Prayer Journal – wondergracejoy.com

Kate Bowman of Lonestar Southern talked about prayer journaling on her insta-reels back in 2020. She talked about how she has looked back on different seasons of life and seen what prayers she was praying and how eventually her prayers were answered.

She spoke so passionately about it and at the time I was floundering during the pandemic. This really hit home for me and I said to myself, ‘why not try this? Maybe it will help me get out of my head’ That was in April 2020. Having somewhere to put my thoughts and fears and worries could be helpful. I didn’t have anything to lose.

The idea of having a specific place to write your prayers down or to write down what’s heavy on your heart is comforting.

Looking back over these older entries,it’s brilliant to see how things improved, changed and eventually got better. You can see my prayers being answered and what gratitude I hold for those answered prayers.

When I write in my prayer journal, it’s a informal note. It’s a written conversation between me and God asking for guidance, clarity, peace or something specific. Sometimes my entries are short, sometimes they are long. Whatever it takes to get thr worries out of my heart and on to the page.

I don’t use my prayer journal daily, I use it when I feel a pull to write it in. Sometimes weeks or months go by but I always come back to it.

I wanted my prayer journal to be a special notebook that I looked forward to writing in. I had bought this journal years ago at TJ Maxx. I wanted to use it for something special and this, a prayer journal, is the perfect occasion.

Do you pray? Do you use a prayer journal?
