journaling prompt:✨child-like✨
✨prism prompt✨
have you ever considered how embracing ‘childlike qualities’ can deepen your connection with God and bring vibrant joy to your everyday life? as you ponder that question, consider qualities like innocence, trust, and wonder.
there’s such beauty and freedom that comes from approaching life with childlike innocence. in that space we’re able to let go of criticism, skepticism, and the weight of past disappointments. which then empowers us to engage relationships —with God and people—with a fresh perspective.
this often sparks the next quality mentioned: childlike trust. in healthy environments children possess an ability to just believe that they will be provided for. there are no burdens of worry about being taken care of; no concern regarding what they’ll eat, where they’ll sleep, or if they’ll have clothes to wear. additionally, thoughts of having to be perfect to warrant being cared for, or having to work for the affections and attention of their father don’t enter their little minds. everything is simply given to them; all they do is receive.
and then there’s the sense of wonder children possess. finding a tiny bug or a brand new moving box can lead to a wholehearted adventure. a child’s wonder wraps their world in living color; it touches their senses, and opens them up to endless possibilities and experiences that leave them filled with vibrant joy.
take a moment and reflect on the nature of God as a good Father. then consider what Jesus said in matthew 18:3: 'truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven'. finally, invite the Holy Spirit to show you how embracing childlike qualities can deepen your connection with the Father and lead to new, rich, discoveries of life in His kingdom—right here, right now.

Journaling can be a powerful tool in reflecting on childlike qualities and their impact on our lives. Start by creating a dedicated space where you can write freely. Use prompts that encourage you to explore your sense of wonder and trust in God. Consider adding elements that inspire joy, like sketches or stickers, to make your journaling experience vibrant. Reflect on specific moments when you felt completely carefree and open, just like a child. Explore how those feelings enable you to connect more deeply with your faith, processing thoughts about God more openly and honestly. This exercise not only declutters your mind but also ignites your spirit with excitement and inspiration. Responding to God with a pure heart will help shift your perspectives and lead to rich discoveries about your journey in faith. Incorporating practices such as meditation or prayer before journaling can also enhance your exploration of child-like qualities. Seek to invite the Holy Spirit into your writing space, asking for guidance and clarity in your reflections. Over time, you may find that this approach transforms how you perceive your relationship with God, allowing you to embrace each day with delight, trust, and unyielding optimism.
I read this verse the other day. It really hit me. I had to grow up young. I never really got to be a child. To be “child like” is foreign to me. So I’m trying to explore and embrace this. I’m definitely going to dive into this more this week.
