Documenting Your Prayers

What would happen if we didn’t document important information? Imagine the stories in history that would be lost or distorted. What type of information gets recorded? Typically, things considered very important—such as contracts, stories, or certificates—are documented. Many of us use social media to capture important events we want to remember each year.

Since prayer with the Father is a top priority, let us commit to writing down our prayers. I’ll wait while you grab a notebook.

Write your thoughts and prayers to God. You can list topics, needs, and people you want to remember to lift up in prayer. By writing down your requests, you'll be able to more clearly see how He has answered your prayers.

Lastly, when we meet new people, we sometimes list their names in the notes section of our devices and pray for them as we try to connect with them in the future.

Personally, I keep a list of critical prayer requests in my texts. Each day as I pray for these individuals, I send a message of encouragement until we see healing take place.

Choose what works for you. Many of you will have more creative ideas than I do.

God, Help us form new habits. Change is tough. We ask for supernatural strength to create space for You in our lives. Amen.
