My Thoughts: Over the course of a few weeks I used this as my daily devotional and a way to refocus my thoughts and become closer to God. As someone who's a beginning a journal, I liked the prompts offered on the pages. At least for me, it's helpful to have a starting point already there. Something to focus my thoughts and help me to get words on the page. I found it a lot less intimidating than just a blank page. The other unique feature of this prayer and praise Journal was the coloring aspect. Adult coloring books are becoming really popular. As studies have shown coloring is a good stress relief tool. So I thought it was pretty Innovative to have that a part of a devotional Journal. Some days when I wasn't ready to put words on the page it was still nice to be able to pull out the journal and color. Even while coloring I was able to calm my mind and my body and then be able to focus on praying or praising God. Overall I really recommend this book to anyone looking for a good devotional or way to calm your spirit and mind.
