Important Disclaimers
Not a Substitute for Professional Support
Grace Journal is a personal reflection tool designed to help you remember and rehearse God's goodness in your life. It is not intended to replace the role of professional counsellors, licensed therapists, pastors, or other qualified professionals. If you are experiencing a crisis, emotional distress, or need spiritual guidance, we encourage you to seek support from a trusted pastor, counsellor, or mental health professional.
AI-Powered Features
Grace Journal uses AI to suggest relevant Bible verses and connect your testimonies with challenges. While we strive for accuracy, AI can sometimes get things wrong — verse references, text, or relevance explanations may occasionally be inaccurate or incomplete. We encourage you to always verify suggested Scripture with a trusted Bible translation and to use your own discernment.
