Welcome, friend. There is no right or wrong way to use this worksheet, and nothing here needs to be done perfectly. You can fill it in on the screen, print it out, or simply read along and let it stir something quiet inside. Go slowly. Skip anything that does not fit today. This is a soft space for honesty, not a test to pass.
Why naming what we feel matters
You cannot tend what you will not name. So often we move through our days carrying feelings we have never paused to notice, and they grow heavy in the dark. Naming a feeling is not the same as fixing it. It is simply turning toward your own heart with kindness and saying, here you are, I see you.
God welcomes your honest heart. The Psalms are full of people pouring out fear, anger, grief, and longing without tidying themselves up first. Jesus himself felt deeply and was unafraid of it. Your emotions are signals woven into you by design, not sins to hide. This worksheet is not about getting anywhere. It is just about noticing, gently, what is true for you right now.
1. Notice what you are feeling
Read slowly through these words. Check any that ring true for you today. You can choose one, or several, or none. There is no wrong answer.
2. Sit with it gently
Take your time with these. Write as little or as much as you like, and let your words be unedited and true.
What am I feeling right now?
Where do I notice it in my body?
What might this feeling be telling me or asking for?
What do I need in this moment?
What would it look like to bring this honestly to God?
A gentle closing
However you feel as you finish, you have done something brave simply by turning toward your own heart. You do not have to resolve anything today. Naming what is true is enough, and you can carry it, just as it is, to the One who already sees it all and stays near.
Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8
