Journaling (5)
He is the best Christian who keeps the history of God's gracious dealings with him most carefully so that he may read it in his past experiences when at any time his thoughts trouble him and his spiritual rest is broken with distracting fears for the future. Christian in Complete Armour
Preserve thy experiences of past mercies, and thy hope will grow stronger for the future.
Keep a diary of all your closet experiences. Carefully record and book down all your closet mercies. Be often reading over and meditating upon your closet experiences. There is no way like this to inflame and engage your hearts in this secret trade of private prayer.
Many of the saints of God have reaped no small benefit by recording the dealings of God with their own souls and looking over them in times of distress. Dr. Calamy speaks of a very good woman that had for many years written down her evidences for heaven. Before she died, she was for a time suffered to sink into darkness and despondency. By reading over her own diary and observing the past lovingkindness of the Lord and the sweet communion she had often enjoyed with Christ her God and Savior, her gloomy fears vanished, and her soul began to triumph in her great deliverer.
