Category: Family Journal with Mary DeMuthSeeing God as the Cheerleading One
How has God been for you in the past six months? How has He encouraged you in your marriage? Your parenting? Read this verse: "Do you see what we've got? An unshakeable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander" (Hebrews 12:28, MSG). Write a prayer to God, thanking Him for His specific encouragement. If you'd like, ask Him to show you how He's not an indifferent bystander in your life.
--Mary E. DeMuth
This is part of Mary E. DeMuth's guided journal, "Creating the Family You Always Wanted," a 12-week journey in Christian parenting. Twice a week, you'll receive a new journaling prompt encouraging you to think about your family--and God--in new ways. Use these prompts in your own journal or in group discussion. If you're joining this journal mid-way through, you can start journaling at any time, and stay subscribed at the end, when the journal will restart and you can receive the prompts that you missed.

Thank you for that suggestion. It helps me to put things down in writing. I actually pictured God reading it and then putting his hand on my shoulder to show me that he is NOT a bystander!
