What’s A Prayer Journal?
Writing down your prayers is a great way to make your requests known to God, and keep track of which ones He answers. Prayer journals help you do this in an organized way.
Writing all of your prayers in one place allows you to keep track of everything the Lord is doing in your life.
Prayer journals can come with prompts to help guide your prayers or even grow you in their faith. They can vary from being focused on just prayer, include scripture, blessings, and even include a vision board.
