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

KNOWING WHAT WE CHOOSE EVERYDAY (Self or God)

I read the devotional regarding Choosing each day :( Self or God) As a reflected on this plan it takes me back to how I spent my time this morning. As I open my eyes and saw a little light coming from our small window. Stretching my body, I felt alive. Reaching out to my bedsheet to fix my bed. I step out and walk to the kitchen and drink 1 glass of water, get my unwashed clothes and put it in the washing machine. Going inside the living area and went to the room and lock it and started my morning prayer. The intention is there to have a conversation, build,  grow my relation to God but I know that I felt distracted while praying. I thank God for the gift of life, asking forgiveness and asking for guidance, protection, clarification. It is good to observe myself that most of my morning I spend it with God, to make him my top priority to build relationships in him, and yes I have some days that I forget to do my morning prayers when I'm so overwhelmed by the things that ...

How to Build Healthy Relationship within yourself?

Hi gorgeous, Do you have a special relationship right now? I hope your immediate response is to yourself. In all of your relationships, what is most important is what you have within yourself. Acceptance of your strengths and weaknesses is your core power to be able to go on in life with full confidence and courage. You may recognize it or not, but how you see yourself reflects on your relationship with people that may be your family, friends, partner, or community. It is a life journey that you need to face every single day of your life. The challenge is how you handle it every single time it comes to you. This may be easy for some of you who have a good environment and people around you, but for those who do not, may you have the courage to be aware when it comes and face it and handle it with a pro. I have experiences that shape my thinking of who I am in the way that I was raised as a child, which gives me a hard time seeing myself in a good way. My environment and the people aroun...

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...
