How to Prayer Journal Freebie

Check out my YouTube video HERE for a look at the free printable, as well as some fun idea on how to use it.

I have been going through a prayer journaling series on my YouTube channel. Have you watched and joined us yet?

• Episode 1 was all about how prayer journaling changed my life
• Episode 2 was all about 5 reasons why you should prayer journal
• Episode 3 was all about my favorite prayer journaling supplies

I thought after talking about prayer journaling for the past few weeks that it would be a great time today to show HOW exactly to prayer journal. In the free printable that you’ll find at the end of this blog post you will see a list of steps and some sentence starters for helping you begin prayer journaling.

How to Prayer Journal:

All you need to prayer journal is a notebook and pen. 

Then, I love to decorate my prayer journal pages. This is sort of an extra, bonus step, but I think it helps us to prepare our hearts for a time of prayer. Plus, it makes prayer time even more fun when you get to use cute stamps, washi tape, printables and more.

Then, you simply write out your prayer exactly like how you would pray to God in your head.  You just do it on paper.  I have a printable kit in my Etsy shop called “Printable Prayer Phrases,” that you can get HERE to help you with prayer journaling.

Dear Heavenly Father (or whatever other name you like to call God.  I use God Almighty, Prince of Peace, and Lord.  Click HERE to read an article about different names for God.)
Thank You for…
Today was hard because…
Forgive me for…
Help me with…
I lift … to You today.

And I always end my prayers with, “In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.”

Don’t forget to date your prayers!  At the back of my prayer journal I also like to have a spot for answered prayers.  It is a great way to look back on all the times God has been faithful.
