Hi all,

Some of you may already do this, but I was speaking to my Mum on the phone a few minutes ago (yes - very late lol, is nearly Midnight here atm) and she was telling me about a lady she met who writes a "prayer journal". Basically what she does is keep a journal of everything she prays about as if she were writing it to God and he was reading it as she wrote (ie, "Lord, I'm really having trouble with ____ at the moment. What they said has hurt me deeply and I need your help....." or "Just wanted to thank you Lord for helping me handle that hard situation today"). She then "listens" both while she's writing and after she's finishes writing her prayer in case she gets an answer, and then writes this down (for example, her prayer in blue pen, and God's response in red pen).

I am seriously considering doing this myself as it makes praying seem so much more personal and so much less formal, and thought I'd tell you guys about it in case any of you wanted to do it too.

Cheers,

Pia
