Welcome to the Faith Building Club introduction, where we will explore how to seamlessly integrate faith into your everyday life. In Matthew 18, 20, we hear Jesus saying For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am among them. Hi, I'm Paula, your host, and I am so delighted to be on this journey with you and Jesus. Today, we will be diving into the essentials of the faith-building resources created to guide and empower you on a daily basis. Whether you're new to the Christian faith or looking to deepen your walk with the Lord, these resources are here to support you every step of the way. So let's start by talking about mornings. There's something profoundly transformative about beginning your day with intention. Using one of our printable prayer journals can truly set a positive tone. Of course, you know you can use them digitally too, if you like, but take a moment each morning to immerse yourself in gratitude and reflection by selecting prompts from your chosen journal designed to center your mind and spirit and open your heart to God's divine guidance for that day. First, thessalonians 5, 16-18 says Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. One way to do that is to keep the Lord top of mind throughout the day and with that thought, consider adding a midday devotional to your daily routine. It's a simple yet profound way to keep your faith alive throughout the day. Use the devotional journal of your choice to read a short scripture passage and reflect on its relevance in your life. These midday moments of quiet reflection can bring clarity and purpose for the rest of your day and, as night falls, end your day with a peaceful practice of contemplation. Engage with the one-year Bible reading plan or use prompts from one of the monthly scripture calendars. This will help you wind down, creating a serene transition into a restful night's sleep. Jesus says you are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house In the same way. Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven, looking for a way to share with others. Dive into a one-session Bible lesson each week. This structured approach of study and reflection will enrich your understanding, and sharing these insights with a small group or mentor can not only enhance your evangelism skills but also strengthen your ties within your faith community.

Remember this journey and how you share with others is uniquely yours. There's no right or wrong way to practice your faith, only the way that resonates most with you. Personalize your journey experience, whether it's writing down your own prayers or drawing inspiration from prayer journal prompts. These practices will nurture a deeper relationship with the Lord. And those bookmarks don't overlook those small yet powerful tools. Give them away to someone who needs to hear of God's love and, of course, use them yourself to anchor key scriptures within your Bible or other daily reads. They're perfect reminders of God's enduring promises and presence with us. Also, utilize those social media posts to spread the good news.
