Writing and wellness are natural allies. When approached in a purposeful and intentional way, journal writing can be an agent for healing and change. Writing thoughts and feelings in a journal develops insight, compassion for self, and body awareness. Writing organizes cognition, articulates intuition, and regulates emotion. Journaling is a record of personal thoughts, daily events, and evolving insights. By giving the writer a voice, journaling allows the opportunity for the writer to release emotions and make sense out of complex life experiences. Journaling is a vehicle for self-understanding, self-guidance, expanded creativity, and spiritual development. The journal allows writers to freely express themselves without judgment, criticism or analysis. A scream, anger, whimper, sadness, wail, and rage are all acceptable behaviors to the journal. Journal writing is a form of self-expression that can add dimension to the writer’s life.

Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
And after you have suffered a little while,
the God of all grace, who has called you
to his eternal glory in Christ,
will himself restore, confirm,
strengthen, and establish you.
He is like a tree planted
by streams of water that yields
its fruit in its season, and its leaf
does not wither. In all that he does,
he prospers.
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for you are my praise.
You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Call to me and I will answer you,
and will tell you great and hidden
things that you have not known.
Commit your work
to the Lord, and your plans
will be established.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up.
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Weeping my endure for a night,
but joy comes in the morning.
As a deer pants for streams of water
so my soul pants for you my God.
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
You are altogether beautiful, my love,
there is no flaw in you.
Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually.
He is not afraid of bad news: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you.
And though your beginning was small,
your latter days will be very great.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
I can do all things through
Christ who strengthens me.
