The Prayer Log

Developing a Rhythm and Practice of Writing - Part 19

I am a person who is trying to live by faith, lead with hope and be directed by love. Some days I do pretty well but most days it is a struggle. One practice I have found to be helpful are my prayer logs at the back of my physical journals. 

It’s a simple log I start on the last page of my journal and move towards the front of the journal as they are filled. It has only three components. 

  1. The Date of the Prayer
  2. The Prayer
  3. The Date I received a response to the prayer. 

The first two components are simple but let me share what the responses have been for me. 

  1. Yes, No or Not Yet.
  2. Greater clarity on what I should be actually praying for.
  3. “Trust Me”

To be honest, this is one of the journaling practices I struggle with the most. But it is the most transformative one when I am consistent with it.


This entry is for Month-long writing challenge for our The Beautiful Future Members. Every weekday, we write and share with one another to build and strengthen our practice of writing.
