The Prayer Journal

The success of my spiritual life depends on the experience of a good life of personal prayer. One of the things that must help me in this is my prayer journal. It is like a dashboard on which I must rely to walk in the footsteps of Christ. For it to be effective for me, I must use it every day to make my prayer. My prayer sheet for the month must be printed and kept inside it, even if I have Android tools on which I can consult it.

Also, every morning I must set my schedule for a good time of prayer of at least 30 minutes. I must begin by writing to Jesus everything that worries me or gives me joy… I must then listen to him by meditating on the text proposed by the Church on the Prayer sheet. I must continue by making a synthesis of what the Lord has said to me and of my prayer as well.

To conclude, it is best to write, at the end of one’s prayer, the date and the exercise of the day, without forgetting the biblical verse that has touched me. Indeed, writing always helps us to remember better so as to recall it more easily during the day. In the evening, I must also use my prayer journal to evaluate my day and note how I lived the exercise of the day and my life in general. In this way, at the end of each period, it becomes simpler to take stock of one’s relationship with God, and to improve what has already been done.
