 Introduction
The creation of this Prayer Journey Journal is to show the importance of a personal relationship with
our Heavenly Father and our Lord and Savior, Jesus. Prayer is the ‘key’ ingredient to this relationship and
has two (2) parts: Our communication (praying) and listening for His answers.
Introduction
The purpose of this journal is:
to build our faith (trust) in God through the Prayer Journey.

Each week begins with a section to record what and for whom you are praying. Each week ends with
a section to record God’s answers. Nothing encourages us more than seeing answers to our prayers.
This serves as a reminder that God is working in your life and that He is there leading and directing you.
You may also record answers to others’ prayers. Remember to record the ‘wait’ and ‘no’ answers too.
After a few weeks in this journal, you will be able to flip back through the weeks and see how and when
God answered your prayers. You will be amazed how many answers you will see! God knows what is best
for your life.

Faith is holding on to the faithfulness of God—Faith does not focus on the difficulties or the one who
is causing the difficulties. Faith looks at God. The measure of the strength of a man’s faith is ultimately
the measure of his knowledge of God . . . He knows God so well that he can rest in Him.
It is the prayers of such a man that are answered. (see Mark 11:20–26)

Prayer Journey Theme

•Reflections on the Past
•To live in the Present
•While looking forward to the Future

This Journal is Divided into Three (3) Sections:

•Past—17 weeks
•Present—18 weeks
•Future—17 weeks

Several weeks have been devoted to each section, for a total of 52 weeks. Each week will have a scripture
verse, quote or thought. Most of the thoughts prompt you to see the Lord from a fresh perspective. This
is also meant to show the importance of reading God’s Word, which increases our knowledge of God and,
in turn, strengthens our relationship with Him.

“The Bible is God’s prescription for the health of our soul.

Set time aside to absorb its ‘life-giving’ message.”
 The Past
The past helps us to reflect.
What has God taught you? Are you growing in your relationship with God?
Why does God allow us to experience the “fire of life?” (See Job 3)
Thanks to Job, we know that God can use it all for good. (Romans 8:28)
Only God can transform a sin-stained soul into a masterpiece of grace. (2 Cor.5:17)

In wisdom, reflect and learn from your past.

Wise people don’t just admit wrongs; they strive to avoid a ‘repeat’ performance.

Are you thankful for God’s grace, love and forgiveness?

The Present
Reading God’s Word helps us to learn more about God and to grow in our relationship
with Him. It also shows us ‘how to live’ our lives.

In this present time, obedience should become a more important part of life with each day. Keep your heart in tune
with God’s wisdom and obey His voice—that’s the way to finish well!

The Bible is a mirror that reflects how God sees us. The failures of others in God’s Word should
cause us to be more aware of our own weaknesses and need for the grace of our Lord.

We can do whatever God wants us to do IF we depend on His power to do it.

To hear Gods voice, turn down the world’s volume. In the stillness, wait for the Lord to speak.
As your heart is hushed, listen in expectancy.

The Future
The future symbolizes God’s hope, peace, and beauty for those who belong to Him.

You don’t need to see the way, if you follow the One who is the way. (Hebrews 11:8)

This trust in God, this faith, is the foundation under everything that makes life worth living.
“It’s our handle on what we can’t see.” (Hebrews 11:1) The Message Bible.

Prayer: How grateful we are, Father, for Your work in our lives; for not giving up on us.
Thank You for each new sunrise, for hopes, dreams, laughter, and especially for Your Grace.

(Eph 2:1–10) wraps this up best. Paul tells about our salvation by God’s grace, showing:
What we were in the PAST (vs. 1–3)
What we are in the PRESENT (vs. 4–6)
What we will be in the FUTURE (vs. 7–10)

God’s forgiveness is for each one of us—but it must be accepted.
When we recall all that God is to us and all that He has done for us—
Praise is the overflow of a joyful heart. (Psalm. 98:4)

A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
