Why I keep a prayer journal

Most of the words I share on this site began as a few lines in a notebook, usually early in the morning before the house woke up.

Journaling taught me to slow down long enough to notice what the Lord was saying — and, months later, to look back and see how faithfully He spoke.

How I do it

1. Write the date and a verse I’m sitting with.
2. Write what’s on my heart, honestly.
3. Ask Him a simple question, and write the first thing that comes, without editing.
4. Weigh it later, against Scripture and with people I trust.

You don’t need a special notebook or a perfect routine. You need a pen, a few quiet minutes and a heart that expects Him to speak.
