What is a prayer journal? 

A prayer journal is a notebook where you write down your prayers. I use a prayer journal to keep track of my prayers and when God answers them. It helps me to connect with God on a deeper and more intentional level. You can use any notebook, journal, planner, or a sheet of paper to get started.
