Prayer Journaling



What are you praying for right now and who are you praying for?

Do you journal about these things?

What does God say to you about each? Do you write that in your journal as well?

What have you said to God? Have you wrote that in your journal?

What prayers have been answered in full or partially answered? Do you prayer journal about them?

What has God done in your life today, this week, this month, and so on? Do you journal about that?

Do you journal with God as the audience--as your reader?

Journaling is a spiritual practice and discipline. If you open your heart to the Lord every time you journal, you commune with him, draw near to him, seek his face, and listen far more than you talk in your journal. Then,w rite everything he tells you and places on your heart. This makes journaling something very sacred. You will find no problem journaling hours a day.

Read the Bible, journal about it.

Do Bible study, journal about it.

Every other thing listed on this blog in the past, today, and in the future, turn into prayer journaling to God. God cares about the finer and more minute details in our lives--just as much as the big stuff. Prayer journal about everything.

Every time you go to journal, pray to him. Turn your journaling into prayer. This transforms your journal into something even more powerful, amazing, and life transforming. It means you cannot help but be centered on him all day long--and it helps you pray without ceasing.

  1. Life is very complex. I pray and pray and journal my thoughts, feelings and I know that the only one that knows what I journal is God and because of Him, I am so blessed.
