I’d heard about prayer journaling, have you? I was toying with the idea of buying one of those beautiful, ready-made journals when I realized I should try a little experiment. Simple things have always seemed to work best for me, so I got an inexpensive spiral notebook and I started writing down my prayers every morning. You may be asking yourself why a prayer journal, well sometimes when I sit down and write my thoughts and my prayers, big and small and months later I go back and reread them. Even weeks later I find that God has either answered shown me why he hasn’t answered or help me to understand exactly what it is that I was needing in that moment.Many times throughout the day or especially in the morning when I get up, I find myself not necessarily praying, but corresponding with God talking to him about my day, my worries, my thoughts, my health, the health and well being of a loved one. All the things that all of us ponder in our minds were really just talking to God. In ways that is some of our prayer language, we don’t have to always be on our knees with our eyes close in our head bowed when talking to God yes, I do get on my knees. I do bow my head at times but I also just talked to God like he’s right here in the room with me because he is his spirit is everywhere I go . So if you haven’t tried just a spiral notebook for a prayer journal, you can buy one at your dollar store for a dollar give it a try for one month and go back each week and read what you have written for the day and see how God is talking to you through your prayer journal, and your prayer language with God you might be surprised
