Ways to Keep Prayer Journal





Hi Gorgeous,

When I am journaling, it helps me clarify my unorganized thoughts and successfully understand my situation deeper. To determine my priority and what is important in my life, When I share my experiences through writing, it will draw me on to a more rich, spiritual experience in God, discovering the wonderful things in life that will give me additional learning of wisdom. 

I have had my prayer journal for 4 years now, and it has been very helpful in the spiritual growth that I am benefiting from today. I want to share this with you because it may help you the way it helped me in this area of my life. Maybe there are a lot of things on your to-do list, and having a prayer journal may be time-consuming in your everyday life. That is also the same struggle that I encountered when I first started this journal, but like everything else in life, your spiritual life is also an important part of your life, and you may consider it one of the priorities in life. Because what is inside of you reflects what is outside of you. It is also part of self-improvement that will help you in other areas of your life. Having the truth in us will set us free and make us more authentic inside and out. We are not perfect, but we are striving to be a better version of ourselves every day so that it will not just benefit us but add value to other people's lives.

So here are some ways or steps to keep a prayer journal.

1. Consider your space or location, and then set a time.

Where you conduct your prayer journal is important to have more focus and less destruction to spend your time more productively in every minute and second that you dedicate to it. Place your journal in that space that you can easily see. That will remind you to do your prayer journal activity. You can also set an alarm clock and label it as "time for a prayer journal." This way, you will be reminded to do this activity.

2. Before you begin your prayer journal, say a prayer.


This is a spiritual battle that you may not be aware of. Having the time to spend time with God is challenging because during this time there will be a lot of destruction that will hinder your growth with God. Ask God to help you and prepare your heart at this moment to gain a deeper relationship with God, to have the Holy Spirit with you to guide you in the right understanding of the word of God, and that you may only hear his voice. That you may be less so that God will be greater in your life. 

3. Read and reflect on today's Gospel of God.


You have a daily verse that we can read and reflect on a given day. Ask God to send you his holy spirit to help you absorb the message of the verse so that you can learn and apply it to your daily life. That God will bless you with understanding to gain more wisdom that you can use to improve your life. It may be in your relationship, studies, work or business.

4. Have a conversation with God in a prayer that may include your prayer request.

Your God is your true friend who will listen to you wholeheartedly without judgement. He is a humble friend, despite his holiness and greatness. He humbles Himself to be with you on our good and bad days. He understands that you are not perfect, that you make mistakes and fail in life despite doing your best, but he is always there to love you all. He is pleased with every effort that you put into learning and doing your best in life. Your intention is genuine and pure in your growth within to add more value to your family, friends, acquaintances, and other people within your circle.

5. Acknowledge the Lord's work in your life.

Every day, you may not know it, but God is working for you. You just need to pause and reflect on the work of God in your life today. Maybe some prayers were answered today that you may have overlooked. There were blessings in every moment that answered your prayers, or miracles that were beyond your control that was happening today.


Thank you for reading and God bless you all

Nutrition and foods to consume while breastfeeding your child

Hi, You have a beautiful baby there. That little human you have is the best blessing you have right now. I know that you really love your baby and you want to give him the best. You want to provide and give a better life than you have ever experienced in the coming days in this world.  One of the greatest investments that you can make right now that will benefit your baby is to start the right nutrition early to see your baby healthy, that is, away from harmful disease. Since your baby will solely depend on your milk for breastmilk for the first 6 months, your nutrition will greatly influence the nutrition of your baby. Your body produces milk and the composition depends on your diet. For example, the fat ( fatty acids) content of your milk depends on your current diet as well as the milk concentrations of selenium, iodine, and some of the water-soluble B vitamins. Your baby is growing fast, and it needs enough nutrients to support it. The breast milk that comes from you is very im...

8 Practical Ways to Love Yourself

Part of self-improvement is learning to love yourself properly. I've shared in my previous blog regarding my journey of self-improvement. Those experiences led me to this area of my life that I want to improve. I've researched, read books, articles, journals, and watched videos related to this area of interest that I want to improve in. That simple step is a life changer. It helps me in my progress. I just want to share my humble learning that might help you. All the information that I gathered in that article, books, and audiobooks was really helpful, but the core heart of self-love I found in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4–8. Love is kind and patient; it does not envy or boast, and it is not arrogant or rude.It does not insist on its way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. Love bears everything, believes everything, hopes everything, and endures everything.Love never ends. As I read this verse over and over again, it...
