Prayer Tip #5-Write it Down!

I will stand at my watchpost,
and station myself on the rampart;
I will keep watch to see what he will say to me,
and what he will answer concerning my complaint.
Then the Lord answered me and said:
Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so that a runner may read it.
Habakkuk 2:1-2

As we are learning to hear God's voice in prayer, another vital step to take is to write it down! I honestly did not learn this until last year, but starting a prayer journal is so beneficial to your prayer life. It can even be seen as a checks and balance system for my more practical thinkers out there. It gives you the ability to write your prayers, thoughts and concerns as well as the response that begins to flow to you. You can then go back and reflect on how God answered those prayers. A prayer journal can consist of words as well as pictures or descriptions. Regardless of what you put in your journal, what's important is the communication you're having with the Father.

Key points:

1. Journal your prayers daily

2. Write your declarations, decrees, and visions

3. Be specific

4. Meditate on those things that have been written

5. Reflect on answered prayers, regardless of the result, and give thanks.

Don't delay! Today is a great day to start your journal!!!

Peace and Blessings,
