Overview
To be kind to yourself, remember that we’re all humans, that we’re all flawed in some way, and then act in a way that reflects that. We should be kind and compassionate to ourselves instead of yelling at ourselves when we “mess up” or things don’t go as planned.
Purpose of a Prayer Journal
Have you ever felt, after an experience of prayer or a particularly powerful “God moment,” that you’ve just got to tell someone about it? What if you could tell your future self everything about that experience? By keeping a prayer journal, you can always remember the beautiful ways God speaks to you in prayer and in your daily life. You can also tell future generations about how God has been especially faithful to you and your family. Your prayer journal is a record of what God has done in your life and a reminder of God’s love when it seems like He has stopped talking to you. Keeping a prayer journal can also be a way to pray.
Try writing a letter to God in which you tell him the truth about your fears, hopes, desires, worries, and heart’s longings. If you’re a perfectionist like me, it can be difficult not to “judge” your written prayer as you go. Try not to worry about how the words sound or spend too much time re-reading your sentences as you write. Instead, keep in mind that this letter is only for you and God, and that God is not judging what you write.
This way of keeping a prayer journal is great for people who like to write or who find it hard to focus on prayer. It can help you tell God what you want and need from him most. Seeing your prayer on paper can help you figure out what you want more clearly than just talking to God in your head. You could even try writing yourself a letter from God. You might be surprised by what God tells you when you pray in this way.
