Hello! Welcome to the blog!
How has May treated you? Can you believe it's June already?! I decided to do something different this month. Instead of a wallpaper (no one has downloaded them *cries*), I'm bringing you a worksheet/journaling prompt. I hope you're ready to sit down and reflect, feel all the feels, and give them to God.
God has been dealing with me on the topic of renewing your mind, and it's something I've personally put off because I resist digging through old memories and relationships. However, I have a choice: I can either carry the pain, grief, and resentment, or I can acknowledge it, submit it to God, and stand on His Truth.
Friend, I want you to do the same. This month's prompt is Lies vs. Truth. If there are any lies you have believed lately or previously, it's time to acknowledge them. This could be a lie about yourself, someone else, or about God. I'll give you an example: For context, I am an introvert. I have previously closed myself off from friendships and experiences because I have repeatedly said, "I hate people."
Somewhere in my 35 years of life, I bought into the lie that I hated people because I'm naturally quiet and I look differently than others my age. The truth is, and it's taken me until recently to realize this, I love people. I enjoy being in the company of those I know and am getting to know. The lie that "I hate people" is incompatible with what God's word says. God's word says in 1 John 4:20: "If anyone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen." (ESV) I continue to pray and ask God to help renew my mind in this area, and I am grateful for the new friendships He has introduced into my life!
Now it's your turn! Access the download HERE for the worksheet and full details about the prompt. A resource I recommend for this is a topical bible. If you don't have one, Open Bible is a wonderful online resource.
Enjoy,
- Jasmine
