PPJ not to be confused with PB&J

This month on the July To-Do list I am offering you a coupon code to download a free Praying with Pictures {a Journal}. This is the original post that inspired the journal. Maybe you just want to make your own or have your kids create their own. Whatever it is make sure to 
NEVER

PRAYING
1 Thessalonians 5:17

 “I thank my God every time I remember you” Philippians 1:3

Motherhood has put me in a constant mode of prayer. I praise Him for the joys and blessings and pray against the things of the world I fear most for my children. But, I feel like what I have lost is time for focused prayer. I have a running list of prayer requests in my head that never get my attention.

What I love about God is that it doesn’t have to be one way or the highway. My prayers are going to count no matter if I spend hours on my knees over them or if I throw them up like a Hail-Mary football pass.
 

I have recently found it helpful to create a picture prayer journal {ppj}. It is nothing fancy! I happened to have one of those photo albums laying around that had paper surrounding the area where you place the picture. A composition notebook or even folded computer paper would do the trick. I filled the album with pictures of my kids, family, friends, pictures of world events, dreams and more. I flip through the album and place the date and write the first word that comes to my mind when I see the picture.

These are my prayers! I am thankful it can be simple.
