Courage in the Journey in style of The Devotional Doodle Journal by Dayspring

 Alright, let's create a prompt inspired by Joshua 1:9, fitting the style of the Devotional Doodle Journal by Dayspring:

Prompt:

Theme: Courage in the Journey

Scripture: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:91

Reflection:

  • Where in your life do you feel you need to be strong and courageous right now?
  • What fears or discouragements are holding you back from stepping into God's calling for you?
  • How does the promise of God's presence give you courage?
  • What does "being strong and courageous" look like in your daily life?
  • Think about a time when you felt God's presence in a challenging situation. How can you remember that feeling now?

Doodle/Creative Expression:

  • Option 1: Visualizing Courage: Draw a symbol or image that represents courage to you. It could be a lion, a mountain, a sunrise, or something more personal.
  • Option 2: Map Your Journey: Create a simple map of your current journey, marking the places where you feel fear and the places where you feel God's presence.
  • Option 3: Draw a Shield of Strength: Design a shield with symbols or words that represent the strength and courage God provides.
  • Option 4: Lettering and Nature: Write out Joshua 1:9 in a bold lettering style and surround it with drawings of nature (trees, flowers, mountains) to symbolize God's constant presence.
  • Option 5: Draw a path, then draw footprints along that path, to show God is walking with you.

Prayer/Application:

  • Write a prayer asking God to give you the strength and courage to face your challenges.
  • List three specific actions you can take this week to demonstrate courage in your daily life.
  • Write down an affirmation based on Joshua 1:9 that you can repeat to yourself when you feel afraid or discouraged.

Additional Notes:

  • Encourage the use of vibrant colors to reflect strength and positivity.
  • Provide space for free-form doodling and creative expression.
  • Suggest using different art mediums to enhance the experience.
  • Remind the user that God's presence is constant, even when they don't feel it.

Hope in Bloom - Restoration of the broken pieces of life

Image
  That’s a beautiful and deeply meaningful vision— Hope in Bloom: Living Everyday with a God-Focused Heart   is a title full of gentle strength and promise. Let’s shape Ellie and Reid’s story into a scene that also works as a devotional reflection—something with heart, scripture, and a soft teaching moment through story. Devotional Story Draft – “The Garden Wall” Inspired by: Hope in the Storm – May: The Garden of Her Heart Theme: Restoration through Community Scripture: Isaiah 58:12 (NIV) "Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings." Scene: Ellie hadn’t cried when the wind knocked down the memorial wall. Not when she found the shattered terracotta pots, the wind-tossed ribbons, or the hand-written notes soaked and torn in the grass. She had blinked hard, clenched her jaw, and swept it all into a box. It was supposed to be a quiet way for people to grieve...

Verse 21: "Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God." This verse presents a contrasting scenario. When our conscience is clear, we have boldness and confidence in our relationship with God. Connecting Verse 20: Verse 20 comes in the middle of this discussion about assurance and a clear conscience. It addresses the times when our hearts do condemn us. This could be due to: Genuine conviction o...
