Prayer Journal Instructions
Hi ladies,
I was unable to attend MOPS last week due to personal illness, but I heard only good things about it. Dori did a wonderful job sharing her experience with prayer and walked the ladies through starting their own prayer journals. For those that were not there, I thought I would explain it here on the blog:
1. Assemble the materials you will need: 3 ring binder, pen, notebook paper, 8-10 dividers, and your prayer list.
2. Label your dividers: Daily, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, as well as Journal and Resources.
3. Start with your Daily divider. Behind it put a sheet of paper for each of the following: yourself, your husband, your children. Personally I add two sheet for each. The first sheet for each has my requests, which seem to change often (help be well from strep, help with project at work, requests for my marriage, etc). The second page is scriptures and long-term requests. I also put dates on the pages, or by specific requests. Skip a few lines between each request so as it changes and you receive answers you can make notes.
I also include in this section:
30 Days of praying for your husband: http://www.reviveourhearts.com/topics/downloads/index.php?id=9473
30 Days of praying for your children: http://www.freemethodistchurch.org/Magazine/PDF%20Files/31-Days-Calendar-Color.PDF
Example requests page:
Charles & Rebecca - 08/2008
*Health
*Homeschool and Household routine - maintain peace and order, enforce boundaries, do the things I know I should do 09/30 praise that school is going so well, 10/17 guidance as I plan next quarter
*Charles projects at work: peletron in progress, unit productivity - in research stage, capacity increase - gathering information (this is great because as I pray I remember to ask him how specific projects are going and for projects that have dates I know what he needs extra prayers on for that day. Charles loves that I am involved and interested in his work, this has been very good for our marriage)
Example of scripture and character page:
Keegan & Wylee
*grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man
*grow up secure in their identity as your children, always drawing their self worth from You
*prepare their spouses for them and protect them, that my children may have strong, vibrant, Christ-honoring marriages, their future spouses will come to know you
*be obedient, knowing they are a special part of our family
3. Days of the week prayer sections - Divide your prayer list up, giving each request a page and then divide them between different days. You can do this however you want. I try each day to pray for at least one extended family member, a church or ministry, a friend and their family and someone I know that is either really hurting or needs to know Christ. Some people just divide their list up and add to it as they think of things. Any way that works for you is great.
4. Journal - put some blank pages in here for writing. You can use this for thoughts on your scripture that day, verses you are memorizing, the Adoration, Confession and Thanksgiving parts of your ACTS prayer (Supplication being covered in the rest of your journal), and lessons you are learning from God and goals you are working toward to serve Him.
5. Resources - this section is for ideas, handouts and any other papers you come across that are helpful to you in your prayer and study time.
Most of all, make your journal your own. It is a tool to assist you and by no means is this a set in stone formula, it is just what has worked for me. I have been using mine for well over a year and love it. And above all, us it! Carve out DAILY time to spend with God. It is the best use of time in the world.
If you have any questions please call me 704-974-6507 or email: asedai@carolina.rr.com
God Bless you as you commit to serving your family by praying for them, Rebecca

October Meeting
Greetings ladies live from the Steering Team Meeting!
We are discussing our next meeting, the one where we are creating prayer journals. We will have the basic pages and ideas for you, but if would like to go home with a completed journal ready to use, we recommend the following supplies:
1 3-ring binder (at least 1 inch, probably a 1.5 inch)
8-10 tabbed dividers
To provide better structure for our little ones, and ease the strain on our MOPPETS workers, were are going to run MOPPETT from 9:30-11:30. We will socialize with our little ones until 9:30, and the MOPPETS program will start promptly at 9:30!
Other important notes:
*Remember your non-perishable items for the DSS pantry.
*We have to register with MOPS International, so please bring your registration fee to this month's meeting.
Looking forward to seeing you there:
Thursday, October 16th
Beaver Dam Baptist Church
