200 Christian Journal Prompts for Intimacy with God

As a Christian, I understand the importance of carving out time for intimacy with God. Sometimes, it can be difficult to find the right words to say or the right way to express our thoughts and feelings. This is where Christian journal prompts come in handy. In this blog post, I’ll be sharing 200 Christian journal prompts that will help deepen your relationship with God.

Before we dive into the prompts, let me share a personal example of how journaling has helped me grow closer to God. A few years ago, I was going through a really difficult season in my life. I was struggling with anxiety, depression, and just feeling lost in my faith. I knew that I needed to spend time with God, but I didn’t know where to start.

One day, I decided to sit down with my journal and write out my thoughts and feelings. I started with a simple prayer, asking God to guide me and reveal Himself to me in a new way. As I wrote, I felt a sense of peace and clarity that I hadn’t experienced in a long time. It was like God was speaking directly to me through my journal.

From that day on, I made it a habit to journal and meditate on God’s Word. It became a daily tool for connecting with God and growing in my faith. That’s why I’m excited to share these Christian journal prompts with you, hoping they will help you deepen your relationship with God.
