Hello "withoutyou" I have my prayer journals from years. I would buy journals and fill them up with prayers. What I did was purchase a journal book. I like the ones that has a scripture on each page as it gives me a scripture to study. I just write whats on my heart to the Lord. I am thanking him, praising him, lifting people up, praying for the lost. Whatever is on my mind that day, I write. Much like the thread I do here occasionally called "Lord, today I am thankful for..." Either in the front or back of my journals, I create a list of prayer request, write the date of each request. If I have another request sometime down the line, I go back and write it on the list and the date. And as God answers my prayers, I check it off, write "thank You Jesus" beside the answered prayer and the date the request was answered. This increases faith, it encourages you, teaches you to wait on the Lord and not loose hope. As God answers your prayers, you will see some will be answered soon while others take longer. I had a request on my list that took almost 10yrs before God answered. I know that seems like a long time and it was to me but when it came it was right on time. God does not forget our request. We only need to learn to wait on the Lord. I haven't started one lately but I think I will again. I was going through so many journals that I started doing them on my computer. I created a folder and named it "My Prayer Journals" and saved them right in that folder.
