Faith
The book of Psalms has stood the test of time over thousands of years for good reason. It beautifully depicts everything that Scripture has to offer believers. A book of poems, songs, prayer and prophecy, it contains some of the deepest expressions of raw emotion, pain, hopelessness and despair, and yet also the highest expressions of wonder, praise and thankfulness.

You can listen to them on your computer, mobile devices like smartphones or tablets or even a smart TV. For seniors of faith, podcasts that delve into spiritual or Biblical topics may be of interest.

At Bethesda Senior Living Communities, we like to take every possible opportunity to encourage our residents to deepen their relationship with God and grow in their faith. Keeping a faith journal is an excellent way to promote your own daily union with Christ. Perhaps you’ve never been much of a diary or journal keeper, and that’s okay! Keeping a faith journal should never be a strict, regimented or detached daily routine that you feel obligated to do. Reporting the ups and downs and comings and goings of your day is not the purpose of a faith journal (unless that’s something you want to include). Rather, it’s a tangible, safe place where you can workshop your walk with the Lord and record the lessons you learn from him as you learn them. Here’s a closer look at why you should have a faith journal and how to create and keep one.
Whether you’re exploring options for yourself or someone you love, our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you feel confident about what comes next. Fill out the form and a Bethesda team member will reach out shortly to help you find the right fit for you or your loved one.
