The other day I came across the suggestion of keeping a prayer journal. I have to admit that I haven't done so in the past. However, the thought of such an activity did pique my interest. Here is how I believe such an activity might be helpful.
1. You can put in writing what you are praying for in order to help articulate your thoughts (writing works toward clarity).
2. You can notice any kind of prayer patterns that are taking place in your life.
3. You can check off any of the prayers that you feel have been answered in some way.
4. You can pray through writing!
I believe, above all, that such an activity helps us to see not only that our prayers are important but also that we can notice where God is breaking into our lives.
