A Monthly “Pray • Read • Reflect” Practice

A simple way to make space for God each morning—even when your mind feels scattered.

You want to spend time with God.
But life is loud. And on some days, it’s all you can do just to breathe and keep moving.

That’s why I created the “Pray • Read • Reflect” monthly journal system—a simple, flexible rhythm you can return to over and over. No pressure. No complicated format. Just a peaceful way to connect with God through scripture and journaling, one quiet moment at a time.

What Is the “Pray • Read • Reflect” System?

It’s a monthly printable pack that helps you:

• 🌿 Start your morning with scripture

• ✍️ Reflect on what God is showing you

• 🕊️ Respond in prayer and journaling

• 📖 Answer a guided journal prompt based on truth from God’s Word

Each month you’ll get:

• A set of 15 Bible verses to read slowly throughout the month

• A matching set of 15 journal prompt questions

• A reusable journal page with gentle prompts to help you focus and reflect

This practice is perfect for busy Christian women who crave intentional, meaningful time with God—but don’t want to feel overwhelmed by another routine.

How to Use the Pages

1. Pick one verse from the monthly sheet.

2. Open your Bible, read it slowly, and write it at the top of your journal page.

3. Pause. Let God speak through it.

4. Fill in the journal sections:

   • What is God showing me today?

   • How do I want to respond?

   • Answer the journal prompt question provided for that day.

   • End with your prayer.

Use one page a day, or just a few times a week—whatever pace works for you. This system is flexible on purpose. It’s about connection, not performance.

🌿Why This Practice Helps Calm Anxious Thoughts

So often, we wake up already in motion—reaching for our phones, spiraling in to-do lists, trying to get ahead of the day.

But this practice helps you:

• Pause and listen before reacting

• Let God’s truth shape your inner world

• Put your anxious heart in God’s hands first, not last

You’re not just journaling—you’re surrendering, listening, and letting His Word speak into your day. It’s one of the most powerful ways to shift your mindset and invite peace.
