How to Use Your Prayer Journal Scripture: Ask God to reveal a scripture to pray or select one from your Bible Reading. Write it out here. Praise: This sec on of prayer me is all about God. Begin your prayer me by praising God for who He is. Pray scripture back to Him which is giving Him praise and honor—Psalm is a good source for these scriptures. Acknowledge the ways you have seen God working in your life or in the lives of others.
For Others: This next sec on of prayer me is devoted to others. Keep a list of names and their needs, update God in your prayer me. Pe on God on behalf of your friends and family just as if you were talking to a friend for them. This type of prayer is called intercessory prayer—you are interceding with God on their behalf.
For Me: This me with God, talk to Him about your personal needs. Physical, spiritual, emo onal, anything. Open up, ve honest, He knows your heart anyway. Talk to Him about your day, your rela onships, your challenges, your hopes, your everything. Prayer isn’t about withdrawing from God like an ATM, but rather building a rela onship.
Thanksgiving: Lastly, close out your prayer me with thanksgiving. Everything is from God, so acknowledge Him for all He has provided. Large and small, physical and spiritual, everything comes from Him.
