Spiritual Spots: Prayer & Prayer Journaling

This is the third in a series of posts on “Spiritual Spots” the series starts here.  The last post was on Reading God’s Word.  Today’s post will cover prayer and prayer journaling.

Prayer is our way of communicating with God.  If you’re a Christian and have a “relationship” with God it is essential in order to grow that relationship to pray.  Prayer is our life line to God.  As my children learned in Vacation Bible School this summer you can pray anytime, anywhere and about anything.  Prayer is a privilege and something that we should WANT to do.

In our busy lives it is important that we set aside time daily to pray or talk to God.  Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated.  I know as a teenager that I spent the first few moments before school while still sitting in my vehicle to pray.  Usually, I would turn up my favorite praise and worship CD and spend that time in prayer and praise to God.  Prayer after all should involve not just listing our requests to God but also spending time praising him.

Using a prayer journal can also be a great way to spend time in prayer and will help you to “focus” that time that you have no matter how small.  You can list your prayer concerns, the ways that you can praise God and even intercede for others.  Writing in a prayer journal can help you to also look back in the future and see how God has answered your prayers.
