Writing helps truth settle deep into the mind. Coloring slows the body. Scripture steadies the heart.

When I created my Scripture-based coloring journal, I wanted it to be more than pretty pages. I wanted it to be a tool. A gentle way to help Christian women retrain their thoughts using the Word of God.

The Bible tells us, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)

That verse is not poetic fluff. It is practical wisdom. The way we think shapes the way we live.

Many of us carry quiet thoughts that do not agree with what God says about us. Thoughts like, “I’m not enough.” “It’s too late for me.” “I always mess things up.” Those ideas feel familiar, but they are not truth.

So inside the journal, I include Scripture, affirmations, and space to reflect.

Use your own Bible and a notebook or journal you already have.

> When reflecting on Ephesians 2:10, “For we are his workmanship,” you are invited to write about what it means to be crafted by God Himself. Where have you believed you were flawed beyond repair? How does this verse correct that thought?

> When reading Romans 12:2, “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,” you are encouraged to identify one thought pattern that does not align with Scripture and rewrite it in the language of truth.

> Philippians 4:8 becomes a filter. Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure. You can take a draining thought and consciously reshape it through that lens.

This is not about pretending everything is fine. It is about replacing lies with truth. It is about learning to answer discouragement with Scripture.

Color slowly.
Repeat the truth.
Write what God brings to mind.
Pray it back to Him.

Over time, new thought patterns begin to form. Not because we are forcing positivity, but because we are anchoring ourselves in what God has already said.

Renewing the mind is not dramatic. It is daily. It is steady. It is faithful.

One page.
One verse.
One transformed thought at a time.
