Here's how to get started and make the most of every page.

1. Make it Your Sacred Space

Start by claiming this journal as your own. You’ve already personalized it with your name and favorite Bible verse—now it’s time to make it a part of your daily routine. Choose a time that works best for you—morning quiet time, a peaceful moment before bed, or even during a midday break. Keep your journal somewhere you’ll see it often, so it becomes a natural part of your day.

2. Begin with a Prayer

Each time you open your prayer journal, begin by centering your heart. Take a deep breath and say a simple prayer: “Dear God, thank you for this moment with You.” There’s no right or wrong way to pray—just be honest. This journal is your safe space to pour out your thoughts, hopes, worries, and praises.

3. Write What’s on Your Heart

Use the lined pages to speak freely. You can write traditional prayers, letters to God, or just let your thoughts flow. Some days, you might write pages and pages. Other times, a single line is enough. The key is consistency—just show up and write.

Here are a few journaling prompts and ideas for your prayer journal:

• Gratitude: Start by listing things you're thankful for.
• Requests: Write out your prayers for yourself and others.
• Reflection: Note anything that stood out in your Bible reading or a sermon.
• Praise: Celebrate how God has answered prayers or shown up in your life.

4. Use Your Favorite Bible Verse for Inspiration

Since your prayer journal includes a personal Bible verse, consider using it as a grounding point. Reflect on its meaning, how it applies to your life right now, or what it teaches you about God’s promises. You can also pick new verses as you go—write them in the margins or as headings for each entry.

5. Let the Ribbon Marker Be Your Companion

The satin ribbon marker is there to help you pick up where you left off. Some people use their prayer journal daily, others weekly. The rhythm is up to you. What matters is that this is your time to connect—no pressure, just presence.

6. Look Back and See God’s Hand

Over time, your journal becomes a beautiful record of your spiritual journey. Flip back through old entries to see how your prayers have evolved, which ones were answered, and how your faith has grown. It’s a powerful reminder that God is always working, even in the waiting.

What Are Prayer Requests?

Prayer requests are a powerful way to invite God—and others—into your life’s joys, struggles, and everything in between. They are simply the things on your heart that you want to lift up in prayer. These could be for yourself, your loved ones, your community, or even the world.

Writing down your prayer requests in your Dear God Prayer Journal is a beautiful way to release your worries, express your hopes, and trust God with the outcomes. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to carry everything on your head on your own.

You might include requests for strength during a difficult time, healing for someone who is sick, wisdom for a big decision, or peace in a challenging situation. No matter how big or small, God cares about it all.

As time passes, you can look back on your entries and see how God has worked in your life. Some prayers may be answered clearly, others in ways you didn’t expect—but each request marks a moment of faith and connection.

So take a quiet moment, open your journal, pray and write your heart out. God is listening.

How to Reflect on Scripture

Reflecting on scripture is about slowing down and letting God’s Word speak to your heart. Start by reading a verse or passage slowly. Then, ask yourself: What is God saying to me through this? Write down any thoughts, emotions, or questions that come up. Consider how the message applies to your life right now. You can also turn the verse into a personal prayer. Don’t rush—scripture reflection is a peaceful, ongoing conversation with God. With time, you’ll begin to see new meaning and deeper insight through each verse you read.
