Prayer Journal
I recently decided to start a notebook to help me through my days, especially at school when I get frustrated and feel like I have nowhere else to turn. Right now I have a five-subject notebook that I plan on working on tonight to get started for tomorrow. I want to divide my notebook accordingly to focus on different spiritual areas. I was thinking to have one section for verses, one for prayer and maybe one for reflection.
Does anyone have any suggestions about sections or just keeping up a prayer journal in general?

I agree that any journal should be free-flowing and not structured. You may have to let go of your need to control and manage everything in order to do this...maybe this is part of your learning. Bless you on your journey.

Well first off a prayer journal is just that..a prayer journal. You don't have to keep it organized because you want to be able to jump right in and start writing. One thing I do in my prayer journal is write questions. For instance I was keeping one when I found out that my friend Jamie passed away. My question was WHY? Why did God take him from me? Etc. Then later, once I'd calmed down a bit, I went searching for the answers. I found bible verses that made me feel better and used those to 'answer' my question. So maybe you could do as you said and have one for prayer, one for verses, and one for reflection, and then you could also have one for your questions/answers. Leave one open for venting. People often feel uncomfortable 'venting' to god, so put that in your last section, therefore it isn't in your actual prayer section. Use that section until you calm down a bit, then you can use your prayer section to ask for guidance, to express thanks for helping you find your solution, etc. I hope I helped a little. Good luck babe! <3 Leslie

I keep a prayer journal some days.
But others I just vent in my journal *regular journal*, and sometimes to my boyfriend.
But maybe try your sections that you have, and use the rest for doodling... maybe? :]
