yes please! I actually went and checked out your channel after you first commented, because my hair is so dry all the time and I really have been neglecting it! But, mine is more of a 2C/ 3A(when I take care of it)
@@HowtoFaithALife awww thank you for checking out my content sis. Have you ever tried an oil treatment before washing followed by a Deep Conditioner with a tsp honey ? I think it would work so well for you. Always here if you need any hair advice. xo
I have been a saved Christian for a long time now but you have no idea how much I needed to hear everything you said about not worrying about “doing it wrong” and messing it up. I have recently started a read through the Bible plan and I have missed days worrying about this so thank you so much!! I am now going to spend time with God and read the Bible without worrying about messing it up.
I strugged with that, too. So what I did was divide my reading time to twice a day. Mornings I would start in the Old Testament in two places. Evening I would start in a gospel and then Paul's letters and read thru. If I miss a day, I don't have the date from a plan glaring me in the face and just do my best. On bad days it doesn't get done. On good days I accomplish twice as much, so it evens out. I don't get real specific in my prayer journal though. My husband has gotten into my journals and called me on the carpet for stuff that wasn't his business. God bless.
I started journaling in 2021, which was the year my dad’s health declined. He passed away in December of 2021 from kidney/liver failure. I continued to journal to help me through my grief and still do it to this day. I never thought about making my journal into a prayer journal. I always assumed I needed to keep it separate. I love the all-in-one idea, thank you for sharing! Also, I love your prayer journal idea for your children! I didn’t journal when my boys were babies. Would it be too late to make them a journal (ages 9 & 7)? Lol New subscriber, here! Now I’m going to be binge watching all of your videos🩷 God Bless!
Thank you Faith, i kind of started this but then i think satan tried to sway me a bit. And i prayed about it last night and found this video today. My awesome Brother inlaw got me a prayer journal for Christmas and i haven't transfered my prayers into it cos of fear of making mistakes... Thank you for your video. Im starting now... 😍
I have been watching so many of your videos, and commented on one before this. You replied and I thought it was so sweet! But anywho, I am so thankful to have come across this video. I saw a newer one from this year and was wanting to ask for an explanation of what a prayer journal is. I think this video, along with a few others, has helped me paint a better picture. I have tried to create a journey with Jesus and God a few other times, but have always struggled with prayer. It feels awkward and weird, but I try and try each time. I’m going to let the idea of a prayer journal sit on my heart for awhile and decide if that’s something I want to do. I love Jesus and believe in him, I just want to feel him and be a better person for him. Having you and your videos has already made such an impact on me, I can’t wait to see what else is in store for us!
I really love the envelope idea to totally surrender and move on! Thank you so much for your honest videos and advices for true worshippers. I always love all of them. ❤️
Girl, I was so blessed with this video. The Lord knows so perfectly how to give us precious gifts. Thank you Jesus for this blessed sister you just gave me!
I ‘ve been doing prayer journaling for a couple of years and it’s just that, I just write what comes in my mind and share with God. Like you said, I have had moments where I was afraid of being totally clear cause I was afraid someone might read it, but now I scribble everything. It’s helpful when you look back and it’s freeing knowing you offloaded everything.
I completely adore every word in this video, you have knowledge about the Bible..I have always wanted to start a prayer journal..you just gave me valuable info..I have a journal..and yes, Faith it is NOT about how pretty it is, it’s your conversation with God. Sitting writing this comment, I will be going home in a week or so Hudson Valley, NY, I have to close some doors, and move on..I am a mature lady, probably almost old enough to be your Grandmother..but something’s are still on the surface of being hurt..so when I go home, I will leave happy foot prints where I have closed doors for my complete happiness…🙏🙏🌞🌞🤗🤗💕💕
Thank you for what you said at the beginning..it hits me so hard. I've been wanting to scripture write and prayer journal for months BUT I have to get the right "things"..supplies, pens, journals, etc. It is driving me crazy. Deep down I know all I need is a pen and piece of paper yet I strive so hard inside because it has to be perfect. I can't say I understand why I do this but thank you for putting that i your video. I love all your videos...I always learn and you may things so clear. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you!
I've never prayer journalled so this is helpful. When you were saying about Satan distracting us by wanting it to be perfect etc. I thought I keep getting that about praying so it was a lightbulb moment. I had been using my Celtic daily prayer book and some other prayers each evening. Today I felt tired from cleaning all day because I'm unwell. I just didn't feel like following the formulaic prayers. So I thought that I can't pray then because I wouldn't be doing it right. I have OCD too so I'm a perfectionist. I didn't realise that things like that could be Satan disuading me. Luckily I lighted some candles and just went for it!
Loved the leave it at the cross envelope. Brilliant. Thank you for your honesty. I needed to hear what you said about journaling not being perfect and bringing everything back to God's glory. Love you and and love God 🙏 😊
I loved the 'Leave it at the cross' envelope idea. I made one myself and put it in my prayer folder. I wrote a prayer on the actual envlope for God to do His will for what was in it. Anyway I just thought it was a really wonderful idea!
Kia Ora Faith (Hello). Since I have found your channel I have been encouraged to pick up my craft again and soldier through. I had been through such a terrible spiritual war for the last couple of months.. I was like a fish out of water. That being said... I have been trying to get back on track with Jesus - well myself really - and watching a couple of videos you have encouraged me to continue in my personal quest to finish my Christian Journals AND my walk with Jesus. Thank you ever so much. Your journals have given me idea's on how to make different ones, different layouts and different styles but all in one. I shall post you once I have completed my journal. Thank you and I love your videos. Bless you always ♥
You r darling- I was just looking thru u-tube and urs pop up and the Good Lord nudge me to take a look- soo glad I did- so many things you gave me to think about- this is awesome- I know was the Good Lord that crossed our paths- and for that I will praise Him- thank you-
Christ is preeminent in ALL things!! My grocery list belongs here!! Eekkkkk I love this!! Faith yes!!! Funny u said your prayer journal and Bible Journaling have entertained bc my video was kinda Bible/prayer journaling today lol they were feeling very much one in this video :) I feel the TH-cam video prayers lol ( I LIKE THE SHARING!!) Love the dollar treeeeee :-) Who can beat $1.00 I love your emphasis on the fact that it doesn’t need to be perfect!! Bc I love crafting but I’m not great at drawing at alll!! I love the reading a Psalm idea and actually applying this info not just watching these and doing nothing with it ya know ❤️ Anywho thx for the collab my sweet friend!!!! Love ur Channel you rock!! ~Amanda
I really love your videos and this one especially is so wonderful ❤ how you make it sound so easy and simple to just do and that you don't have to make it fancy or anything but just make it you
I love this! I love hearing people talk about their prayer journals because so often they realize God's hand in their lives where they didn't see it at that time and it's so wonderful and exciting!
I know why I love your vids....it's like having my youngest son home without all drama. All the crazy sayings make me giggle. Thank you. You are far further on your walk with the Lord than I am, and I suspect I've got two decades on you. No one guided me through this stuff at any point, and I'm loving all the guidance on praying and studying that I've needed for a long time.
I want to thank you so much for this video. I write letters to God but have been overthinking putting them in my bigger book I have set up for my faith journey. I needed to hear this today. 🙌
Love love love this!!! You inspire me in every way! I’m going back and watching all your videos! I’m a huge scrapbooker so this type of Bible journaling and prayer journaling speaks to my heart❤
Tried that when you are being honest with God tried to not all the time renege or be negative with God, tried to most of the time when you tell your feelings have this attitude of trusting that he can help you❤
Thank you for this video. I am going to start really journaling this year 2021. My first 'diary' was from my sister when we were in high school in the 1960's. After graduation I re reread it and it was mostly about the guy I had a crush on. I burned it and didnt journal again until 2017. I have tried and tried but always felt it wasn't good enough.I don't want anyone else to read it. I am praying about those feelings and need to remember my journal is for me and my best friend God,and and if anyone else reads it maybe it will help them to know me more.
Thanks for reminding me it doesn't have to be perfect. I've been procrastinating for VERY long time (around 3 years) , because I was afraid of ruining my Bibles.
Yes there’s no right or wrong way to journal! My good friend bought me a prayer journal this week and it’s one thats got questions in it and it’s so pretty and I’m so excited to incorporate it into my time with God. I also have a blank journal that I use too. Ah I feel the same about the someone finding it! Even though I keep it in my home. I’m not vague but not as detailed as I could be 🤗
Kaycee Peterson hehe I’m glad I’m not the only one that has been paranoid about someone finding it! 🤪 That’s so sweet of your friend to get you a prayer journal! 🥰
I have tried. But I'm not artsy at all and I felt like my scribbles looked horrible do i stoped but this video made me realize that's not was what is important. So thank you
I have a prayer journal that's organized and broken up into things God's teaching me/answered prayer/prayer requests/things to be thankful for, etc. But if I just need to get something out with God and I know I'll never reread it, then I just scribble out my thoughts as fast and messy as possible, usually while I'm not even wearing my glasses, and I really can't see ANYTHING without them 😅
You are helping me get through the most difficult time of my life right now! You are truly a blessing and I can’t thank you enough for having this channel! I would love to have extended conversations with you about the Lord! Lol Thank you 🙏🏻 God bless!!
I just started journaling in general. I have wanted to prayer journal but how? I have one journal I write about sermons I listen to. I write what verses was talked about and points that spoke to my heart. Your video just made me realize I was already prayer journaling. Journaling does SO much for your heart, mind and soul. 💜
Loved Loved Loved the realness in your video. Been watching TH-cam videos on journaling and found all the artsy stuff so intimidating for I am soo not artsy. And YES, was letting it distract me from what I really need to focus on. This happens to me from time to time and I allowed all these artsy people, (not that there is anything wrong with making artsy journals, they are so fun to watch!) But I am so not artsy nor do I have the time to do so. Your video inspired me to just focus on His word and if I have a day I can get artsy, then enjoy the time! But it is okay NOT to be artsy too!! Thank you!!
First time watching your channel. I have started prayer journaling. The words sometimes dont come out right but i know HE knows. May God continue to bless you!
I love this! currently binge watching your channel. Everything you say is so encouraging and inspiring :) I feel like God is looking at me saying ,"see, that's what i've been trying to tell you." lol
"My grocery list deserves space in my prayer journal" I needed this!!!! Thank you!! I've done for years but always appreciate being reminded that it does not have to be perfect and everything can be in it!
Binge watching you. I absolutely love your energy!! I desperately NEED a friend like you... I am 54 & ADHD along with other mental illness' 😔. The Holy Spirit is REALLY pulling on my heart every day. I'm not a smart woman & a H.S. drop out. I never learned to take notes or even how to study. I very much want a close, personal relationship with God but don't know how to pray properly...😔 Thank you so much for all your free printables!
IDEA: [I like your 'leave it at the cross' envelope....] On an entry where I have a question, or a concern or a need ....big deals to me....and it is written down in my journal. Then--or later-- Father gives me a word/Scripture dealing with that.....I take a piece of paper/3x5 card and write that input and then tape it OVER the request for the need/concern/question. There may be more coming or the prayer/promise hasn't come to pass but I surely found a way to 'leave it at the cross'!!!
God brought me to your video this evening. I have recently been interested in Bible journaling and now I see that prayer journaling is an option as well. I have recently joined a Bible study and have noticed my faith is stronger and the hunger to read, study and talk about what about what I am learning has grown. Thank you for sharing your journals and tips on how to start. I needed that reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfect💗
Haven’t started a prayer journal. Seems like I just feel inadequate and so uncreative. This helped and I have learned so much from your channel. So much more to learn. Thanks again to your guidance.
Faith, you are the reason I started studying the word. I haven’t had someone to look up to or ask questions to about studying. You inspired me to fall in love with the scriptures. Thank you.
I had so much fun creating my prayer journal. I wanted to be more disciplined in having a stronger prayer life. In one of my section I have prayers for the United States, Israel & Jerusalem. Others sections are for "my Family",... "Salvation for unsaved family & friends",... "Prayer Needs,"..."Prayers for the Unborn" "Graditude"..."Holy Spirit"..., "Forgiveness(confession),".. "Worship(Praise)",..."Bible(scriptures to memorize)", .."Church( Pastor & his family, church members & missions." My prayer journal keeps me on track & my prayers aren't hit & miss! Enjoyed your videos! Very inspiring & uplifting!❤🙏❤🙌❤🕊❤🇺🇸❤
Hello Faith. I’m new to journaling. This video was spot on with my concerns. You were the answer to my prayer and I thank the Lord for you and your wisdom. I love watching your videos. Thank you and God bless.
Such an inspiration! I’ve wasted so much money on buying bible journaling stuff that I never use😬. I’d seriously like to get the interleaved bible, but I have a single column already. I love all the room to add in special devotions I love from Charles Stanley
Hi Faith, WOW!! What a blessing you are to me and so many others! Thank you…thank you…THANK YOU!! Faith, I was wondering if you could do a tutorial You Tube post on how you made the pocket at the back of your prayer journal focused here. I love the idea of praying for something/someone and putting it in the pocket entrusting it to God, knowing that He has heard that prayer and will respond/act accordingly. Love your videos. Love your inspiration. Love you ❤
I love how raw honest you are about your imperfect-perfect prayer journal. I’m better at writing my emotions and prayers but also had the fear of putting it to paper. This was so helpful
I have only just found your channel and this video. Thank you for this. I struggle with this topic because I feel like if I don’t write a lot or make it pretty and artsy then it’s not good enough or worthy enough. This has helped me realize it’s ok if sometimes I struggle to get my thoughts on paper, because He still knows my heart and thoughts. And it’s more about spending the time.
I'm so glad I found this video. My new years resolution was to deepen my prayer with a prayer journal but I had no idea where to start. I have been watching so many videos and getting so overwhelmed and you reminded me JUST START. I do have a couple questions for you though, do you ever empty out the envelope in the back? Do you use this journal as like a preplanning page for your actual prayers or do you pray as you write?
How to Faith A Life, Thank you for your video about prayer journaling. I think you just gave me the motivation I needed. My prayer life pretty much stinks. I'm not one that seems to have an easy time talking to God. But, Writing my thoughts out, NO problem. So, as of tomorrow....I'll just start writing!
I just discovered your videos and have watched one after another today. You have inspired me to start Bible and prayer journaling. I love to write and have always kept journals of my prayers and Bible studies, and I have felt very drawn to the creative kind of journaling you do, but i just didn't know how to get started. (I have to admit that I thought the point was just to make it prettier, which actually turned me off to the whole idea. UNTIL I watched your videos today!!) Your videos have been extremely helpful and have shown me how the point of journaling is to gain a deeper understanding of God and His Word. And to draw me into a deeper relationship with Him. Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing your journals with us!!
I love seeing how other people prayer journal. My own journaling has evolved over time, but is so important to my prayer life and Christian walk. Thanks for sharing yours, Faith! 💕
@@HowtoFaithALife I’ve tried different layouts, dividing mine up into sections for gratitude, scripture, petitions, etc. - but ended up going with something simpler that works for me. I don’t have TH-cam videos, but do have some prayer journaling vids on TikTok
Thank you so much !!! I think you covered everything I needed to hear to start my prayer journaling. Such great encouragement !!! May God bless you and your family.
I know this is what God wanted me to see today. I have been stuck in a lot of ways, and this video was the first thing suggested to me today. Thank you for posting this!
thank you for all you and your husband are doing to live for God, and encourage others....glad i stayed to the end, where imho the nectar was...from 16:00 on.....the real/practical tips you shared
I love the envelope idea. I feel like I have a hard time taking my hands off things like my prayer on getting married some day. I try to give it to God but it can be hard.
Binge watching all your vids. In my head we are bffs ha ha 💜
yes please! I actually went and checked out your channel after you first commented, because my hair is so dry all the time and I really have been neglecting it! But, mine is more of a 2C/ 3A(when I take care of it)
@@HowtoFaithALife awww thank you for checking out my content sis. Have you ever tried an oil treatment before washing followed by a Deep Conditioner with a tsp honey ? I think it would work so well for you. Always here if you need any hair advice. xo
I was thinking the same thing. I am also binge watching
Same lol !!! She's amazing!! ❤
Love your honesty and that you are so real. Many blessings to you and your family ❤❤❤❤
I totally agree about being honest in your prayers. Prayer is about having a relationship with God.
Yes!! I think most people overlook the necessity of just being real with Him!

I love that view of a prayer journal as a war binder!
thanks! :)

Awe, thank you! What a sweet compliment! That means so much!
Glad I watched! I’m always focused on the “proper” words or is this really worth saying. Now, I’m definitely going to open up more.
Love love love this!!! You inspire me in every way! I’m going back and watching all your videos! I’m a huge scrapbooker so this type of Bible journaling and prayer journaling speaks to my heart❤

That’s so sweet of your friend to get you a prayer journal! 🥰
Do you prayer journal? What is your favorite practice in your prayer journal?
Being real and honest. Also writing and rewriting scripture.....if that counts
Ooooooo AND praying boldly
I have tried. But I'm not artsy at all and I felt like my scribbles looked horrible do i stoped but this video made me realize that's not was what is important. So thank you
Beth Hand I’m so glad that I could be an encouragement! Praise the Lord! That’s all Him! So what do you do, instead?
I have a prayer journal that's organized and broken up into things God's teaching me/answered prayer/prayer requests/things to be thankful for, etc. But if I just need to get something out with God and I know I'll never reread it, then I just scribble out my thoughts as fast and messy as possible, usually while I'm not even wearing my glasses, and I really can't see ANYTHING without them 😅
Love this❣️
Love this!!!
I’m starting to prayer journal today. You have inspired me to not worry about being perfect! Thank you so much. 💕📚🎶
Yay! I’m so glad! Praise the Lord!
You are helping me get through the most difficult time of my life right now! You are truly a blessing and I can’t thank you enough for having this channel! I would love to have extended conversations with you about the Lord! Lol Thank you 🙏🏻 God bless!!
I cherish your prayers, thank you for those kind words!
I just started journaling in general. I have wanted to prayer journal but how? I have one journal I write about sermons I listen to. I write what verses was talked about and points that spoke to my heart. Your video just made me realize I was already prayer journaling.
Journaling does SO much for your heart, mind and soul. 💜
Tammy Hogan I agree! You totally already were! And I also have to agree- there’s something so therapeutic about journaling!
Loved Loved Loved the realness in your video. Been watching TH-cam videos on journaling and found all the artsy stuff so intimidating for I am soo not artsy. And YES, was letting it distract me from what I really need to focus on. This happens to me from time to time and I allowed all these artsy people, (not that there is anything wrong with making artsy journals, they are so fun to watch!) But I am so not artsy nor do I have the time to do so. Your video inspired me to just focus on His word and if I have a day I can get artsy, then enjoy the time! But it is okay NOT to be artsy too!! Thank you!!
Yay, I’m so glad this inspired you- I totally agree and relate to you and the way you feel watching SUPER artsy videos!
I also have made a prayer box that I did a video about and I love my prayer box too!
OOOH! I love that idea! I am going to have to check that out!
How to Faith A Life it’s so much fun!!
First time watching your channel. I have started prayer journaling. The words sometimes dont come out right but i know HE knows. May God continue to bless you!
Here is a video where I share a bunch of prompts you can use in your prayer journal to get the words flowing! th-cam.com/video/HKiSjvbDu6E/w-d-xo.html
I love this! currently binge watching your channel. Everything you say is so encouraging and inspiring :) I feel like God is looking at me saying ,"see, that's what i've been trying to tell you." lol
I’m so glad I could be an encouragement! Praise the Lord!
"My grocery list deserves space in my prayer journal"
I needed this!!!! Thank you!! I've done for years but always appreciate being reminded that it does not have to be perfect and everything can be in it!
Yes! I am so glad I could be an encouragement! 😭🙌🏻💕
@@HowtoFaithALife and I found your fb group! ❤
@@KillingTheUnsaid good! Yay! I’m so glad!
@@KillingTheUnsaid what’s your Facebook name? I don’t see your request!

Binge watching you. I absolutely love your energy!! I desperately NEED a friend like you...
I am 54 & ADHD along with other mental illness' 😔. The Holy Spirit is REALLY pulling on my heart every day. I'm not a smart woman & a H.S. drop out. I never learned to take notes or even how to study. I very much want a close, personal relationship with God but don't know how to pray properly...😔
Thank you so much for all your free printables!
Love that you share so much with us. I prayer journal as well. Have seen God answer so many of my prayers. Blessings keep on sharing 🙏
Love this ❤❤❤❤❤
IDEA: [I like your 'leave it at the cross' envelope....] On an entry where I have a question, or a concern or a need ....big deals to me....and it is written down in my journal. Then--or later-- Father gives me a word/Scripture dealing with that.....I take a piece of paper/3x5 card and write that input and then tape it OVER the request for the need/concern/question. There may be more coming or the prayer/promise hasn't come to pass but I surely found a way to 'leave it at the cross'!!!
Love this sis! Would you share more about your journal before you were married that u mentioned? Like the one you had for your future spouse? 😊♥️
God brought me to your video this evening. I have recently been interested in Bible journaling and now I see that prayer journaling is an option as well. I have recently joined a Bible study and have noticed my faith is stronger and the hunger to read, study and talk about what about what I am learning has grown. Thank you for sharing your journals and tips on how to start. I needed that reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfect💗
I am so glad it was helpful! Praise the Lord. Praying over you Tricia, and your journey with the Lord!
Haven’t started a prayer journal. Seems like I just feel inadequate and so uncreative. This helped and I have learned so much from your channel. So much more to learn. Thanks again to your guidance.
Faith, you are the reason I started studying the word. I haven’t had someone to look up to or ask questions to about studying. You inspired me to fall in love with the scriptures. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing
I had so much fun creating my prayer journal. I wanted to be more disciplined in having a stronger prayer life. In one of my section I have prayers for the United States, Israel & Jerusalem. Others sections are for "my Family",... "Salvation for unsaved family & friends",... "Prayer Needs,"..."Prayers for the Unborn" "Graditude"..."Holy Spirit"..., "Forgiveness(confession),".. "Worship(Praise)",..."Bible(scriptures to memorize)", .."Church( Pastor & his family, church members & missions." My prayer journal keeps me on track & my prayers aren't hit & miss! Enjoyed your videos! Very inspiring & uplifting!❤🙏❤🙌❤🕊❤🇺🇸❤
I love those ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing
Hello Faith. I’m new to journaling. This video was spot on with my concerns. You were the answer to my prayer and I thank the Lord for you and your wisdom. I love watching your videos. Thank you and God bless.
Such an inspiration! I’ve wasted so much money on buying bible journaling stuff that I never use😬. I’d seriously like to get the interleaved bible, but I have a single column already. I love all the room to add in special devotions I love from Charles Stanley
Yes! Exactly! You also could always technically make any bible an interleaved bible by taping in blank pages!
This is amazing ideas for your kids and at the cross envelope❤
I love how you are open and honest and share your life. I want to start a prayer journal, so this very helpful! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you ❤
Here from Amanda’s page! 💜
Hey! Thank you for stopping by!
Hi Faith, WOW!! What a blessing you are to me and so many others! Thank you…thank you…THANK YOU!! Faith, I was wondering if you could do a tutorial You Tube post on how you made the pocket at the back of your prayer journal focused here. I love the idea of praying for something/someone and putting it in the pocket entrusting it to God, knowing that He has heard that prayer and will respond/act accordingly. Love your videos. Love your inspiration. Love you ❤
I love a prayer journal!!! It helps me just unload everything and cleanse my mind so I can pray creatively and not just words. 🥰🥰
Yes! That's such a good way to put it!
Oh my goodness, thank you I needed to hear all of this!
Glad it was helpful!
I love how raw honest you are about your imperfect-perfect prayer journal. I’m better at writing my emotions and prayers but also had the fear of putting it to paper. This was so helpful
I'm so glad! Praise the Lord. I am SO GLAD my video could help and encourage.
Sister, I love your Bible journaling videos you did a wonderful job God bless you sister Happy Monday 💞🙌🏾🔥
Miss K TeenTalks thank you! Happy Monday to you, as well!
How to Faith A Life you're welcome
Like it thank you for being real
God bless you !! ❤️🌻🌞
I have only just found your channel and this video. Thank you for this. I struggle with this topic because I feel like if I don’t write a lot or make it pretty and artsy then it’s not good enough or worthy enough. This has helped me realize it’s ok if sometimes I struggle to get my thoughts on paper, because He still knows my heart and thoughts. And it’s more about spending the time.
I have been watching your videos for months and I really enjoy them!
Glad you like them! Praise the Lord!
Bless you girl. I am enjoying this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm so glad I found this video. My new years resolution was to deepen my prayer with a prayer journal but I had no idea where to start. I have been watching so many videos and getting so overwhelmed and you reminded me JUST START. I do have a couple questions for you though, do you ever empty out the envelope in the back? Do you use this journal as like a preplanning page for your actual prayers or do you pray as you write?
You can also make a junk journal like things to have at home even cereal boxes hahha I love this
How to Faith A Life, Thank you for your video about prayer journaling. I think you just gave me the motivation I needed. My prayer life pretty much stinks. I'm not one that seems to have an easy time talking to God. But, Writing my thoughts out, NO problem.
So, as of tomorrow....I'll just start writing!
I'm so glad! Praise the Lord! Yay!
I just discovered your videos and have watched one after another today. You have inspired me to start Bible and prayer journaling. I love to write and have always kept journals of my prayers and Bible studies, and I have felt very drawn to the creative kind of journaling you do, but i just didn't know how to get started. (I have to admit that I thought the point was just to make it prettier, which actually turned me off to the whole idea. UNTIL I watched your videos today!!) Your videos have been extremely helpful and have shown me how the point of journaling is to gain a deeper understanding of God and His Word. And to draw me into a deeper relationship with Him. Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing your journals with us!!
Thanks for sharing!
God truly uses u for His will
Ty so much for your videos
I have been blessed through your videos
I love seeing how other people prayer journal. My own journaling has evolved over time, but is so important to my prayer life and Christian walk. Thanks for sharing yours, Faith! 💕
Yes! Do you have any tips or advice to add?
@@HowtoFaithALife I’ve tried different layouts, dividing mine up into sections for gratitude, scripture, petitions, etc. - but ended up going with something simpler that works for me. I don’t have TH-cam videos, but do have some prayer journaling vids on TikTok
@@kimberlybartley7694 Oh wow! That's awesome! What's your name on Tiktok?! That's worth downloading the app!

I love the envelope idea. I feel like I have a hard time taking my hands off things like my prayer on getting married some day. I try to give it to God but it can be hard.
Thanks you
Love this. So glad I found your channel.🌸
