The High Way Journal, By Kelly Kirstein, is a guided journal that helps you build faith in Jesus. This post offers one slide per day with simple questions to help you complete each page of part 3. Get closer to God one verse at a time.

Invite Holy Spirit to join you. Ask him to fill you with knowledge and understanding from Heaven.
Why do you think so many people struggle to believe that God created the world?
Write or Draw what you think the Earth looked like as God created it.
Genesis 1:6 tells us God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. What does that tell you about the power of God's words?

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Day 2: Journal Pg. 23

Invite Holy Spirit to join you. Ask him to fill you with knowledge and understanding from Heaven.

What areas of your life do you have the hardest time receiving God's mercy?

For the Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.

Day 5: Journal Pg. 26

Invite Holy Spirit into the areas of you life that you have the hardest time receiving God's mercy.
List the qualities of God that are described in this verse. Recall that John 3:16 tells us that God sent his only Son to save us.
