2 Corinthians 12:9-10 EXB: A Memory Passage

2014-10-01 07:04:53, Wednesday

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Expanded Bible (EXB)

9 But he said to me, “My grace is ·enough for you [sufficient for you; all you need]. ·When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you [L For (my) power is perfected in weakness].” So I am very happy to ·brag [boast] about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can ·live [reside; or rest] in me. 10 For this reason I am ·happy [pleased; content] when I have weaknesses, insults, ·hard times [times of need], ·sufferings[persecutions], and ·all kinds of troubles [distress] ·for [for the sake of] Christ. Because when I am weak, then I am truly strong.

Bible and Prayer Journaling September 19, 2014

Words to pray, journal, and contemplate today.

Psalm 19:7-14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7 The instruction of the Lord is perfect,
renewing one’s life;
the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy,
making the inexperienced wise.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
making the heart glad;
the command of the Lord is radiant,
making the eyes light up.
9 The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever;
the ordinances of the Lord are reliable
and altogether righteous.
10 They are more desirable than gold—
than an abundance of pure gold;
and sweeter than honey,
which comes from the honeycomb.
11 In addition, Your servant is warned by them;
there is great reward in keeping them.

12 Who perceives his unintentional sins?
Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
13 Moreover, keep Your servant from willful sins;
do not let them rule over me.
Then I will be innocent
and cleansed from blatant rebellion.
14 May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable to You,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Journaling Prompt: List Journaling

Journaling Prompt: List Journaling

Make a list of anything your heart desires. List your favorite books. What three memories have you made so far today. List 25 blessings you have in your life today. List 1000 places you want to see. List 1000 places you've been. List 1000 things you've owned or had in your possession in your life.

Now, here's the key: Make sure to list as many memories as you can for each item you list. And, make sure to journal at least three sentences on each memory to describe it and why it came to mind.

List journaling is a freeing kind of journaling where you don't have to write an essay of sorts. Just make a list.

This is the kind of journaling to do to keep things simple. If you don't have time to journal, try this one. It saves time and is too easy to do. (Never mind how it's addicting.)

Tag. It's your turn. Give it a try.

And, should I?

Then, add as a Christian, the same questions apply here as well. What can I really do in regard to terror, as a female, as an American, and/or as a Christian?
