Danielle, do you keep a prayer journal and devote different days to pray for each family member? If so, do you have any suggestions or advice as to how to set that up? Do you prayer for one person per day? A different family each day? Do you include days for intentions for those in our world suffering from abuse/war, etc?
I know you’ve said there’s not just one right way to pray, but I want to be as thoughtful and thorough as possible, and at the same time, I want this to be easy and sustainable. Thoughts?
Hi Cathy! Thank you for this question. I admire your efforts to be organized in your approach to prayer time. You are right in recalling that there is not one right way to pray, but I like your idea to use a prayer journal to track intentions. I tend to pray for immediate family members every day, but if there is something or someone that I especially want to remember in prayer, I will pray a novena for that specific intention. You might need to try a few different things to find out what works for you. God bless you!
So excited to see your post on Facebook and to dig in over here. Your Listen & Pray for Advent was wonderful. I really felt more connected with Jesus this year. Reading Luke was beautiful. Thanks for helping me!
