Renewal begins in the mind. Galatians 5:25 reminds us, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” When our thoughts are in sync with the Spirit, our choices, attitudes, and even emotions begin to reflect His nature. This journaling set will help you slow down, notice your mental patterns, and bring them into alignment with God’s ways—so your thought life becomes a living testimony of His presence and guidance.
