Introduction
If you’ve always wanted to start prayer journaling but didn’t know how, this guide is for you. Starting is simple—what matters most is your intention and your heart.
1. Choose a Journal That Inspires You
Pick a journal with a scripture-based or faith-inspired cover.
A journal that feels meaningful will motivate you to write consistently.
2. Find a Quiet Moment
You don’t need hours.
Even 5–10 minutes of peaceful reflection is enough.
Choose a time when you feel calm—morning prayer, bedtime, or after devotion.
3. Begin With Gratitude
Start by writing:
-
3 things you’re grateful for
-
Something God has done for you recently
-
A blessing you didn’t expect
Gratitude opens your heart for deeper prayer.
4. Write Your Prayers Like a Letter to God
Simply begin with:
“Dear God…”
Write your worries, hopes, needs, and thanks.
There are no rules—just honesty.
5. Add Scripture Reflections
Write a verse that speaks to you and reflect on what God is teaching you.
6. End With Praise or a Simple Amen
This keeps your journal rooted in worship and gratitude.
