One of my daily journals is a Prayer Journal. I used to include prayers in my regular journal but would forget some, or omit that part for whatever reason. I credit Beth Moore’s “Align: 31 Days of Prayer” for really kickstarting this habit. I am learning to turn to God first and speak with God just as I would speak to my best friend. It hasn’t been easy.
I’m using The Everyday Prayer Map Journal for Women currently. I stumbled upon this at Sam’s Club and it really works for me. I am a writer, so I knew I needed something to guide my thoughts through a pen.
Each day I am guided to reflect on the day and what I need from God. Inside the front cover, I keep an ongoing list of prayer concerns. If someone has asked me for prayers, I make sure to record it here as read through the list again every day. I’ve also added a section to note when I feel there has been a direct answer.
I am not in control.
