Welcome to the First day of the 21-Day Gratitude Challenge.
I want to thank you all for purchasing and downloading the Journal! I thank God, for this idea and for stepping out on faith to help others grow in Christ.
Secondly, you can also watch the video on Instagram : @madebymakkisme if you are more of an audio learner.
Day 1:
The prompts are a self explanatory and feel free to ask if any questions you may have regarding them.
TODAY IM GRATEFUL FOR ….
- write 3 or more things that you can thank God for today.It can be something you’ve been praying for or something you already have.
- Example : If you have an interview for a job coming up you can write: Thank you Jesus for a new Job. Thank you for grace and favor on my interview.
LORD I NEED YOU TO …….
-here you write things you need God to handle
- This can be anything you are struggling with or a petition that has been on your heart
-For example : Lord I need you to protect my family. Lord I need you to break any curse over my life.
Remember that God is our friend, brother, father, everything in between. He loves you and once we let go of shame and fear, we can truly be vulnerable with him about everything.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURES AND PRAYER POINTS
- Feel free to study the scriptures I mention or use your own for today.There will be days when we will all do the same scripture and prayer points but for today.
- Tip: try to find a scripture that connects prompts 2 and 3.
- For example: If you need God to help you in school. Find scriptures about wisdom and that is a prayer point.
Example : LORD I need help with my classes this semester.
Scripture : Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— (Proverbs 1:5 NIV)
Prayer point: Lord Jesus, I pray that you give me wisdom to do well in my classes this semester, your word says in Proverbs 1:5 that the wise listen and add to their learning and the discerning get guidance. So i pray for wisdom and discernment so that I can learn and get guidance from you Holy Spirit. Thank you for your wisdom. In Jesus Name, Amen
