But during the "So That" study with Wendy Blight someone mentioned that they kept a weekly calendar, that they prayed by...I adapted it a bit to my needs, but I am using it to keep my prayers focused and not just on me.
- Sundays~I pray for Friends
- Mondays~I pray for Work
- Tuesdays~I pray Praising God
- Wednesdays~I pray for Bible studies that I am participating in, and friends in the study
- Thursdays~I pray for Ministry
- Fridays~I pray for Nation; City
- Saturdays~I pray for Family
Not a bad system and it seems to be working, except for one small thing. I have so few real life friends that I could use some more friends to pray for on Sundays. If you would like me to pray for you, please leave me a comment. If you have specific requests, let me know that as well. I'm not as good at praying as some but I am trying to learn and write powerful prayers. I probably will not write the prayers in the comments section...but rest assured that I will pray for you.
Post where I learned about Prayer Journals
I am really working on my prayer life as well! I found a ton of books at the library, Paperbackswap, and Amazon that I hope will help me in my prayer life. I have started a prayer journal. It is just a notebook I got at walmart. I have found that writing my prayers keeps me focused! And I love writing! I don't have it separated by days of the week though. Do you keep a list of who you are praying for specifically, and do you just have a notebook you are using to write your prayers?
ReplyDeleteI would really appreciate if you would pray for me! I am leading another Good Morning Girls group for this next Luke study. My group is really growing. I may split it into two groups. Please pray for God to give me what I need to help these ladies be successful in this study!
Thank you Annabell. I do have a prayer journal, but haven't been faithful in writing in it lately, and hope to get better about it this year. I use a simple loose leaf notebook to write my prayers in. I also keep a list of people that I am praying for.
ReplyDeleteDeanna,
ReplyDeleteMy Bible study teacher had a prayer calendar very similar to this. It worked very well for her. I think this will be very helpful, keeps things from becoming overwhelming.
You can pray for me -- I am struggling with church...issues with my church specifically. Please pray for God's intervention here. Thank you, dear one!
Pam,
DeleteI recently went through my own issues concerning church and I know how hard that can be. I will be praying for you.
