  Prayer
Journal
A
resource for moms and kids
created
by
Barb
Shelton
I have
made something for myself called a "Prayer Journal"! It hit me
that others may be interested in too!
Who's
it for? ... It's for moms, teens and even younger-aged kids ~ anyone who
can write, actually! I made it to help me organize my prayer life
better.
This booklet is small and thin enough to fit inside most Bibles and daily planners ~ unless they're
very small. It's 5-1/2" X 8-1/2" ~ the size of one sheet of paper folded in half. It has several sections for various areas of prayer concern, like these: an "Ongoing Prayer Request List"; "Family and Friends"; "Body of Christ" (ministries, church, mission(arie)s, etc.); "I'm Thankful For"; a page for "Personal Stuff"; "Government/Leadership"; room to put verses to pray over people and favorite verses; several pages for
journaling, and I have also included my "Commune
With Me" Guide.
It has *some* "cross-over" with the "Mom's Focus Affixer"
that I made up a few years ago, but is in a totally different, smaller format. The frustrating thing about that was the size and the fact that it was a 3-ring notebook. This is small and thin enough to be able to fit in with my daily planner and/or Bible. One less thing to pack around!
The booklet comes with a blank cover that you can decorate yourself with/in whatever decorating media you happen to enjoy, be it colored pencil, chalk, stamping, stickers (they have some beautiful ones at craft stores!), or whatever else you can think of!
I have gotten into rubber stamping, so I had a BALL decorating mine!
I stamped the corners of all the pages INside too! If you aren't into anything,
then let your child decorate it, or just use it plain!
The blank Prayer Journal comes with an "Ideas and Notes" page to help you get the most out of the booklet and it all comes inside a same-size zip-lock plastic bag, which you can keep it in for extra protection and adding your own notes and goodies. (Probably not
donuts ~ too thick; flat fruit leather, maybe?
Oh yeah; that's not what I meant by "goodies"!)

About the
Cover *~
This
first picture below (of mine!) is smaller so you can see the whole
general layout; the one below that is HUGE so that you can see the
design more clearly, if indeed that is something you would like to do.
The
quilt and heart decorations ~ the border around the words "Prayer
Journal" and the four corners ~ are all stamps from
Stampin' Up!
(So they aren't real buttons.
They started out as black stamped imprints ~ which I stamped and then
colored (all by my very own self) with colored pencils! (This is
so FUN! I'm reviving a childhood delight!)
As
for the title... I did the words "Prayer Journal" on my
computer and printed that out, then stamped my border around it, then
colored-in the quilt, then cut that out, then glued that
onto a piece of black paper which I then cut out with
squiggly-edged scissors leaving a black rim around the outside edge of
the quilt. (The booklet comes with the words "Prayer
Journal" on the cover. Plus I include a few other options you
can copy from my directions and cut out.)
