- Scripture writing is the simplest way to completely transform your Bible study life. By simply writing scripture in your prayer journal or Bible journal you can find a new joy & appreciation for the scriptures and go in-depth studying the Bible by scripture writing! Whether it's in a scripture journal(a specific journal just for writing the Word), Bible journal(writing the scriptures in your Bible, itself), prayer journal(pray/writing the scriptures) or war binder(making it a part of your daily prayer/Bible study life)- I suggest you try it today!
If you are new here, HI! My name is Faith and I am a mom of two toddlers, full time seminary student, and pastor's wife. I love Bible studies and bible journaling and could do it all day long! This is my passion- to study and love the Word and then to capture it here, not to just show you how to faith a life, but to encourage and equip you to live a life of faith!

I also recommend writing it in your very best handwriting. For most of us, this very act forces us to slow down as we are usually a bit sloppy when writing.
I started scripture writing, and it really helps to remember the verse or verses that you are writing. It has helped me meditate on God's word so much more. Thank you for the tips to go deeper with scripture writing. ❤😊
In one of my university classes, the professor showed us some really old bibles and songbooks. The most impressive was a complete handwritten copy of the Statenvertaling (basically the dutch equivalent of the KJV). Not only was it the complete Bible, but it was also illustrated! It really inspired me to start writing scripture more as a form of reflection.
Anytime I am asked to write a poem for a special church service, I always write out all the scripture readings of that service before starting.
My greatest understanding is when I scripture write thru an entire book. Asking questions as they come into my mind or making observations of things I notice or can relate to. My thoughts are always either boxed off or in another color pen. I learn a lot this way.
Wow! I love that approach! I want to go try that RIGHT NOW!
Did you ever try this ?@@HowtoFaithALifewould love to hear how it worked out for you! 🥰
ADHD is with hyperactivity while ADD is lack of focus without hyperactivity. I thought I would give back 😉 Great video. The more I interact and use all my senses, the better I memorize and hold on to the knowledge! Very helpful 💯
THANK YOU! I was hoping someone would comment and let me know the difference! I googled it and got even more confused and went down a googling rabbit hole lol!
Scripture writing is AWESOME! I've been Scripture writing for 5 years and have grown so much for doing this simple yet amazing exercise. I highly encourage everyone to write Scripture.
Yes yes yes! Where would you tell a beginner to start scripture writing?
@@HowtoFaithALife , personally, I began writing short books in the Bible, then I found Scripture writing groups on FB. Sheree and Sisters in Christ, Daily Scripture Writing, Scripture Writing Group and there are many, many more. They give a monthly sometimes subject themed writing list for the month. One more group is Coffee with Jesus I really enjoy and joined about a month ago. Hope this helps everyone. Hod bless you and your family 😇💙
@@HowtoFaithALife I use a planner with daily sections to write mine out. I've been doing it for 3 years now and it's been life changing. The planner helps me to stay consistent because the date prompts me to do it first thing in the morning while in my prayer and Bible time. I've grown so much from it. Pinterest has so many different themes for scripture writing for each month/year. I choose mine at the end of the current month choosing a theme that speaks to my spirit and my life at the time. I love it!
Thank you!!
@@HowtoFaithALifejust do it when you want to
I tried for so long to find a study method that worked for me. In the end I have a verse of the day which I write out and then write in another 3 translations. It really helps me to understand as often it's quite key words that are different but flesh out the meaning. I then write my summary or my thoughts on what I've learned. Studying just a verse or two at a time works better for me than doing a chapter or so. Pumped to hear that you do something similar!! Thanks always for your great insights and the time you spend on these! Hugs from New Zealand.
Wow, Liza! That's so cool! That is really neat that we do something similar! And it's also super neat to meet a sister in Christ from New Zaealand! Thanks for commenting and introducing yourself! :)
Verse mapping is SO helpful! Looking it up in diff translations, checking Greek/Hebrew definitions for words, and definitely checking commentaries on a verse, looking for repetitive words. It all helps understand a verse so much more!!
Yes agreed! I still need to make a video on how to do it, it’s just QUITE a process for me, over multiple days!
@@HowtoFaithALife oh for sure. It can be a rabbit hole!!!!
Hi! Love this video! What I started doing to write down scripture is using caligraphy which you can look up and download for free PDF documents on Google, or use stencils. It makes it prettier and more artistic and REALLY slows the process down.
Sometimes I find myself going on a rabbit trail, and I have to just make my self pick one word or a verse or a subject and go from there. Because I get excited and I like oh, this is good, lol.
Yes!! I was just printing out my plan for starting in March and am really excited to start this in my new interleaved Bible as well. Thank you for sharing good tips that I will definitely use this time around.
When I'm taking notes from a sermon or lesson, I will often copy an entire verse into my notes in a different color or font to really emphasize it. Looking forward to watching the video about scripture in the prayer journal. I've been prayer journaling for a long time, but, even though I pray the scriptures a lot, it never occurred to me to write the scripture in my journal.
Thank you so much for your videos. You are such a blessing to my faith walk.
I highlight. I sometimes notate in the margins. But the thought of keeping a scripture journal never occurred to me until one day when I was cleaning the church and went into the Seminary room. Seminary is our church's high school gospel study class that takes place on school days, typically before school starts in the morning. Some of the kids had left their scriptures in there along with journals that were each labeled as "scripture journal." I had no idea what that was for. I don't know why I never thought to ask the Seminary teacher, but I didn't. You explained it to me very well. Thank you.
So cool! It really is SO HELPFUL!
I started doing this in October and I get my scripture from three different apps and it's really cool to see how far I've grown since then and more importantly it helps me memorize scripture a lot better Perry witches helpful because ever since I had covid my brain has been a little shots to remember things
I love my Scripture writing time. I have always done it topically but month, just because that’s how I first saw it done and liked it, lol. My mornings just aren’t the same if I skip it. You made some great points in this video that I want to take note of. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad this was encouraging! That’s so cool to hear how you do it! Thanks for sharing! It gave me ideas for my own quiet time!
I have ADHD and what I do is I write out my prayers every time I pray (other than like micro prayers I do throughtout the day) that way I have something to look back on and it keeps my head organized!! Love ya Faith!!!
1. Moisonite rules!!!
2. Yes, this is SO important.
3. You are a great inspiration for me. I truly love your videos and you go deeper and speak honestly. I appreciate that so much!
Wow, I am so honored, thank you for your sweet words! Also, yes- I love Moisonite!
That IS a beautiful ring!
I am loving scripture writing and want to also incorporate word mapping. I am going to see if you have videos on that. Thank you so mush! This was so helpful. Love and blessings!
Hey Faith! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Your recommendations were really helpful and I am now looking at my scripture writing in a new, fresh way. God bless! 🥰♥️🥰
I'm so glad! Praise the Lord! Where have you been scripture writing lately?
@@HowtoFaithALife I usually use the Verse of the Day from YouVersion. :)
@@karenc.8622 ooooh I haven’t ever thought of doing that with their verse of the day! Brilliant!
Good reminder! I love writing, and often will write down verses. I really like the wording of the Amplified version. I read through the NKJV and then on my phone see how the AMP expounds on it. :)
yes yes yes! Love that!
Love your advice❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just recently discovered you and love your enthusiasm for the Word! I totally agree with you about the benefits of scripture writing. I’ve developed my own process called Bible Quilt journaling. Some of your peeps might be interested in trying a #biblequiltjournal for their scripture writing. Blessings to you!
Copywork is how I teach part of my kids writing in homeschool and I used heavily when I was going through loss and grief. I couldn’t study because my mind was everywhere so copying the Psalms was so helpful and fruitful. I’m a better writer now too because of it.
I love writing out scriptures and memorizing them and then doing some art layout, or collage to represent what your reading or memorizing. I like to also pray out loud the verses to fit them into my life, and then also try to answer them with the Word, and speaking them in faith, and believing they will happen in my circumstances.
But sometimes it's hard not to feel overwhelmed in studying. I find that whatever I've just read...I try to look up the meaning of one or more passages in commentaries and certain words that I'm not sure about the meaning... Sometimes I find a whole different meaning, that wasn't there before. Especially in the Hebrew language, it can be astonishing how words literally have totally different meanings, that can change everything in a passage.
Oh totally! I need to make a video on this because I can definitely relate!
Thank you, Faith🌹🌹🌹
Love this! 🥰🥰 thanks!
You are so welcome!
Love this.
I can attest to writing for ADHD. I write my prayers and rewrite/summarize scripture when I'm studying a book of the Bible and it really helps me focus. Sometimes spending 3 days on one verse because I asked a question that brought me down a rabbit hole😂
I would love to see a video on verse mapping.
I'll start working/planning for one!
Me too.
Me three!
Me 4
I enjoy. This so.much
Great video, well done.
Would love a video on verse mapping and how to do it
Yes, I would like to see a video on verse mapping.
I need to make one SO BAD!
Question off the topic, what do you do with all the scripture writing notebooks, study notes, and sermon notes ? One more thing, what do you do when your journaling Bible is filled up?
I have recycled many note books and journals. I can't bring myself to throwing out a Bible?
Once all is filled in my opinion u just find a space to store it like a box or such u don't throw it away sometimes it helps to go back and review some of it
I am wanting to learn to do this in 2023, l found this video at a needed time in my life.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent advice!
Yay! Hope it was helpful!
Aw tozer said the Bible should not be speed read but the word of God should be savored
Love that! And love AW Tozer!
I have really severe anxiety and also depression. I have real big problems with feeling fearful. I'm thinking of taking a composition notebook and writing down scriptures about fear, anxiety and Gods love and support. So that when I am afraid or anxious I can read it back.
Hey Faith! I’ve been struggling to like the bible I have currently. (The physical book and layout) Im wanting to transfer my scribblers of bible notes into a bible. Kinda like yours but I’m a few years behind you in notes. Haha. I can’t find one I want and I’ve searched for awhile now. Any chance you wanna do an updated “changing bibles” video in the near future ? 😅 😊
Amen!
I do this on subjects. Right now I’m doing verses on Stewardship. It does make such a difference.
Wow, I love that! What passage are you studying on stewardship?
@@HowtoFaithALife is there a way to send you a photo on here?
If not go on Pinterest you can get a whole list of verses on the subject you want to study. I want to be better with money so I decided to study stewardship. I also did one on parenting, finding a husband, and dreams. I hope this helps.😀
Can you give me more info please? I need help to spend less money 😅
I search motivating and guiding bible verses on different topics and write most of them to walk on the path of righteousness and to bring glory to my Lord God who is in heaven.🙏🏻❤️✝️🛐🙇🙌🏻👑😇
Moissanite diamonds are beautiful!
Write it on yo heart gurlll
Hahah
Thank you ..
You're welcome
I write scriptures in my prayer journal.
Haha my diamond is 7 carat but it was my grandmothers and mined in Belgian and has tons of carbon inside, so it’s way more meaningful than the size. But I’m sure I’m judged by others. 😆 my hubby got out good lol.
Who did you recommend to check out for verse mapping?
The WordNerd!
I love scripture writing. Does it matter which scripture to start with?
not at all! Though you can find plans online for free through pinterest!
I want to Scripture Journal but it overwhelms me. Like I have to make it all pretty and get all the supplies, etc. Still trying to figure out what will work best for me. Only way to find out is to try. Thank you this video, Faith 💖. Is your family in Texas still doing okay from the storm?
Yes they are doing MUCH better! Thank you for asking!!’ How are you doing? Hows your dad? I’m still praying!
Thank you so much for asking and praying! 💖 He is doing well. I'm glad your family is doing well too!
Are you meaning writing out a whole book sis.
More like specific areas of study, like a paragraph or specific verse!
@@HowtoFaithALife Oh! I was actually inspired to write out a whole book! Not Genesis... hahaha but one of the small epistles maybe =)
@@stephanievicario1192 I have written out the Psalms, Proverbs, Mark and a few others. I enjoy doing that.
👍😂like the ring point
Lol thanks! Hahaha
@@HowtoFaithALife bless you
How do you know what scripture to write
are you meaning write book by book or just the things you are doing in your bible study?
Either one! either way works! I work best by just writing what I am studying!
Do you have a list of journaling subjects?
I need a list of the different ways to study in journal.
I’m sorry, but I get lost with what you’re trying to tell me . I need to break it down and then add to it
I am considering your patreon community. Do you have many involved in the chat community?
some! We are working more at that! We did a live just now and then we will do a Zoom I think next week!
@@HowtoFaithALife thanks! I love your videos! They have been inspirational and motivating to me!
@@dmz5014 I am SO SO GLAD! That means the world to me. It makes all the late nights up editing SO worth it! Also, I just saw that you joined Patreon! Welcome!
I have a serious problem with perfectionism... I can't just do it, or am afraid I will do it wrong, study the wrong thing... this is a newish dilemma for me...
I can relate sometimes! Have you come to any realization on how to fight that perfectionism?
@@HowtoFaithALife Not really... I'm a work in progress... I used to always try and have a video or something playing, but realized that sometimes that irritates me (even if it is a study video, or something of the sort). I have come to appreciate silence, even if it is just short bits here and there. I will set my keyboard aside and just have my Bible and notebook. Again, even if it is just for a few minutes. I am trying to get it thru my head that it is OK to not finish a scripture writing plan, or to do each verse on the prescribed day. It is hard for me to get out of the "I have to start on a Monday". Or, I have to start on the first day of the month. Or, I can't do this study because I am starting in the middle of the year. Working thru ALL of that...
I have lost some Bible knowledge due to lack of documenting it.
You didn’t say the Message did you? 😱
The idea of scholars interpret differently even a little is worrysome! 😬
Hi! I just followed you on Instagram--you and your family are beautiful!!
