It helps me remember the things I've prayed about, record the answers to those prayers/things I've learned, and also list Scriptures that jump out to me also...<br /><br />Neat post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291951073853426272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-53187385844631767672009-04-22T21:18:00.000-04:002009-04-22T21:18:00.000-04:00I think you've mentioned LPJ before or otherwise I...I think you've mentioned LPJ before or otherwise I read about it on another blog. Anyway, I asked for it for Christmas and my MIL had my name. I was so excited to see that she got me LPJ cd for Christmas. It's been a great way to pray with my kids and a great place to keep our missionary letters. That way we can remember their specific needs.<br /><br />Thanks again for this great reminder of such a wonderful resource!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978036026066329022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-66324584085480001432009-04-22T21:16:00.000-04:002009-04-22T21:16:00.000-04:00I love this idea, it is so beautiful!

It is a 3 ring binder, and I have it divided up for the days of the week. Each division has certain pages as well. i.e. Missionary Monday..each missionary has their own page with prayer requests and answers. I also date when I write them and their replies back. Tuesday I named The List and it is basically any list I could think of :-) pregnant women, college students, high school kids, marriages, servicemen and women. Wednesday is for those who are Weak (illnesses, sympathy etc.) Thursday is Thankful...dated and thanks to the Lord for many blessings (personal). Friday is Friends...each one has a page with requests or my own prayers for them. Saturday is Sermon...all the pastors or preachers that I know and finally Sunday is for Salvation (self-explanatory) plus the saints from my home church. It has worked well for me, but I LOVE the idea of incorporating pictures and scrapping! Thanks Monica and Jen! p.s. I am an empty nester, but if I put in pictures, I can envision showing my grandchildren some pages when they get older!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-58318737823424270172009-04-22T15:19:00.000-04:002009-04-22T15:19:00.000-04:00I love the idea of prayer journaling as well..I ha...I love the idea of prayer journaling as well..I have been struggling at being consistent in praying for others as well. I don't have the want or the extra time to do the scrapbooking part of it, but I simply write down names of who I need to pray for and what I need to be praying for each person...it's nice because as you move throughout the year you can see answered prayers and God's amazing grace to answering our requests according to His will. I was doing this for quite a while and because of life let it slip out of mind...I will have to start up again after being inspired from your post....Thanks Monica for the honesty of struggling and then inspiring us all to do something about it :)The Gaertegang Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595108954971787013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-77719119469473313762009-04-22T13:56:00.000-04:002009-04-22T13:56:00.000-04:00I like this idea, and I think that my kids would e...I like this idea, and I think that my kids would enjoy it.

Also, I pray more continuously throughout the day rather than a set time. Like say I hear a song that reminds me of a particular family, then I pray for them then.<br />Neat idea!!<br />EliseElisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669663704444452161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-34520443471808325042009-04-22T10:54:00.000-04:002009-04-22T10:54:00.000-04:00Hi, love this idea.

For example, the Lord's Prayer, I feel is biblical, Jesus taught it, so I want my kids to say it daily. After they pray in a more personal way. I agree that when they pray by rote, it is less personal. But at least they are praying. It's better than video games . :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-36144537702170890562009-04-22T10:34:00.000-04:002009-04-22T10:34:00.000-04:00I used to have a prayer journal when I was single ...I used to have a prayer journal when I was single and in college, I have since slipped away from using it. I remember being much more consistent in my prayer time while I was journaling. This is a great idea now that I am married and have a family.

I adapted that idea a bit and this is what I came up with.<br /><br />http://basketmasterweavings.blogspot.com/2009/02/crafty-tuesday-peanut-basket-turned.html<br /><br />It is a peanut basket where one side is for the peanuts and the other for the shells, but it turned into a wonderful prayer basket that we keep on our table. The family adds to it as needed and at dinner time we pull out the cards to pray for those in need.<br />Blessings,<br />Nancy<br />www.basketmasterweavings.blogspot.comNancy at EmbroideryIt.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462544567484306363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-90877690145158906212009-04-22T08:12:00.000-04:002009-04-22T08:12:00.000-04:00I love this idea, Monica!

It is a pet peave of mine and my husbands that my children have learned from other places the song prayers. Any prayer prayed in repetition day after day will likely lose it's meaning. We've been trying to teach our girls to pray from their hearts rather than their memory. <br /><br />This journal would be a great way to remember things besides our immediate family and our 2 dogs each day!DairyQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058172123527404278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-83330427552361675302009-04-22T07:44:00.001-04:002009-04-22T07:44:00.001-04:00Thanks for sharing this.

It was something that had been on my heart and when you posted about it, i just loved it. Since then I've struggled w/creating it & using it. I just couldn't seem to find something that worked. Thanks so much for these tips. I feel encouraged. :) <br />~One thing I've worked on recently is- i took a small 4x6 photo album and took pics. of all my oldest friends, church teachers, etc. and we put it together. He is 4 and has been praying for sometime telling God about his day & how everything made him feel & praising Him. So I felt it was time to go to the "next level" in his personal prayer time. He loves looking @ all the pics. Most of them is him w/the person so he really likes it. It seems to help his 4 year old mind to not wonder by using the small album. ~<br />Sorry so long. I love prayer & ideas about prayer. :)Bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00460346124898467129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-10271823302553851492009-04-22T07:44:00.000-04:002009-04-22T07:44:00.000-04:00I love this and while I can't afford to buy one ri...I love this and while I can't afford to buy one right now I'm going to try to do something like this for our own family.
