Finding Strength in Stillness in the style of the Devotional Doodle Journal by Dayspring

 Alright, let's create a prompt in the style of the Devotional Doodle Journal by Dayspring, blending scripture, reflection, and creative expression:

Prompt:

Theme: Finding Strength in Stillness

Scripture: "Be still, and know that I am God." - Psalm 46:10

Reflection:

  • In the midst of life's chaos, where do you find your moments of stillness?
  • What distractions keep you from hearing God's quiet voice?
  • How can you create intentional space for stillness in your daily life?
  • What does it mean to you to "know that He is God" in moments of quiet?
  • How does the idea of stillness relate to your current situation or a challenge you're facing?

Doodle/Creative Expression:

  • Option 1: Visual Representation of Stillness: Draw or doodle a scene that represents stillness to you. It could be a quiet forest, a peaceful lake, a sunrise, or an abstract representation of calm.
  • Option 2: Symbolic Doodle: Doodle symbols that represent the distractions that keep you from stillness. Then, doodle symbols that represent the peace you find in God.
  • Option 3: Lettering & Design: Write out Psalm 46:10 in a creative lettering style and decorate the page with floral patterns, geometric designs, or other visual elements that bring you peace.
  • Option 4: Color Meditation: Color a page with calming colors (blues, greens, purples) while reflecting on the scripture. Let the colors guide your thoughts and prayers.
  • Option 5: Draw your interpretation of Gods still small voice.

Prayer/Application:

  • Write a prayer asking God to help you find moments of stillness and to hear His voice more clearly.
  • List one practical step you can take today to create more stillness in your life.

Additional Notes:

  • Encourage the user to use different art mediums (colored pencils, pens, watercolors, etc.).
  • Leave ample space for drawing and writing.
  • Add a small decorative border or frame around the prompt to make it visually appealing.
  • Encourage the user to date their entry.

This prompt encourages both inward reflection and outward creative expression, allowing for a deeper connection with the scripture and a more personal devotional experience.

Devotional - Faithfully Waiting On God To Move

  Faithfully Waiting On God To Move A Devotional by Toni Walker All my life you have been faithful, All my life you have been so, so good, With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God -- Goodness of God, song I not going to say I am cursed because definitely I am not. I'm just waiting. And have been waiting for a very long time. When I was in college, I had an experience I let color my life for decades. One day I went to a restaurant. I'm not even sure it was a restaurant at this point. Not even sure of the occasion since I didn't go out much. At this place there was a palm reader.  She took my hand and made a bunch of, "ah shucks, sorry, girl" faces and then told me I wouldn't find love till later in life. She then shrugged and moved on to the next table. To her it was nothing, no big deal, but to me being so young and wanting to find love, it crippled me. I was dating someone at the time, but she had shook her head saying it wasn'...

How to Be an Overcomer in Life

  How to Be an Overcomer in Life By Toni Walker 1. You Choose Your Focus We can spend all day blaming others and our situation for how we are so pushed down. But basically you have to dry those tears, put on your big girl panties and decide -- ENOUGH! I am worthy of it all, just like the song says. We choose our focus every day. How we react and what we choose to do with our day is so important. Pastor Quinton Runyon used to say you can see what your life is by looking at who you are spending time your with and what you are reading or watching on tv/YouTube. How are you programming yourself each day? If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future. Focus on living in the present.  Then Ask for what you want, then Knock and Seek! 2. Wait on God to move if you are unsure. Sometimes we just can't see the path before us. It's okay to take a break and rest until your path clears. 3. If you fall down, RefocusTHe Get back up, dust yourself off an...

Psalms, Parables & My Spiritual Walk

Psalms, Parables & My Spiritual Walk by Toni Walker As I was moving through my day today, I made a decision that circumvented one I had made in my morning breakfast post. These posts come from my Influencer account which I call: Your Good Neighbor Suggests. The is something I post on IG/Facebook each morning and suggest some of my favorite things to eat in the early AM. In that post I mentioned I was going to change my Creative You blog into a more spiritual mission than it was previously. Currently, it is all about the creative things I do.   My decision was that I’m going to refocus a bit. I had let the Creative You blog lapse and hadn’t posted anything on it since right before covid hit  i n 2019. This morning I came up with a new blog name called: Praise Him Psalms and Parables, Praises and Promises.    I will leave the blog Creative You as it is and try to be more cognizant about posting there in the future the things that strike my creative fancy. I want to...
