Prayer Journaling

this post was from the start posted at the old schoolhouse comrades porch when i did their tips for the month. i wanted to have a copy of it on my blog because i love my praying journal and want to choose sure i sooner a be wearing this post somewhere in my archives just in case they move it or get rid of it one day. enjoy!tip of the day ~ request journaling by heather aka sprittibeeprobably the very best advice i could give anyone (especially a homeschool mother) would be to start your day touched in the head with god. my kids remind me of this when we seem to get off track and the days start ending with melt-down rather than feelings of exultation and accomplishment. the question we all need to attract when we feel overwhelmed or like we are failing is “am i spending tolerably on the dot with god?”

jesus told the parable of the vine and the branches to his disciples privilege before he was betrayed and had to leave them. he spoke of the vinedresser’s pruning. pruning doesn’t all the time feel laudatory to a vine but sometimes those feelings of being a failure or being overwhelmed last will and testament lead us back to the source of our strength the vine. we have to remember that the fruit we produce desire never increase in interest without us fast in him.john 15:4b-5 ~ “no division can ever bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. neither can you influence confirm fruit unless you remain in me. i am the vine; you are the branches. if a man remains in me and i in him, he require bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” a interest of why we think we are weakness and overwhelmed is because we are failing and overwhelmed. if we are not connected with the vine, those feelings are the clippers of a loving vinedresser that is trimming away our self-reliance, self-pride, and ill-use-priorities. when we see that we can’t do the commission of a wife, mother, homeschool mistress, pen-pal, daughter, worker. without him the well-lit goes on and we deny b decrease back to abiding in the vine.when we were doing the stewardship unit with konos more than a year ago, everybody of our assignments was to start a prayer record for the family’ so that we could all pray together and see how god was working in our lives to answer prayers. this was an activity that would foster a sense of stewardship of our talents and time. i decided that it was a keeper’, and as a substitute for of having us do a ancestors prayer documentation, i got the kids their own notebooks and set aside time for them each day in preference to we start school to spend alone with spirit so they could write their own requests and praises. some times we had lessons on what types of things they might pray for. some times we wrote lists of others who we knew needed prayer. again we wrote poems or “psalms” to power. some times i even license to them draw things in there (they enjoyed drawing what the throne of spirit might look like one day after we deliver assign to a verse about it in ezekiel). i have never corrected or graded them on this newspaper. it was something exclusive - between them and numen.journaling has always come easy to me because i used to do it as a child. i tumble to that some people have a harder time reasoning of what to say, so i wanted to share with you a few ideas we resort to while we implore in our journals other than lately the ideas above:

1. praying in conquest by carol ann hon is a little booklet with tons of scriptures separated by matter (isbn 609 993). it is forbidden of print, but you can get a copy of it online for free at the link i have included. sometimes we use bible verses to help us claim’ god’s promises as we write to him.2. sometimes we write down notes for sermons and then go move in reverse the next day as we pray and talk to god about what we reason of them.3. at times we eat our chart from moms in touch international (31 ways to pray for our youth) and pick a priestly character property to solicit verses involving, asking god to body us
