Thanks for the information. I use the notes feature in my Outlook email program. I spend a lot of time at work and I open a note in the morning and thoughout the day I add to my notes what is going on throughout my day, I add what I eat daily and all my prayers as well. I’ve been doing this for about a year now and it really helps me and when I look back to see how God has been working in my life it brings such joy to me. God Bless!!

The method you describe has been my style for a few years now. I have been teaching a series on prayer to five other women recently and wanted to help them organize a prayer journal..of course, I like this style but wanted to read up about it on the internet. Your site just confirmed that I am to show and tell them how to start a prayer journal like mine..to the Glory of God!

Bless You for clear communication and willingness to help others.

Thanks so much for the information. In the past I have made various attempts at prayer journaling. I am ready to more sincere and dedicated effort into it. Your thoughts really bring out the trueness of communion with God.

God speaks to me thru others, when I am willing to listen.

I’m currently teaching a class on prayer and next Wednesday night (not this week), I’ll be teaching on prayer journals and how to keep one. Thanks for the suggestions and thoughts!! I keep one myself, but I know not everyone will want to follow my personal pattern. Keep up the good work and God bless you in your faith.

Thank you for showing me how to do this. I’ve always had trouble with prayer and keeping track of prayer requests, and with a prayer chain and group at my church this is something I needed. May others fing wisdom in this as I have.

In the name of Christ,

I will be teaching a 7th grd girls class tomorrow (sub) and have been researching for a while on prayer journaling. This is something that I’ve done for years and I also use the black composition books. I have always expressed myself more deeply in writing than in spoken words. It has been a humbling experience, a joy to see prayers answered and a burden for those whom I love and know are w/o Christ. I can see how God is using the journaling of my prayers over the years. Thank you for your information and helpful tips to teach others. May the Lord continue to bless you in your ministry!

I love looking back through my written prayers and journal entries to see how much God has grown me, especially during college, which was like a huge explosion of growth! While doing research for a book, I talked with a lady who said prayer journaling helped to keep her prayers real, since she really had to think about what she wrote down (as opposed to rambling, like I tend to do when praying in the early morning before a cup of coffee!).

I never thought about the “have a picture” of the person you pray for idea before. I’m expecting a baby and am told that she might have some chromosome problems. I have her ultra sound and I’m going to start a new journal just for her and then one for my 2 year old and then one for my husband. I really love the idea. Thank you.

This was very helpful. I have journaled semi-consistently for my entire life and was saved last year and found it natural to keep a prayer journal. Since I finished my first, it is gone and my faith has been sort of hidden and crushed for a while. However…I was looking for some organizational staying power to keep consistent as I feel it is time to come back again. Thanks for your helpful article.
