"Open the eyes of my heart, Lord.
Open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see you,
I want to see you."
"Behold our God,
seated on His throne,
Come, let us adore Him."
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
Look full in His wonderful face.
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
in the light of His glory and grace."
This year we are intentionally looking for God...looking AT God, using the book He left for us for this very purpose. Many of our favorite songs and hymns, like the ones above, encourage us to spend quality time gazing at the Creator who made us, the Savior who redeems us, and the Helper who intercedes for us. Why?
When we don't spend time gazing at our God, we become distracted with lesser things. As beings who were made to worship, we will quickly turn our eyes (and therefore, our worship) towards these other things & people who were never meant to be worshipped. Let's repent and refocus - and invite others to do so alongside us!
Our lives - and our perspectives - will absolutely change for the better when we pay close attention to the One who matters most! 💗
Whether we're seeking God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), or God the Spirit (Holy Spirit), each month's theme will draw our awareness to the beauty, holiness, wisdom, power, and majesty (and much more!) that is the triune Godhead.

*special monthly introductions
*2 pages of journaling questions per month (which we'll discuss on The Ruffled Mango Scripture Writing Podcast starting in January 2026; this year's theme will encompass seasons 3 & 4)
*a set of themed monthly prayer prompts
These monthly materials have been made into a workbook that can be downloaded & printed before you begin this study. {These are the same Bible study tools found in our Behold Our God Scripture Writing Journal.} This workbook is receiving its finishing touches now and will be available for download here on November 3, 2025.
As a special BONUS, you will also receive 12 coordinating smartphone wallpapers (which will be added in early December 2025). 😄 These are wonderful for memorization and also to help immerse yourself in each monthly theme.
Want to use these materials for a group? There's a special group rate below! It grants you license to print & distribute these Bible study tools to your group however you see fit.
Your Instructor
Welcome! Our Christian lifestyle blog - www.theruffledmango.com - was launched in the summer of 2015, to fill a niche of speaking the truth in love. We want to encourage women to identify what the Bible really says, and then confidently step into their God-given roles, glorifying Him as we pass through this life. Our site has slowly evolved, with the feedback from our precious readers, to offering much more Bible study materials, such as our monthly scripture writing plans (offered for free on the blog). We also have created several physical products, such as our Faith Planner, scripture writing calendar, greeting cards, and printables (which you can find in our Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheRuffledMango) The five of us also enjoy creating online Bible studies, which are all housed here in our Teachable school.
