Prayer journaling and what it means for spiritual growth

By ALESHA CADET

Tribune Features Reporter acadet@tribunemedia.net

WHETHER

for thoughtful reflections about life or penning your plan and goals for the future, journaling is much known to be a form of therapy for many. Even the bible says in verses like Jeremiah 30: 2, to “write in a book all the words I have spoken to you”. Moreover, there are websites such as healthyspirituality. org that speak on the power of writing things down. The writer Jean Wise noted: “When you write things down, articulate your dreams, goals, and prayers, struggle to find just that right word or phrase that describes a deep desire, God breaks in with power beyond our understanding and our lives become more meaningful. Writing things down invites God’s wisdom and clarity to how we think, speak, and live.”

A number of Bahamians shared their thoughts on putting

pen to paper when it comes to their walk with God.

“I don’t really journal now, but I used to do it a lot before.

Right now I can say though, I utilise writing down things in my notes app on my phone,” said Patricia Cooper.

She went on to say just yesterday she had a chat with a girlfriend where they were

speaking on a specific topic, a topic that led to her jotting down parts of the conversation.

“She shared with me the bible verse of God preparing a table for me in front of my enemies, and I immediately made a note of our conversation, just to go back and reflect on it when I had some free time. That is my version of journaling right now and

I like that it’s something I have a habit of doing, “ said Patricia.

For Jessica Johnson, who said she has a prayer app on her phone, her journals would usually start with a bible verse that has been on her mind after meditating on its meaning.

“Your journals don’t have to make sense to no one else but you. Ramble as much as you

want, let your thoughts flow freely and make it your safe space. I’m sure you have heard before, therapists encouraging persons to journal. I don’t know the scientific meaning behind how it helps with your mental state, but I can attest that it does. It’s my sanctuary, my sacred space, where I connect with not only who I am, but with the big guy upstairs,” said Jessica.

For me personally, prayer journaling is an intimate and fulfilling space where I collect a number of my daily prayer notes and reflect on them when needed, which is quite often.

Out of all the hustles of life, especially in a fast-paced, digital world - I believe it is important to make time specifically for just you and God. Whether that is first thing in the morning before connecting with your cellular device, or the last thing you do before closing your eyes at night.

The benefits don’t only offer a deepened spiritual growth, it also offers a form of stress relief and enhance creativity. So, grab a journal, find a quiet corner, and let your heart pour onto the pages. In this space, you may just find the muchneeded peace, clarity, and connection you’ve been seeking.

POPE URGES INDONESIA TO LIVE UP TO PROMISE OF ‘HARMONY IN DIVERSITY’

JAKARTA, Indonesia

Associated Press

POPE Francis urged Indonesia to live up to its promise of "harmony in diversity" and fight religious intolerance on Wednesday, as he set a rigorous pace for an 11-day, four-nation trip through tropical Southeast Asia and Oceania that will test his stamina and health.

Francis had a packed first full day in Indonesia, meeting with outgoing President Joko Widodo and other Indonesian authorities at the presidential palace, and then greeting Catholic priests, nuns and seminarians at Jakarta's main cathedral in the afternoon.

Cannons boomed as Francis joined Widodo on the veranda of the palace along with President-elect Prabowo Subianto. A marching band, stiff-legged troops and children in traditional Indonesian dress welcomed the first pope to visit in 35 years.

In his remarks to the Indonesian authorities, Francis compared the country's human diversity with the archipelago's 17,000 islands. He said each one contributes something specific to form "a magnificent mosaic, in which each tile is an irreplaceable element in creating a great original and precious work".

And yet, Francis warned that such diversity can also become a source of conflict. It was an apparent reference to episodes of intolerance that have flared in recent years in Indonesia as well as a broader concern about conflicts raging around the world.

"This wise and delicate balance, between the multiplicity of cultures and different ideological visions, and the ideals that cement unity, must be continuously defended against imbalances," Francis said. Political leaders, he said, had a particular role to play but he also assured Widodo of the Catholic Church's commitment to increasing interreligious dialogue.

"This is indispensable for meeting common challenges, including that of countering extremism and intolerance, which through the distortion of religion attempt to impose their views by using deception and violence."

Regionally, internal conflict in Myanmar has forced more than 700,000 Rohingya to flee to Bangladesh, where thousands have fled overcrowded, violent camps to countries including Indonesia. Francis met with at least one Rohingya refugee upon arrival Tuesday at the Vatican's residence in a show of support for refugees to be welcomed, not rejected.

Farther afield, Indonesia has long been a strong supporter of Palestinians and the government has regularly condemned Israel's war in Gaza. Widodo thanked Francis for the Vatican's support of Palestinians since the start of the war.

"War will not benefit anyone, war will only bring suffering and misery to the common people," Widodo said. "Therefore let us celebrate the differences that we have. Let us accept each other and strengthen tolerance to realise peace, to realise a better world for all humanity."

Francis arrived in Jakarta on Tuesday to kick off the longest, farthest and most difficult

trip of his pontificate given his myriad health problems. At 87, he uses a wheelchair, has regular bouts of bronchitis and has had multiple surgeries for intestinal problems.

By the trip's end on September 13, Francis will have flown 32,814 kilometers (20,390 miles) to visit Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore, one of the longest papal trips ever in terms of days on the road and distances traveled.

In Indonesia, Francis will be seeking to support the Catholic community, which only makes up 3% of the population of some 275 million, while seeking to encourage greater ties with the country that is home to the largest Muslim population.

The highlight of Francis' first stop will be his participation Thursday in an interfaith meeting in Jakarta's iconic Istiqlal mosque with representatives of the six religions that are officially recognized in Indonesia: Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Catholicism and Protestantism.

government officials, residents and community organizations.

"The pope's visit has an important role to play in encouraging Indonesia to end intolerance and discrimination against all minority groups. Freedom of religion is a right protected by the Indonesian Constitution," said Usman Hamid, executive director of Amnesty International Indonesia.

While Francis will want to highlight Indonesia's tradition of religious tolerance, the country's image as a moderate Muslim nation has been undermined by flare-ups of intolerance. In 2021, a militant Islamic couple blew themselves up outside a packed Catholic cathedral on Indonesia's Sulawesi island during a Palm Sunday Mass, injuring at least 20 people.

As Francis arrived, Amnesty International said it hoped his visit would encourage an end to acts of intolerance and discrimination against minority groups and truly promote a respect for religious freedom that is enshrined in the country's constitution.

In a statement, Amnesty noted that from January 2021 to July 2024, there were at least 123 cases of intolerance, including rejection, closure or destruction of places of worship and physical attacks. The perpetrators allegedly came from various backgrounds, including

In the afternoon, Francis meets with Indonesian clergy and nuns in Jakarta's Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral for his traditional pep talk to the local church. Indonesia is home to the world's largest Catholic seminary and has long been a top source of priests and nuns for the Catholic Church, though their numbers today are not keeping pace with the growth in the overall Catholic population. Asia, along with Africa, has long been seen as the future of the Catholic Church, both in terms of the number of baptised faithful and the number of men and women who decide to become priests or nuns. In Asia, the numbers are growing whereas longtime Catholic bastions such as Europe and the Americas have been seeing a long-term contraction both in the number of Catholics and those who enter religious life. While Indonesia can by no means compete with India or the overwhelmingly Catholic Philippines in terms of the overall number of baptised Catholics or priests, the number of men studying to become priests is continuing to grow whereas the number of seminarians in Asia overall has started to level off or even decline in the last few years.

According to Vatican statistics as of December 31, 2022, the last year for which data is available, there were 5,903 Catholic priests in Indonesia for a population of 8.29 million Catholics. While the number of seminarians studying for the priesthood in Asia has declined since 2017, including in the Philippines and India, Indonesia continued to add them, with 4,024 seminarians in 2022 compared to 3,777 in 2017.

Ebenezer Exuma hosts Back

To School church service

PARENTS and parishioners were encouraged to "bridle the tongues" when they discipline their children so as to not create a dysfunctional environment where correction is not received, during Ebenezer Exuma’s Back to School church service held on Sunday.

The powerful and timely message was delivered by Rev Stephen Smith, pastor of Ebenezer Farmers Hill Exuma, who every year warmly welcomes kids to worship with the congregation before they embark on another school year.

And while he encouraged and blessed the students - praying for their safety and success this school year - he also focused his message on parents and guardian in the pews.

"Do not provoke your children but rather speak positive. You cannot call them names like stupid or idiot and still expect them to be a genius. Children remember their parents words especially and it can negatively affect their productivity and even life path,” he said.

Rev Smith emphasised that positive reinforcements and structure at home will go a long way in assisting teachers in their daily interactions with students.

“Maintain a structure for your children's lives. This will help enforce what their teachers taught them in school as well as help them attain their personal goals. Spend time with your children, talk with them and allow them to be comfortable around you as parents to express what may be on their minds or even what they may be experiencing in life. It all begins at home,” he said.
