Use these Christian monthly journal prompts with daily Bible verses to renew your mind this June, fixing your thoughts on God.
Daily Journal Prompts and Bible Verses For Renewing Your Mind
I don’t know about you, but I need to be reminded of God’s Truth pretty often. Even when I know all of the right answers head knowledge-wise, I tend to be forgetful in my living.
- When someone says something hurtful, I instantly feel my worth and self-confidence plummet, doubting my identity in Christ.
- When I am so frustrated with myself for messing up (again), I spend a lot of time beating myself up instead of remembering I was created to need a Savior.
- When I get overwhelmed and stall out by a never-ending to-do list, I forget how to be still and be led by quiet waters. (Psalm 23)
This month, the monthly journal prompts are built around the Bible verses for renewing your mind through God’s Word.
Romans 12:2 urges us:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Each day this month, we’ll reflect on a specific Scripture and engage with a journal prompt designed to help internalize God’s truths and align our thoughts with His will.
