HEY SISTER. What you’re about to see is a testimony of God’s faithfulness. Five years ago when I first dreamed up the Give Me Jesus Journal, I had no idea women all over the world would use it one day. What I did know was I deeply longed to know Jesus in the Word. My heart craved His truth, presence, and abundance. I had learned that everything in this world is rubbish when compared to Christ, but I wanted to taste and see firsthand that this was true.

When I first started jotting down ideas for this quiet time journal in 2014, I knew without a doubt that this journal was to be called the Give Me Jesus Journal. The hymn “Give Me Jesus” had been a long-time favorite of mine. However, there was a great mystery to the words “give me Jesus.” The lyrics start with this:

IN THE MORNING, WHEN I RISE IN THE MORNING, WHEN I RISE IN THE MORNING, WHEN I RISE

GIVE ME JESUS

Simple enough, yet powerfully life-altering. Do I want Jesus first thing? Do I really believe He is enough? Do I love Him with ALL of me: heart, soul, mind, and strength? These questions are what I wanted to answer through the journal. And I can honestly say, five years later, as I have studied the Word consistently using the Give Me Jesus Journal, I sing these words with more gusto than ever before. Why? Because I’ve tasted and seen that He is good, and none will ever compare to Him and the glory of the gospel.

I want this for you, too. I long to see women taste the goodness of the gospel themselves. I ache to see hearts come alive in His presence! I believe it is possible, and it starts with being women of the Word.

This journal is an invitation. It’s an invitation to go deeper in your walk with the Lord, put the #WORDbeforeworld, and live in the fullness that Jesus offers. Today is the day to start, sister. It’s the perfect day to open up His timeless Word and be changed into His likeness. I guarantee, you’ll never regret spending time getting to know Him in the Word.

Are you ready? Join me, as we root ourselves deeply in truth and flourish

HERE’S WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING ABOUT THE JOURNAL: This journal has helped me to have a more intentional approach to studying God's Word. -RACHEL, TENNESSEE

It's helped me to really dig into the Word, encouraged me to read what I'm studying multiple times and ask questions about what I'm reading. -ABBI, OKLAHOMA

It helps me to focus on Jesus instead of self. -E LI Z ABETH I can't say enough good things about it! I love starting off with gratitude, but my absolute favorite part is that it points me to look for who God is in every passage that I read and then draw application from that. -ALYSSA, TEXAS

This was the first tool I bought. I had no clue how to read my Bible before and this taught me how to ask questions and go through my Bible time slowly. This really just showed me how to read my Bible.

-HAYLEY, WASHINGTON

INSIDE THE JOURNAL Each day in the “Journal the Word” section is made of three pages. You’ll find space to note the date, time and place you are studying, as well as today’s gratitude. We include a section we call Be Still & Know for you to jot down a prayer or verse to still your heart upon. You have a page and a half of lined journaling space to dig deeply into the Word. Then you’ll find the application page: What I am learning about God, and How This Changes the Way that I Live. Lastly, you’ll find a large space to Pray Big!

FIVE TIPS TO PUT THE 1. Gather your Bible, Give Me Jesus Journal, and pen and place them in one consistent place. This will enable you to have easy access to the Word when you are going to study the Bible!

2. Have a plan! Choose one book of the Bible at a time to study and stick with it. This will remove the question of “what do I study?� when you come to the Word. Plus, it will enable you to better understand Scripture and study in context.

3. Choose one verse or passage to memorize and say first thing when you wake up to place your mind on the things of Christ.

4. Put your phone on airplane mode or leave it in another room when you are studying the Bible to eliminate distractions.

5. Have accountability! Find a friend or ask your spouse to help keep you accountable to get into the Word each day.
