I was asked how my prayer journal/binder is set up, here is a detailed video.

Reminder: Keep it workable! This is not to lead to condemnation or feelings of failure, however it is a commitment. If you can only commit to praying like this a few times a week, that is better than nothing at all! It does get easier with practice. The hardest part is setting up the prayer binder to what best suits your needs.

Sections:

1) Daily for 2.5 minutes minimum
*Praise/Adoration
*Praying in the Spirit
*Silence/Listening
*Self-reflection and confession - Daily review of past 24 hrs (time on this is flexible as needed, explained in the video)


ME:
2) Daily and Rotating Subsections. 2.5 minute time frames.
Rotate one subsection per day, use paperclip to track which subsection to pray that day.
*My Life in Christ
*Relationships
*Work/Art
*Health and Healing
*Emotions and Character
*Misc Prayer Requests

3) Immediate Family - Daily
* General Prayer for all family members, approximately 2.5 minutes:
*true salvation
*Protection
*Health
*Emotions
*Favor
*Wisdom and knowledge
*Relying on God
*Godly self-image
*Character and intregity
*Goals and dreams
*Relationships

**Daily: Subsection for each family member listing specific prayer needs for that person. No set time frame.


4) Daily. 2.5 minute time frame.
*Dire Situations, illnesses and emergencies: ongoing list of people need to be held up in prayer every day.
Paperclip stays on the tab for this section as a reminder to pray every day.

Daily rotating Section:
Sections that I rotate praying for daily. Paperclip used to track which section to pray for that day. 2.5 minute time frame
If there are immediate needs, those are listed in the Dire Situations section.
