Simple ways to stay consistent:

• Set aside 10–15 minutes daily for journaling and prayer.

• Focus on one verse at a time rather than full chapters.

• Keep your journal beside your Bible to make reflection easier.

• Use guided devotionals or journaling apps for inspiration and structure.

Remember: every page you write is a small act of worship, your way of saying, “Here I am, Lord.”
