The Morning Offering Journal
Reclaim your day by giving it away
Our calendars are full; our lives are busy. Before our feet even hit the floor in the morning, a million to-do’s race through our heads.
However, each new morning offers us the ability to choose another path. A less frantic path.
A path marked by the deep peace and joy that comes from consciously deciding to lean in to God’s plan for our days.
Today, and each day, we can elect to start our days in a posture of worship. We can begin by reorienting our hearts towards Him.
As a new day dawns, the Morning Offering Journal extends an invitation to you…a summons to draw nearer to the One who loves you most of all.
Approachable and rich in beauty, the Morning Offering Journal allows you to center your heart and your mind on God at the break of each new day.
Learn More About the Morning Offering Journal
Inspired by the Morning Offering Prayer written by Fr. François-Xavier Gautrelet, The Morning Offering Journal utilizes both the tradition of scripture and simple, thoughtful prompts to allow you to offer your whole self to God.
For each entry of this ninety day journal, you’ll find a short scripture passage on which to meditate and a journaling page on which to write your prayers. The journal also offers additional opportunities for reflecting on your morning routine and writing a Morning Offering prayer in your own words.
The Morning Offering Journal doesn't require a background in theology, a knowledge of scripture, or even a structured study plan. All you need is an honest heart, the desire to be with God, and a few minutes each day. You can begin the Morning Offering Journal at any time, as the white, 60lb pages are dated by you and not the calendar year.
Whether you choose to keep the Morning Offering Journal on your nightstand and journal upon waking, or elect to pray over these pages during your first daily sips of coffee, rest in the knowledge that God is with you.
Today, choose to reclaim your day by giving it away to Him, asking Him to guide you, both as you journal and as you enter the rest of your day.
Explore Inside
Each day of #TheMorningOfferingJournal consists of a scripture page and a journaling page.
THE SCRIPTURE PAGE:
As you begin to reflect on the daily scripture, you will notice that the first half of the scripture passage is written in a typed font while the second half of the passage is written in a script font. The page is designed in this way to encourage you to inhale while you read the first half of the scripture passage and then to exhale as you pray the second half. We invite you to deepen your relationship with God by continuing to prayerfully breathe the scripture in and out for a few minutes before proceeding onto the journaling page.
THE JOURNALING PAGE:
Modeled directly after the Morning Offering prayer, the daily journaling page features five journaling questions that explore different aspects of your day through the lenses of thanksgiving and petition. The five questions encourage you to reflect more deeply on your initial thoughts upon rising, as well as your prayers, works, joys, and sufferings, offering each one in turn to God.
