These five illustrations were used in this week’s Bible Journaling Session on Monday evening at The Studio to reflect on a loose theme of ‘secure in God’. At some point, I will need to find the confidence to do the illustrations myself from scratch, but for now, I still have an image in mind and then search for it online. For this month’s templates, I have also used text-to-image AI to generate some of the graphics – this takes just as much time to tweak the prompt and generate tens of possibilities to get the image I have in mind. Overall design, text and colouring are all done by me.
The templates are available as a free PDF download via my online shop here.
Used for these examples
- NIV Journaling Bible

- Sourced images:
- Noun Project icons by popcornarts, Nur Achmadi and Weshape
- Microsoft Designer text-to-image AI generator
About the sessions
Bible journaling is a creative practice that combines Scripture study with artistic expression, allowing individuals to personalize and deepen their spiritual journey through drawings, notes, and decorations in their Bibles.
I provide templates and materials to work with in your wide-margin Bible or you may create a bookmark. Occasionally, we have an off-the-page session where you are invited to work on a larger, framed illustration. You don’t have to be artistic!
You are welcome to join the group which takes place on the second Monday of the month at 7:30pm with sessions just £5 to attend. That said, the next session is postponed to 11th November. Contact me for more details or book a place using the email link at the top right of this page.
