Prayer Journal

Keep a prayer card or journal beside your bed. Before you pray contemplate on what it is that you need to pray about. Write the date and what it is you are specifically praying for at that time. Leave a couple lines between each concern. There are some things that you will always pray for and there is not specifically an answer. Just write the things that hoping to recieve an answer for or help with. Continue to take down notes as more concerns come throughout time. When a prayer is answered or unanswered(and you see the reasoning behind it) write it down next to the original concern with the date. It is testimony building to see how prayers are answered and also fun to look back and see the different events and concerns going on your life. This would also be good to do for family prayer to help your children to see the power of prayer and be more aware of the things we should pray for.
