Journal Bites
Topic: Stress Reduction
Thought to Ponder: Our stresses melt away when we choose to put our trust in God. Keep Him at the forefront of your mind. Run to Him when life seems too much to handle.
Journaling Activity: Choose one word that represents the absence of stress. (Ex. Peace, Calm, Rest). Compose a poem using your word. You can write a Haiku or an Alpha Poem. With an Alpha Poem, each letter of your word represents the next line in your poem.
Alpha Poem Example:
Remember how
Easy it is to
Sit with God and
Trust His plans for you.
Now it’s your turn:
Reflection: What was it like to write a poem? How can you use your “word” to remind you to trust God for your peace? Other insights?
