12 Christian Journaling Prompts for Peace and Gratitude

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true… think on these things.” — Philippians 4:8

For peace

  • What worry am I carrying today that I can hand to God?
  • Where do I need to trust instead of understand?
  • What is one true thing I know about God, even when I feel afraid?
  • What would it look like to leave tomorrow in His hands?

For gratitude

  • Name three small mercies from today.
  • Who has been a gift to me this week, and have I told them?
  • What is something ordinary I would miss if it were gone?
  • How has God been faithful to me in a season I once feared?

For renewing your mind

  • What thought have I been rehearsing that I need to lay down?
  • What verse do I want to carry with me today?
  • What is lovely and good that I can dwell on right now?
  • Who do I want to become, and what is one small step toward her?
