Anyone keep a prayer journal.
When someone asks me to pray for them or someone else, I like to jot it down with the date in my journal. I also list my own prayer requests there.
My favourite thing to do is go back and write in the answer to the prayer. God always answers!

We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.

yep, I have one. Not only do I journal prayer requests, but also thoughts and inspirational quotes. Somedays I list my blessings re my senses..I may write: What I am hearing (the birds chattering outside my window....what I am seeing (a clean desk), what I am smelling: cinnamon potpourri, etc.
I also use it as a place to vent. Then I ask God for wisdom and forgiveness for being so upset and letting my emotions rule me.......
It helps me alot.

I haven't felt like that for a long time. Maybe I am very blessed.

Journaling is a wonderful way to note our feelings, blessings and other things. I have many journals I have started over the years. Sometimes is just helps to write your feelings down on paper.

I actually bought a Christian Family Planner from Amanda's preschool this year. I take it everywhere with me. There are monthly calendars, and a weekly view - which has a place for prayer requests and praises. It also has a menu planner and grocery list for each week.
I love being able to have all my "stuff" in one spot and since I carry it everywhere I can write down prayer requests easily.

That's a great idea, Cheryl. I would like to have something like that. I always have lists stuffed here and there.
Yes, BR, you must be very blessed indeed. I find writing out my frustrations and then praying for Godly wisdom in how to handle it, brings great comfort to me.
