I often struggle with the "what do I pray for then?" feelings because I have the same thought when I pray for the same thing over and over... that I should just trust HIM! KNOWING that He knows my heart, my desires, AND whats best for me. I'm really liking the idea of a prayer journal...Erin Pasillashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658918851618633830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208264279520359386.post-59633011825908360432011-06-23T03:03:20.429-07:002011-06-23T03:03:20.429-07:00i find praying with other people easier than prayi...i find praying with other people easier than praying on my own... maybe im just bad at focussing :p i find writing does help though :) xxDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18412347273682857613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208264279520359386.post-60857128275244949382011-06-22T14:22:43.060-07:002011-06-22T14:22:43.060-07:00I write out my prayers in my journal...it's no...I write out my prayers in my journal...it's not my "bless my husband, family..." kind of stuff, but whatever is on my mind that very minute. It helps me decompress before I get into the Word. But everyone is different.

I do sit down to pray to him as in a more "formal" way where my "list" is pretty repetitive, but I think that's ok because I bring to him the concerns and thanks that I have at that point in time. However, my favorites are the talks that I have with God while I'm in the car, or doing dishes, or taking care of my girl. It really is just a normal conversation where I ask him questions and think of what his answers would be. <br />I don't have a prayer journal, but I know that some people have great results with it. But trust me, as long as you talk to Him, he doesn't care which way you do it :-) I asked him, and he agreed :-)Tatianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499818862831336384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208264279520359386.post-36750085629065780482011-06-22T11:01:57.750-07:002011-06-22T11:01:57.750-07:00Love this post Emily!

Wrote something similar to it yesterday =) I've been journaling my prayers for a couple of years now, and it's really helped me grown in my walk with the Lord.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534598705184827031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208264279520359386.post-54619638502034865602011-06-22T10:37:03.790-07:002011-06-22T10:37:03.790-07:00Sometimes my prayers look like me talking to mysel...Sometimes my prayers look like me talking to myself in my car, while walking...etc. I might look a little crazy, but I love that prayer can be just a talk with God, a bearing of your heart. I love the reading and then praying routine too, but I have incorporated a journal to write down verses that speak to me and my thoughts about them. God is your friend too, and I think if you incorporate the way you would approach a friend sometimes, you'll feel like it's not so repetitive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840572608210009070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208264279520359386.post-54962403430253842132011-06-22T09:56:11.656-07:002011-06-22T09:56:11.656-07:00Great post about prayer!

I really like this line ‘at what point is she going to trust in Me over these things and move on!??’ It's so true, but it's human nature to pray continually about something until we see it come to light. <br /><br />It's easier said than done to trust in Him and have faith that he DOES have everything under control. But once we realize that and surrender everything to him (even our prayers), we are less stressed, more at peace, and we're not worrying all the time.Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03951528053138742146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208264279520359386.post-45369996233939507132011-06-22T07:32:43.921-07:002011-06-22T07:32:43.921-07:00Oh Emily!

Sometimes, I feel my prayers are a little redundant...almost as if I don't want God to forget what I'm praying for or about...which I know it NOT possible. I also am in constant prayer or conversation with Him throughout my day. Sometimes, it feels better to talk to Him and give it all to Him...rather than talking to a co-worker. I like the idea of the prayer journal...may need to try that one out. Seriously, great post!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210790492117202057noreply@blogger.com
