Wendy, I got stuck on ''oh it has to be pretty for me to use it'' and ''it has to be expensive to work'' you took that right out of my vocabulary I am going to use lined notebook and a stapler and put it in a folder (to use what I have ) The whole point is to have the relationship with Christ and talk to Him, our ''tools'' dont have to be pretty... Love you
I love the simplicity of the prayer journal/notebook. It can be as creative or as simple as you want. The most important thing is that it keeps you accountable to actually pray for who you said you'd pray for. Thanks for the tip!
Not a coincidence but Spirit led, I got a small notebook out just yesterday to start a prayer journal, my plan was to write down any prayer request I seen on my Fb feed or in person, by evening I had a chicken scratch page that wasn’t bringing me comfort or sense to me to pray. This is an encouragement He knew I needed thank you Wendy. ☕️
I also love reading my Bibles I have a world Bible school study edition Bible and a catholic life Bible and a children Bible as well and a mini kjv mini bible can I write in them with a BIC Round Stic M pen or a regular pencil ✏️
Wow. This was amazing! Thank you for sharing! God is so faithful and amazing. I needed to hear this. I’m saved but broken and fighting the enemy everyday. Seems like he is trying so much harder on me just knowing I’m struggling. But our God is so much stronger than the enemy and will win! I just need to keep my eyes on the Lord.
Thank you for sharing the story at the end of this video. My husband and I have that kind of person in our lives, he has broken many long-term relationships. He is having a very hard time letting go of the situation because the man was a friend and my husband and I were loyal to him. We have been praying for him and his family ever since, very much in the same way as you did in your situation. So it was very encouraging to hear we are on the right track. I may never know the outcome but I can trust and count on God to do what is best for everyone involved.
I been watching all your videos just latey. I havent had much sleep I get maybe 3 to 4 hours anight sometimes. God lead me to open my phone up, here a few days ago in the middle of the night and for the first time you popped up, I listened and got answers to my prayer on bible study. I said all this to say thank you ,for doing what you do. God knows what we need. You are a blessing. God richly bless you and your ministry
Everyone please pray for the devil to be removed from me forever & to never come back. It would mean the world to me if the devil is removed from me forever!!
I will pray for you and encourage you to remember that God is in charge and sometimes use the devil to make you stronger and to have you lean into God more. We will never be free of temptation until we reach heaven. Also I suggest you read and ponder when Jesus was led into the desert to be tempted. How did he defeat the devil?
Thank you so much!!!!! I found your channel not to long ago and this particular teaching you have was inspirational. I have a supervisor that all of a sudden started to behave very hurtful to me. You reminded me of what I need and know to do in prayer. Thank you so much. You are a great encouragement. ❤
Thank you for sharing. I use composition notebooks as my prayer journals, also. I need to listen for the Holy Spirit. I’m sure this will make a world of difference. May the Lord bless you.
This is a wonderful video. Thank you. It is very hard for me to pray for people that have wronged me. I get so irritated, but I will start doing this and push myself towards what Jesus wants me to do in prayer.
Your video appeared today,on the very day The Lord led me to begin daily specifically writing my prayers.i immediately was in love with your journals,so fat and full of post it's! The Lord knows my love of all things composition notebooks,I was struggling,where to write them,and it's an answer to my prayer,to write them daily,even if it's the same .I also understand about the writing it out,and then praying, another question I had for Him today.for ,it's when I pray from my heart,that The Holy Spirit will speak and lead and guide my prayers.this video was so helpful,and just want I needed,thank you❤
Wendy, thanks again for sharing your heart, your personal experiences and such a practical application to our prayer life. I was getting overwhelmed and getting lost in making this much more complicated than it needed to be. Your video beautifully put together all the pieces I felt led to include in my own journal, but just wasn't sure how to implement it all. Thank you for also being open about listening to the Holy Spirit and learning to discern His voice. I've been searching for an online prayer group that holds virtual meetings outside of FB or IG (taking time away from social media right now). Anyone have any suggestions?
Ours is not a "prayer" group persay, but you may want to check out The Kitchen Table page that I have linked in the description box below the video. This is my online group for daily posts, encouragements, videos, bible study offerings etc...
This is powerful! I have felt convicted in my lack of meaningful prayer lately. Like the hymn says, it is a privilege to carry everything to the Lord in prayer - and yet, how often do we do so? It's a privilege I've woefully neglected. I wonder if I'll get to heaven and find myself thinking, "Kathy, how many situations in your life or someone else's cold have been impacted if you'd just gone to Him in prayer? Why did you waste that wonderful gift of communing with Him?" I am going to avail myself of that wonderful privilege from here on out. I intend to begin with your prayer journal idea. Thank you for this video. I am so thankful to have found your channel this year, and I feel truly blessed that I will study with you beginning in March. God bless you.
Excellent strategy for prayer. Love the 2 color of pens idea......the Spirit does add requests that we know nothing about but I never actually thought of it that way until now. As always thank you, thank you!!!
I have a world bible school study edition journaling bible can I write in it with a BIC Round Stic M pen or with a pencil senting you lots of love and happiness and prayers for you and you're family ❤😊
Thank you so much for this, Wendy - you are a true prayer warrior❤ I am so grateful for your wise counsel and all of the wonderful help that you share with us! Please don't forget to write your OWN name in blue pen along with your loved ones 😊 I pray to be shown and given service opportunities, to be salt and light to others, to be a godly wife, mother, mother in-law, and grandmother, and to continue to gain a better understanding of the Scriptures, etc. 😘😘😘
Very good. I so enjoyed this. I have a question…you said you use only one book each year, how do you get all those requests for 365 days in that book that only has 180pages,or so??? Also you mentioned you did it on Monday yet you said your family names were there daily???
I feel like I should not pray for my unsaved family (I don't mean to not pray for their salvation but for their peace, etc) I feel this because I think if everything is okay in their lives how would they know more that they need a Savior?
Love this idea and want to try it. I have a small 3 ring binder but I have to keep changing out and adding pages. Apologies I cannot remember, does one notebook last all year. Is this method for once a week or do you use a page every day and that would require multiple a year since most have less than 120 pages
Oh they are a myriad of things... notes to myself, things that I want to remember about something I feel like God spoke to me about, scripture references for things I am praying... all different kinds of things.
Well, that's true! Jesus says in Mark 4:23 and Matthew 11:15 "He who has ears to hear let him hear" We do speak a lot and don't listen to what the Holy Spirit says. Amen!
Please don't think I'm being critical, I have a learning disability so considering my issue, the numerous stories do not help me they cause me to deflect after the first story explaining using the red pen. So I got that but I got confused as to why you kept telling similar stories and I was waiting for.....the next step but it didn't come. Or did I miss it? Red pen write name and request then listen with blue pen and that's all you do? I like to spend time in prayer praising and giving thanks, confessing, my spiritual growth needs. I also like to pray the Scriptures especially Psalms. One would be surprised that just reading a Psalm slowly as you consider each word meditatively people just come to mind. I did like the two different color pens and it gave me the idea of using a third color for answered prayer all on the same page. Thanks
Don't be so like always negative in your Prayers, tried that everytime that you are telling your feelings to God tried to do it with this attitude of like God I trust you and I know you can help me, , without being so negative, but be honest❤
Wendy, I got stuck on ''oh it has to be pretty for me to use it'' and ''it has to be expensive to work'' you took that right out of my vocabulary I am going to use lined notebook and a stapler and put it in a folder (to use what I have ) The whole point is to have the relationship with Christ and talk to Him, our ''tools'' dont have to be pretty... Love you
You are precious! Thank you for this video. Can we get a tutorial on how you fix your hair like that? It's so cute
This is very encouraging thank you for sharing your process of how to pray effectively.
The Swanson extremely interesting perspective on prayer journals or war binders. Thank you.
I love the simplicity of the prayer journal/notebook. It can be as creative or as simple as you want. The most important thing is that it keeps you accountable to actually pray for who you said you'd pray for. Thanks for the tip!

Linda - what a BLESSING this sweet message was to me this morning!
Everyone please pray for the devil to be removed from me forever & to never come back. It would mean the world to me if the devil is removed from me forever!!
Why do you think bad things were attracted to you? Ask a priest or pastor to pray for you and put on the Armour of God daily. Blessings😊
I will pray for you and encourage you to remember that God is in charge and sometimes use the devil to make you stronger and to have you lean into God more. We will never be free of temptation until we reach heaven. Also I suggest you read and ponder when Jesus was led into the desert to be tempted. How did he defeat the devil?
Thank you for this video, it helped me so much to pray for others, family, neighbors, friends. Blessings to you !!

Remind me… do I have you on Facebook? And are you on the Kitchen Table page and do I have you on the group fb page for the class??
This was wonderful Wendy! Thank you for the encouragement 🤍
❤️❤️❤️
Ive been wanting to start a prayer journal and ta-da! Here you are!! Thank you❤
Thank you so much Wendy for sharing this!! I can't wait to get started on mine.
Thank you for sharing. I feel like my prayer journal process is growing stale so I'm looking for new ideas.
Can you show us the creative news of your journals?
Excellent strategy for prayer. Love the 2 color of pens idea......the Spirit does add requests that we know nothing about but I never actually thought of it that way until now. As always thank you, thank you!!!
This was amazing
I am giving this a HUGE 👍 and a ❤
I am so inspired by the testimonies of how prayer really works.
Glory to God!!! I’m so glad you are here!
Wow! Power teaching and words. I am convicted and encouraged. I have become so lax in my prayer life. Prayer coverings are so crucial
:)
Great video. Thank you.
Love your videos!!!!❤
Thank you so much!!
Good Video!
I have a world bible school study edition journaling bible can I write in it with a BIC Round Stic M pen or with a pencil senting you lots of love and happiness and prayers for you and you're family ❤😊

Thanks for sharing. But share how you do your hair.
Than you for sharing is there anyway you can show us the inside of your journals ?
Very good. I so enjoyed this. I have a question…you said you use only one book each year, how do you get all those requests for 365 days in that book that only has 180pages,or so??? Also you mentioned you did it on Monday yet you said your family names were there daily???
You can follow how to faith a life, she post how to have a healthy prayer journal live❤
Hi Wendy, do we need to pray the prayers aloud after writing them, in order for it to be effective?
I feel like I should not pray for my unsaved family (I don't mean to not pray for their salvation but for their peace, etc) I feel this because I think if everything is okay in their lives how would they know more that they need a Savior?
Do we have to pray the prayers aloud after writing them down, in order for it to be effective?
What is all of your sticky notes and tabs on your prayer journal?
@@loricarroll3662 all kinds of things. Answered prayers, words in studying, things I’m praying in a specific season, etc…
Love this idea and want to try it. I have a small 3 ring binder but I have to keep changing out and adding pages. Apologies I cannot remember, does one notebook last all year. Is this method for once a week or do you use a page every day and that would require multiple a year since most have less than 120 pages
I just use them until I need another one. I try not to complicate it, as I feel like that would deter me from the real meaning for the process.
Another question what are those extra papers sticking out of your books?
Oh they are a myriad of things... notes to myself, things that I want to remember about something I feel like God spoke to me about, scripture references for things I am praying... all different kinds of things.
What is the title of the book by Ann that you mentioned?
One Thousand Gifts.
@@inspireministries thank you. I'm thankful you stepped away from Beth Moore books and such.
Well, that's true! Jesus says in Mark 4:23 and Matthew 11:15 "He who has ears to hear let him hear"
We do speak a lot and don't listen to what the Holy Spirit says. Amen!
Please don't think I'm being critical, I have a learning disability so considering my issue, the numerous stories do not help me they cause me to deflect after the first story explaining using the red pen.

She writes down what the Holy Spirit prompts her to pray for that person.
Don't be so like always negative in your Prayers, tried that everytime that you are telling your feelings to God tried to do it with this attitude of like God I trust you and I know you can help me, , without being so negative, but be honest❤
Hi what is your Facebook group page? Thanks!
