Write out the scripture that speaks to you.
Pick just one short text to focus on each day.
Observation –
Take time to carefully think about what the verse is saying, what is its
context or the tone of it. Write out
your observations. It may be only a few
sentences or an entire paragraph.
Application –
What is this verse teaching you personally and how will you apply it to your
life? Take the time to write it down.
Prayer – Write
a prayer asking God to help you apply today’s lesson to your life and thanking
Him for His word of truth.
After you
have finished, take a few minutes to give your entry a title. Flip back to the front of your journal and
enter it in your table of contents. This
will be a huge encouragement to you in later days when you are trying to
remember a specific verse or lesson God taught you.

Divine Mentor by Wayne Cordeiro. A
very encouraging read!
Reading Schedule
There are 3
reading assignments for each week. There
are two options to choose from. You may
either do an entire reading assignment 3 times during the week, picking just
one verse from the Old Testament or New Testament selection, or you could read
Old Testament one day and then the New Testament the next, giving you 6 days of
quiet times instead of 3.
Catherine
has set up a blog site for our group. I
hope that you will visit it often and share what God is showing you throughout
the week. This is a great way to stay
connected and receive encouragement, especially on those busy weeks that you
are unable to join us.
