Daily Reflections

I have decided to start 2 new journals - just for me. After reading 'Too Busy Not to Pray' I realized I really need to amp up my prayer life. I haven't done this in years up until a few months ago, and it is important to me to make the most out of my moments with God.

So first, I have a journal for daily reflections. It is limited to one page per day, and I can write any sort of reflections I have on the previous day. I start every entry with 'Yesterday,". Nothing has to profound, it is just a way to really think about things and give myself a chance to ponder on something I may have just moved on from and forgotten about. I think I will enjoy it...I like getting in touch with myself, and it will help me get in touch with God.

The second step of this journaling process is a prayer journal. I am really ADD especially when doing anything silently. It is sometimes hard for me to just listen to things, and even harder for me to pay attention when speaking to God. My mind wanders, I start having a conversation with myself about the events of the day or something that is bothering me, rather than with God. So I am going to start writing down my prayers, also limited to a page per day. After the fact, I will read my prayers aloud, adding comments or whatnot where I see fit. That is not to say I will only have one interaction with God per day, because I pray throughout the day. But it WILL be one, concentrated and purposeful moment with God each day.

I am super excited to see where this will lead me in my walk with Christ.
