Hi there! I’m Lisa, the author of the WWP Praying from the Heart: Guided Prayer Journal. In this journal, I’ll walk you through a method I created to guide you in your prayer practice. As an avid prayer journaler myself, I understand the frustration of not knowing where to begin or how to pray. But don’t worry, this journal provides both structure and freedom for your prayers. Each entry begins with “dear God, I feel,” where you can write your unedited thoughts in God’s presence. This is a space for you to focus on your own heart and identify your lie-based thinking, as well as the truths you know about God. Scripture plays a crucial role in this, which is why I’ve included a beautiful bookmark with lists of common lie-based thoughts and truths about God. And every 20 days, there’s a special section “laying down your Ebonies or stone” for reflection and expressing gratitude with an emphasis on faithfulness to God. This prayer journal also includes prayer lists for you to write down specific intentions for your loved ones. Additionally, I’ve shared the ey Declares, a series of scripture-based prayers addressing various needs. In short, this approach will help you converse with God, identify His voice, express gratitude, and pray for others. I truly pray that this prayer journal blesses you and is as helpful for you as it has been for me.

About the WWP Praying from the Heart: Guided Prayer Journal
As an avid prayer journaler myself, I wanted to make sure that this journal provided both structure and freedom. There’s nothing more frustrating than not knowing where to begin or how to pray. But at the same time, these are your prayers, your conversations with God. This journal is simply me sharing with you how I ask for God’s help.
Structure and Freedom
The WWP Praying from the Heart: Guided Prayer Journal strikes the perfect balance between structure and freedom. It provides a framework for your prayer time while allowing you the freedom to express yourself and connect with God in a personal way. You’ll find guidance and inspiration to support and enhance your prayer practice.
Entry Format
Each entry in the journal begins with “Dear God, I feel.” This is your invitation to open up and honestly express your thoughts and emotions in God’s presence. It’s not meant to be a place where you write prayers for others, but rather a place to focus on your own heart and connect with God on a deeper level.
Identifying Lie-Based Thinking
One of the unique features of the WWP Praying from the Heart: Guided Prayer Journal is its focus on identifying and countering lie-based thinking. There’s space provided for you to identify the thoughts that are based on lies and distortions. You are then encouraged to counter those lies with truths about God. Scripture and Bible study play a crucial role in this process, as they help you learn God’s voice and recognize His truth.
The Scripture Bookmark
To support you in identifying and countering lie-based thinking, the journal includes a beautiful bookmark. On one side, you’ll find a list of common lie-based thoughts, and on the other side, you’ll find a list of truths about God to combat those thoughts. This bookmark serves as a reminder of the power of Scripture and the importance of learning God’s voice through His Word.
Reflection: Laying Down Your Ebonies or Stones
Every 20 days, the WWP Praying from the Heart: Guided Prayer Journal includes a special section titled “Laying Down Your Ebonies or Stones.” This section is a space for reflection and is designed to help you express gratitude and faithfulness to God. It’s an opportunity for you to acknowledge God’s goodness and the ways He has been faithful to you.
Prayer Lists
Praying for others is an essential part of our relationship with God. The prayer lists in the journal provide a dedicated space for you to write down specific intentions for your loved ones. You can use this section to intercede for others and lift their needs up to God. To help you get started, a sample of prayer lists is included in the journal, offering guidance and inspiration.
The I Declares
The “I Declares” is a series of scripture-based prayers included in the journal. These prayers address various needs, such as fear, regret, worries, and more. The I Declares offer a way for you to turn to God’s Word for comfort, guidance, and reassurance in specific areas of your life. Daily prayers for your husband and monthly prayers for your children are also included in this powerful section.
Conclusion
The WWP Praying from the Heart: Guided Prayer Journal provides a comprehensive approach to deepen your conversations with God. Through its structure and freedom, it allows you to converse with God, identify His voice, express gratitude, and pray for others. It is my hope and prayer that this journal will bless and help you on your spiritual journey, just as it has done for me. So dive in and experience the transformative power of prayer!
