WOMEN’S JOURNAL IN GERMAN

'HOME HAVEN'

The purpose of this devotional journal is to promote personal and spiritual growth. That is exactly why I am pleased to introduce this devotional journal 'Heimathafen' (Home Haven) to you in a little more detail. This journal contains three categories, which cover the topics "Prayer", "Bible study" and "Gratitude".
The category 'Pour out' (prayer) is about pouring out your heart to our Father in Heaven. You can consider which biblical promise you would like to take up at this time, according to your concern. There is also a column "God teaches me" in which you can record which experiences or insights you have gained during this time of prayer. You can also write down your answers to prayer. By writing down your prayers as well as the answers to your prayers, you can fall back on them again and again in difficult times and thus be motivated to "keep on going".
In the category 'Immersion' (Bible study) a Bible passage is studied in more detail according to the now well-known "Bible - Discoverer - Method". The point is to copy the passage and then use the four fields to record what the passage says about God, people, and life with God. Examining a passage of the Bible gives you even deeper insight into the action itself. You will find that by studying the text, you might even easily develop devotional talks or sermons. This method can also be ideally applied in your small group meetings.
Nowadays you can gradually observe a trend that calls for being more grateful in life. For this there are countless gratitude journals, among other things to learn "mindfulness". Even the Bible, in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, asks us to be thankful "in ALL things, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you". Thankfulness is an essential part of our life, which goes along with how content and happy we are in life. The category 'Filling up' (gratitude) invites you to reflect, for example, at the end of a day, on what you are thankful for that day. At the same time, you can reflect on what God has shown you on that day. At the end of a week, you can take time again to collect how you experienced God's faithfulness during that week.
This journal is so extraordinary because YOU decide how much time you want to spend on your personal devotion and you will not only be strengthened but also blessed. You will notice that your spiritual life gains more depth, has a balancing effect on other areas of your life, you feel secure, feel safe, face challenges as a spiritual person, experience what it means to be a blessing for your fellow human beings and even experience miracles. I wish you much blessing and fulfillment on the way to this special experience. The devotional journal is available from Top Life Wegweiser Verlag, Vienna.
