Beth SpilgerPASTOR'S WIFE
I have used so many “methods” of praying and prayer journaling. All were based on established prayer guides that really only worked well for the person who designed them - their way of doing their personal prayer time. For me they were cumbersome and hard to implement.
What a wonderful change took place in my prayer life when I was introduced to this prayer organizational tool. It is based on “praying about praying.” I asked God how HE wanted me to pray and organize MY journal. It became something that works for me. It is letting God guide my praying in the categories that He wants me to use and pray in the way HE wants me to pray. I love the way Scripture is encouraged to be incorporated into praying. God has given so many prayers in the Bible. I find these perfect for praying for the needs of others and even for myself. God uses Scripture in my own life to convict, encourage, guide, etc. This journal encourages me to pray through these! I find now that I am more deliberate about praying and more consistent in my prayer life. Thank you, Ruth, for sharing what God has taught you and helping us learn to reach out to the Lord to let Him teach us. I have used so many “methods” of praying and prayer journaling.
