Prayer Journal
What is a prayer journal? A prayer journal is a place to record prayer requests for you and others, and how God has answered those prayer requests. It is a way of remembering God’s activity in your life. The ultimate goal of this journal is provide you with a guide to help you whenever you take time to pray.
Why keep a prayer journal? For many of us it’s difficult to know what to prayer for. In fact, sometimes it can feel very overwhelming. However, it's amazing how much easier praying can be if you keep a journal of your prayers. It does not have to take long to write in or go through your prayer journal. You can just jot down people or situations that you need to pray for and then lift them up to God in prayer.

When we get discouraged, it helps us remember how God has always worked powerfully in and through our lives in the past (Psalm. 77:11). Prayer journaling helps us develop Spiritual H.A.B.I.T.S. that will train and mature us as Christians (1 Timothy 4:7). Prayer journaling reminds us that God does answer prayer and it increases our trust in Him (1 John 5:14-15)
How to use this prayer journal? This prayer journal is very simple to use. On each column there is a spot to record when you began praying for a request, who and what it was for (these can be personal requests or requests for others), and how and when God answered it. Whenever someone asks you to pray for them, just write it down. Then when you’re ready to pray, you will know exactly what to pray for. Continue praying for requests until they are answered. When you have received an answer, hi-light the request so you know it has been answered and can thank God for His answer.
“Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” Jeremiah 33:3
For prayer requests that do not receive an immediate answer, place them under continuing prayer requests, so you know they still need to be prayed for. There is also a section to record praises – awesome things that God is doing! Finally, take time once in a while to answer the two questions (Where have I seen God in my life recently? How have I been growing in my faith most recently?). And for permanent prayer requests (family members, friends, church) there is a spot in the back to write those down. Then as you pray through your prayer journal you will not forget to pray for those closest to you. There is also a spot in the back to write down permanent personal prayer requests (spiritual growth, patience, kindness, etc.). Praying for yourself is also very important! I guarantee that you will grow as a Christian if you keep up with this prayer journal!

George Muller (1805-1898) As a boy, George Muller was a thief and a liar, but after turning to Christ in his twenties, he opened several orphanages in England and provided for over 10,000 orphans in his lifetime – without ever asking anyone but God to supply their needs. He testified that he knew of at least 50,000 specific answers to his prayers. He kept a prayer journal very similar to the one you are holding. In the left column of the page he would write down the prayer request and the date when he began praying for it and in the right-hand column the date when it was answered and how. One specific request required years of continual prayer, but eternal rewards. He had been praying for a particular man to receive Christ for twenty-seven years. It was later learned that the man accepted Christ at Muller's funeral. George Muller would not stop praying for a prayer request...until it was answered!
