Make your own prayer journal

Write down what stood out in the day’s reading and who you’re praying for. We print your journal and post it to you.

It opens in our editor, and you only pay when you order.

An open journal called Morning prayer, a page for each day. Each page has the day’s reading, Psalm 23 and then Matthew 6:25-34, the question What stood out to me?, a list headed I’m praying for with Ciara’s first day ticked, and the question What am I thankful for?, each filled in by hand.

This one is for the morning, before the day gets busy. Start from this one

What goes in a prayer journal?

Many people start with the day’s reading, then a line or two on what stood out.

One page of a journal called Our prayer list. Be still, and know that I am God is written as the verse for the week, and a table of prayer requests lists the date, who, what for and whether it was answered, with Mam’s results, Ciara’s new job and the Murphys’ baby ticked.

A prayer list is easiest to keep as a table. Write who it’s for and what you’re asking, and tick it when it’s answered.

Leave room at the bottom for thanks. You’ll be glad of it when you look back on a hard week.

Change anything before you order

You can rewrite any question, try a different layout and give each part more or less room. Add a quote, notes or the hours of the day under any section.

A change can go on one day or on every day in the book, so your birthday can ask something different!

The Astera editor open on the first day of My days. The question at the top of the left page is picked, with a bar of buttons over it and a handle on each side.

Then we print it and post it to you

When your pages are right, open the preview and read the whole journal on screen as it’ll print.

Then pick your cover! It can be a softcover, a hardcover or linen with your title pressed into the cloth in gold or silver foil.

It’s one price whatever you change in the book, and the post is included.
