Prayer Journaling

Prayer is extremely important in the life of a believer, but sometimes our thoughts are all over the place and it can be hard to focus. So, writing your prayers is a wonderful way to keep on track and remember what you are praying about. I have been writing my prayers for years, and it has been very neat to see where I started and how I have grown in the Lord. You can start by getting any type of notebook you would like. Then begin to write down what is in your heart. You can for anything... your family, friends, your country, even your church. The Word inspires me often when I journal. Different scriptures will speak to me, and I just talk to God about them. Nobody will have the same kind of journal, but the goal is about communicating with God. And a major part of prayer is also listening. Once you write your prayers always take a moment to be quiet, or even pause while you are journaling. The Word of God will speak to you, like the Word has to me! Through prayer journaling you can see progress in your spiritual life. You can see all the times your prayers were answered, or even that God had different plans. You will see your walk with God get deeper as you get into the Word and pray, which is why journaling is a great tool that you can begin using in prayer today!
