As I discussed before, my ‘word’ for the year is FOCUS. I am seeking ways to focus on myself, my life, my home, finances, family. I want to focus on my bible study and prayer.
One way that helps me to focus better is by making lists. So I have started a prayer journal.
I spend time with the Lord writing to him. Keeps my focus on Him (i am easily distracted). I can also see his blessing come and answered prayers and be reminded to thank Him.
I have journaled for years. In fact, it was journal entries that created my current Knit and Crochet Bible Studies.
I don’t save my journals. I usually destroy them after a period of time. After all, these are private thoughts, between me and God. I pour out my heart. No one else needs to see them.
Do you have a prayer journal? Do you journal at all? Do you, like me, destroy your journals, or do you keep them? I’d love to hear your thoughts if you would be willing to share them.
I’ve journaled in the past, but got away from it. I need to break out a new journal and get busy. Thank you for reminding me.
I would like to start a prayer journal. You are right, life can be so distracting sometimes. We have to work at being focused. I want to focus on Abba Father first, and foremost and then He will help me sort everything else out like family and finances.
