Mindful Renewal: Thinking in Step with the Spirit

View Whole Series on One Page


Renewal begins in the mind. Galatians 5:25 reminds us, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” When our thoughts are in sync with the Spirit, our choices, attitudes, and even emotions begin to reflect His nature. This journaling set will help you slow down, notice your mental patterns, and bring them into alignment with God’s ways—so your thought life becomes a living testimony of His presence and guidance.



Recognizing Spirit-Led Thoughts

  • How do I know when a thought is Spirit-led versus self-driven?

  • Which thoughts today carried the fruit of the Spirit?

  • When have I felt prompted to act kindly because of a Spirit-led thought?

Releasing Distractions and Lies

  • What current distraction is pulling me out of step with the Spirit?

  • Which subtle lie has been influencing my decisions lately?

  • How does releasing mental clutter make more room for God’s truth?

Daily Practices of Alignment

  • What morning routine helps set my mind on the Spirit?

  • How can I pause more often throughout the day to listen for God’s leading?

  • What specific Scripture helps me “reset” my thinking mid-day?

Responding in Obedience

  • When was the last time I followed the Spirit’s prompting immediately?

  • What thought has God been nudging me to act on, but I’ve delayed?

  • How can I respond without overthinking when I sense God’s direction?

Prayer and Surrender

  • What does it look like to pray before I think through a problem?

  • Where do I need to surrender my reasoning to God’s higher wisdom?

  • Write a short prayer asking God to attune your thoughts to His voice.
