# Get Journal

`GET /api/journal`

Fetch the combined Journal screen payload for the authenticated user
(gratitudes, prayer journals and saved Bible verses) in a single call.

Backed by the `get_journal_bundle(p_user_id uuid)` Postgres function which
returns everything plus `latest_change` in a single round-trip. Freshness is
managed client-side via per-source stale signals; the server holds no cache.

## Headers

- `x-user-id` string, nullable
