I designed this Bible and Prayer Journal printable<\/strong> because I am tired of being spiritually scattered. I have prayer requests written in my planner, on scraps of paper, or my favorite–tucked away in my mind so I can “remember” to pray for or about it later. My Bible notes share the same chaotic life as my prayer requests and intentions. If I had to show you my spiritual life on paper, it would look like half-written in spirals, multi-colored sticky notes, calendar, planner, and book margins, and the occasional age-old record-keeping system–the back of an envelope. Not that there’s anything wrong with any of those if they’re working for me. But none of them are working well as a discombobulated means of recording my spiritual life.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Why keep a record of our spiritual life anyway? Well, we write down things we want to remember because they are important–birthdays, appointments, recipes, quotes. The Psalmist states, \u201cLet all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.\u201d (Psalm 103:2) and “But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.” (Psalm 77:11) I know those two verses don’t say a thing about writing anything down, but if I don’t write something down, I’ll forget it before the day is over! I want to remember the way the Lord has moved and worked in my life and the lives of those who have trusted me with their prayers, so, I write it down.<\/p>\n But, writing it in the margins of the closest calendar, book, or spiral, various sticky notes or the back of an envelope isn’t doing me any favors. Not being able to find them later when I need them, defeats the original purpose. Just like I’ll miss important dates and appointments, forget my favorite recipes, and can’t recall certain words of comfort, inspiration, or instruction from something I’ve read when I need them again if I don’t take the time to record them.<\/p>\n
