Prayer Journal part 2

I spent a good long time this morning looking for articles about prayer journaling. I found some real gems...
Here are some of the things I found that were inspiring...

I found the PRAY! magazine website. Although this magazine has been discontinued, they still have some of the archived issues online. You can search for different topics. :-)

Keep a running list of thank you notes to God

Keep a section for prayer techniques
- pray for suffering people when I hear a siren
- set an alarm and pray X times a day
- pray while I dust or exercise
- prayer postures list and where they are found in Scriptures - try a different posture

People from David to A.W. Tozer INVESTED TIME to write out personal prayers...consider them your own personal psalms

Meditate on Bible passages about prayer or copy Bible prayers into your journal to pray for people.
Eph 3:20 comes to mind

Talk to God about your prayer life

Here are some journalling questions to be used from time to time...see if keeping a prayer journal changes your spiritual life and prayer life.

  • Reflect on the impact prayer has made on your spiritual life.
  • How has God used prayer in your life?
  • How has prayer deepened your walk with God?


Consider your prayer journal entries as a kind of "Stones of remembrance"
Look back on your weekly and monthly entries to write down answers to prayer
Look back to see how God has been leading you and teaching you.
Look back to look forward.

And a quote to leave you with today :-)

"When God says no, He's saying yes to something better."
