I started a prayer journal where I record prayer requests of my own and of other people that I know or that I’ve been told about. Sometimes once the smoke clears and time has passed, I forget how I felt when I didn’t see my way out. It’s uplifting to be able to go back and see how I’ve made it through.
Through reading some of your blogs I’ve recorded some of the requests that I know are heavy on your heart. I’m a huge believer in prayer and even more in intercessory prayer. When I was sick and at my most critical state I couldn’t pray for myself..I wasn’t even conscious, but I had people praying for me. I believe that I was covered from head to toe in prayer. Today, I’m alive to talk about it.
I look forward to when I go back through the book and highlight those prayers that have been answered. A large part of prayer is faith…God is motivated to move on our behalf according to our faith. The bible says “Without faith it is impossible to please Him” Hebrews 11:6. He delights in removing obstacles from our paths, making a way out of no way..shining a light in situations that appear dismal. I encourage you to take all things heavy or light to Him in prayer. If you desire to share a prayer request I’d be happy to record it in my prayer journal. It’s constantly in my thoughts and I send up those prayers daily. When God shows up on your behalf we can rejoice together.

Beautiful post! I have both a prayer journal and gratitude journal. You of all people know many of my struggles these past few months and I’ve found that by writing out both my prayer(s) and things that I’m still grateful for, has helped me soooooooooooo very much.
My prayer request is to keep me lifted up and to keep my faith in God and realize that He has a plan for me and that even though I’m going thru a storm, my breakthru is on the way.

I have prayer index cards and I post them on my wall in my “spiritual corner.” It’s the last thing I see at night and the first thing I see in the morning.
You totally inspired my post for the day.

This is great. I have a prayer journal as well, but I’m ashamed to say I haven’t written in it in a minute. I have a couple older ones that I have used all the pages, so I go back occasionally and read those and laugh at my old requests and how sometimes he gave me more than i asked for or imagined. Some of htem are still requests. But I’m able to always gage that he has and continues to improve my situation.
