I don’t think it’s a coincidence that when we decided to share our favorite resources for moms with you this month, I immediately thought of my prayer journal. The timing of this post coincides perfectly with the tremendous success of the movie “War Room” (featuring the sweet daughter of our own Wynter Pitts!) and the IF:Pray event last night.
Moms, if ever there was a time to get on our knees for our children that time is NOW.
I have felt a growing urgency to pray for my daughters over the past few years. The world we live in can feel like a scary place and sending our girls out into it can feel even scarier. Through prayer, I am learning to trust in the loving protection of a big God who has big plans for my girls.
This wasn’t always the case. Prayer wasn’t always a priority to me like it is today.
As a busy mom to littles, I thought I didn’t have time to pray. Unlike Martin Luther who said, “I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer,” I thought, instead, that I had so much to do I didn’t have time to pray.
Most of my prayers as a young mom sounded like, “Help me!”
As my kids got a little older, I had more time, but my (bad) habits had been formed.
I slowly started to pray, “Thank you.”
But once my girls hit high school and college I began to realize just how high the stakes really were. These were the very lives and souls of the girls God had given me to raise! How could I not be praying earnestly for them?
I started praying with more intention: “Help them.”
Over the 20-plus years that I’ve been a mom, I’ve seen God’s faithfulness as He has answered prayer after prayer for my girls, despite my weak attempts at making prayer a priority.
Last year, though, my prayer life changed dramatically, and, as a result, my walk with God has become so much deeper, sweeter, richer. The answers I’ve seen have been nothing short of miraculous. Yes, I’ve experienced disappointments, but I know that God knows and hears my cries for those as well.
What’s changed? Aside from God’s sweet grace in my life, I’ve been using this little tool that I want to share with you today.
Sometime last year, my oldest daughter told me about a prayer journal she had received—she was so excited about it that she gave one to me. (The bonus of having older daughters—they give you unexpected gifts!)
I started using the prayer journal and got really excited about it, so I gave one to almost everyone I knew at Christmas last year.
And then one of my friends gave a bunch to her friends.
And so on . . . and so on . . . and so on . . .
This prayer journal by Val Marie Paper is just one of those gifts that may just change your life too. It features categories like “The World,” “Our Nation,” “My Loves,” “My Family,” and “My Friends,” and gives you space to write specific requests. There’s a place to record your hurts and your thanks as well.
“Answered Prayers” is the section I love most because it has been so encouraging to look back each month and see how God has answered specific prayers that I’ve prayed. It’s a constant reminder to me that He is there, He does listen, and He will answer.
Val Marie Papers also offers a prayer journal for kids. What better way to instill the habit of prayer at an early age?
When we at Mothers of Daughters decided to highlight one of our favorite resources for parenting, I knew right away that I wanted to share Val Marie’s prayer journal with you. It has changed my prayer life-I can’t wait to pray every day now!-and I pray that it will change yours as well.
Sweet Valerie of Val Marie Papers has linked arms with Mothers of Daughters to offer a very special giveaway this week. We’re giving away TWO prayer journals to one lucky reader: a woman’s prayer journal for you and a kid’s prayer journal for your daughter. What could be better?!
Simply leave us a comment below—maybe tell us why you’d like to receive these prayer journals or an answer to prayer you’ve seen recently or maybe even a prayer that you have for your daughter—and you’ll be entered. (Please make sure we have your email address so we can contact you if you win.) We’ll announce a winner on Friday.

I would love this. My adult daughter, who lives with me while trying to get through nursing, and I need to revisit our daily blessings on most days. It is a continuing struggle and very stresful dealing with day to day living. I would love to take the time for both us to journal and then sit with one another to thank God and his blessings.
What a glorious opportunity to really sit and think about for who and what we are praying for. Often times our prayer lives do take a back seat but it’s when we give the Lord our first, our first minutes of the busy day, our first thoughts, that we truly begin to see the majesty of our Lord and Savior. It is by his grace that we are able to accomplish so much through prayer, even when we feel inadequate or fumble to find the right words. What an amazing thing like prayer that God has given to us. A real two-way connection to the greatest resource.
I’d love to win these for me and my daughter.For both of us, prayer has always been a struggle, or at least praying out loud. Unfortunately, that has led her away from consistent praying since she just feels so awkward about it. And she says she gets too distracted if she does it in her head, I know I struggle with that as well. I never thought about a prayer journal! I could see this helping us both a great deal!
I am the momma of 5 girls! My oldest is almost 14, and recently told me she would like to get a mother/daughter devotional for teens to do with me (we had one for girls that we did in the past). I am so happy that she approached me about it, and I think prayer journals would be the perfect compliment to the devotionals!
My oldest daughter is nine and has a love for God’s Word. She loves to share what God’s teaching her and she loves to write. This would be a great way to encourage her. Thanks.
Since ive started intentionally praying for my kids I have noticed amaxing changes in their behavior and would love place to record it more specifically.
I’d love to win to get my daughter started keeping a prayer journal
This would really help guide my daughter and I (as well as my sons) in prayer. We really don’t pray much if at all and what I learned as a kid wasn’t much to go on for adulthood. I find it hard to focus on prayer and would love some guidelines to help make it easier as well as more fruitful.
I would love it because I have been wanting to get my daughter to start thinking about God and others in prayer. It would be a good way for both of to connect and a great way to get our thoughts down. I want her to know that prayer is an important part of her life.
I am a ministry wife, homeschooling mom to 4 wonderful kids, and most importantly a prayer warrior. My greatest responsibility is modeling for my kids how to come to the feet of Christ and what to do there. My oldest daughter just turned 11. She is so teachable, so passionate about Jesus, and has a huge burden for the gospel. It would be a wonderful blessing to use these journals with her, and to grow through prayer with her, all the while knowing my youngest daughter will also grow with us and will one day soon rise up and make her own decision for Christ.

I have been trying to tell my daughter about the importance of prayer. Ths would be perfect for her to write them down. Thank you!!
Correcting email listed with comment above.
my daughter is growing in her faith and is struggling with various areas. We have been more focused on intentional prayer and journaling would be a great addition for both of us!
funny that I should come across this today after hearing in church yesterday about praying more……after seeing war room last week….all the while I feel the tug of God calling me to something bigger in my prayer life, especially for others!! Excited to see this!
Im a mommy of 4 beautiful girls, in May my 4 year old lost her right hand in a lawn mowing accident. I have seen God do so many awesome things for her and throuh her this past couple months. She was able to heal and not lose 1 ounce of her sparkle and shine, and she still knows that God is always there to protect her even when bad things happen! My other daughter was driving the lawn mower and i have watched her heart slowly heal as well, without God neither of them would be emotionally healing like they are right now! I started a prayer journal in June after we came home from the hospital, it is my first one so im still getting the hang of it, but i know i am truly blessed with an amazing God and he is showing me new things everyday!

I pray for my daughters they would grow to be mighty women, mighty warriors for, of God. That He would have His hand on them, always. That they would not wander from their faith. That they would seek Him first and always. That He would give me the courage to be the momma they need. The momma He needs me to be. Amen.
I would love to win this!! Daily I try to do the best for my girls and daily I feel like I fail as a mom. In today’s society we get so wrapped up into our busy schedules and lives that we put God on the bottom of our list.. I can’t put into words how God has changed our lives for the better and how I wish every parent would bring Him to the top of their to do list. Thank u Jesus for ur unconditional love and especially for my beautiful girls. Tho I feel like I fail them, I know You never will!
My daughter and I would love this. We pray together and she always has prayer request. It would be a blessing to have this journal. To see how where our prayer journey leads us with God as our guide.
I have never used a prayer journal. I would love to use one. My little girl is about to turn 3… She is my strong willed unstoppable child. I am struggling so much to balance being in charge of leading her and growing her, but not being a dictator or giving in and allowing her to call the shots. My prayer for her most days is just that the Good Lord helps me raise her and her brother to become believers in Him. Walking closely with him.
This would be awesome as we are learning about prayer in our home!
I have 4 daughters, and with varying sports schedules we struggle often times to find the time to connect like we should. I would love something tangible to be accountable to, so we can see our growth, and make prayer time more structured.
These are lovely! Right now I just have a spiral notebook, but a touch of beauty might be the draw to entice my oldest daughter (7) to start one… and it would be something we could do together.

I’d love to use a prayer journal also as I’m feeling the call to pray fervently for my girls. Thank you for sharing your experience.
My 3rd baby was what I call my super rainbow baby. I had three consecutive miscarriages and then my husband got relocated cross country. We decided to take a break from trying until we got settled in to our new state. Two months in we were pregnant without trying. Ultrasound said boy but when baby came out, it was a girl. This was our first girl. I would love to have a journal for my own journey and one to give to her when she is old enough to use it!
These are truly lovely. I am a part of a weekly Bible study at my church, and we spend a lot of time focusing on prayer prior to jumping into our study. In the 3 years I have been a part of this group we have had many answered prayers. It has been amazing to watch! My daughter is 6. We homeschool, and she absolutely hates to write. I’ve been thinking that a prayer journal would be a perfect solution to get her to practice writing. It would be beneficial in more than one way, as it would help her handwriting skills, and provide the opportunity to see God at work.
I would love this prayer journal even though my daughter is 2 we pray every night before bed and before each meal but I want to get more into the bible with her and a prayer journal would be a perfect fit to show her how God can do amazing things
I’m trying to make prayer more of a priority in my life, some days are better than others. I think a prayer journal would really help, and sharing one with my daughter would be a good way to start her early making prayer a priority in her life.
I’d like to win these to do with my mom. Hey birthday is around the corner.
I’ve been craving a deeper prayer life. Right now I’m praying that God will help me learn to carve more and more time out of my busy day for Him. I want to learn how to pray continually as the Bible says as I go throughout my day aware of His presence in my life. My daughters are 8 and 10 years old and I’ve recently started to teach them to take time to pray in the morning. These prayer journals would be such a blessing and would help us solidify habits and teachy girls tangibly how prayer can move mountains.
What sweet gift ideas. This would be wonderful to do with my daughter as currently she has a very tough load with her classes and we are in the midst of some of her friends facing and dealing with some very large issues, some life threatening/altering. This would be wonderful to write down and see how God moves through all of this. Thank you.
I would love to win this, particularly for my oldest daughter. We are moving to plant a church and she’s taken news of the move pretty hard. This would be so encouraging for her (and me :))
I would love this! After watching War Room I’ve started viewing prayer in a whole new way!!
I would love to win this. My daughter is a feisty, strong-willed five year old who loves to pray… And loves to keep me on my knees!
This would be great for my daughter and I. I love prayer journals!
Thank you for the opportunity to win this amazing journal. I have a 16 year old daughter. Needless to say we do not have the best relationship. I would love to have something that we could share together. Even if we dont share the journal. I have have many struggles with her. I pray everyday that she makes the right decisions and we dont go down the wrong paths. i pray that i can be the mother that she needs me to be, supportive, listening, encouraging as well as strong, and leading. thank you again.
This is perfect timing! I just finished reading Val’s book and really enjoyed it. Prayer is an area I need work on for sure.
Thank you for this opportunity!
I am not for sure if I would qualify but I am still commenting
I love this idea. I live in Romania and work with teenage girls and I think this journal would be great for them! I don’t know if its possible but would love to translate to Romanian for them to be able to use. Either way, this is great and keep up the great work!! You can check us out at http://www.glittr.ro
I love writing down my prayers and it would be wonderful to have a beautiful journal write them in.
What a great idea! A neat way to organize our prayers and something to share with others! Thanks!
My daughter just turned 15 and I would love to gift one of these gems to her. She lost a close friend in a tragic accident this last year and it has drawn her closer to the Lord, she is so inspiring to this momma!
I would love to have this sweet time with my daughter. She is only 6, but her prayers are mighty! I am thankful for the plan God has for her life.
I am at the stage of life where my work with my daughters has paid off. They have surpassed me in prayer journaling. So my prayer is that I can now catch up with them.
Fondly,
Glenda
God has really laid prayer on my heart the past year. I will be starting a bible study with my daughter soon and she would love to have a prayer journal to record her prayer requests! We would love to do it together.
With her two older siblings away at school, my youngest daughter is the only girl at home now. We’ve enjoyed some special mother-daughter time this year and these journals would be a sweet addition!
I’d like to win this so that I can use this with my 2 daughters. My prayer is that we can be a closer with each other but with God & that it won’t be such a fight to pray together or do devotions together. My desire is that it would be something that we all 3 look forward to
I love prayer journals! I have utilized them throughout various times in my life and it is during these that I see the most difference in my prayer life. This is a habit I need to consistently stick with. The fun, pretty design makes this nice. My oldest daughter will soon be 8 and I would love for this to become a regular part of her life.
Would love to win this and re-charge my prayer life, so important in our daily lives and I want to instill this in my children. Thanks!
This seems like such an amazing resource. I have 2 young adult daughters and have felt discouraged in my continually prayer for them. Having lost focus at some times of Gods power and the power of prayer. The movie war room has helped me to remember to shift my focus and gaze back to Christ and the power of prayer. This journal collection seems like a great resource in helping me in that journal.
Thank you for sharing so many great resources for all us Moms and our journey in parenting our daughters Gods way.
I have been searching for a good way to connect with the heart of my tweenage step daughter. She just started youth group at our church this year and she is searching, searching so hard right now! Her sweet spirit worries so much and a prayer journal would be an amazing resource for her to have to see that God does hear us when we cry to Him! I myself am not diligent about praying either, so we could challenge each other and share how great is Our God!
I need new life in my prayer-life as I raise my four girls! I often feel like I am drowning in my daily tasks and concerns. I want to change so I can better model walking daily with Him in peace. My eldest, a 15 year old, has recently begun journaling and would love this!
How beautiful! I think this would be a great way to encourage good prayer habits in my 8 year old daughter! And reinforce them in myself!
With three daughters, I feel like I could pray all the time and it would never be enough. This would help me focus my prayers where they need to be.
Adding my email! sylviarbaker at gmail dot com
Thank you!
Would love these both. God has laid a heavy burden on me to pray more for my daughter over the last year and now with her starting high school it is so much more. I would love to keep a journal to see His mighty hand moving in her life and be able to look over it and one for her to start her down the beautiful road of talking with her Savior.
I would love to do this with my mom. We live in separate states so this would be a great way to grow our faith together from afar.
I would love to have these journals. My daughter is 11 and we’ve been wanting to do something like use a prayer journal because we don’t have an extra closet for a “war room.”
As I have gotten older I find that I need more prayers in my life. They calm me. I feel like I am doing something for all those I pray for.
This week my family has learned what it is to be homeless. Through the love and compassion of our family close by we have places to stay until we can move into a house. With everything we own in a garage and a few suitcases packed we do life…..together! War room opened a wide door to my family’s heart impressing the importance of prayer. I would love this in order to guide my kids to a stronger and more faithful prayer life!!
Oh Holli, that is so hard! Praying right now that God will provide just what your family needs and that this will be a time of deepening faith and trust for your kids.
I have also struggled to make time for prayer. I have 2 girls ages 10 and 13. They are very good girls but like all kids, they have struggles and challenges. We pray with them each night but it is usually a somewhat short prayer. I would love to have one of these prayer journals so our girls, my husband and I can see how God is working in their lives and also our family’s life! I would like to briefly share a answered prayer, that I admittedly, doubted God would ever answer. Well, He did, and boy was it quick! I started praying at the beginning of her 6th grade school year and by the middle of the year, He answered it! I had prayed that He would send her a godly friend! Well, He did just that! She is in 8th grade now and her faith continues to grow! Thank you God for answered prayer! It would have been so cool if we had a prayer journal that we had recorded our prayer for her and that we could go back and look at God answering that prayer for her. I look forward to starting a prayer journal and giving our girls one too so they can begin developing a habit of recording their prayers and seeing how God has worked in their lives!
At times when the day is rushed and I’m scanning my inbox I see your email and save it for later as to ponder the message. This day however I have the the time. I’m recuperating from a bilateral mastectomy.
My oldest daughter (42) & (with 6 children) was diagnosed with breast cancer. Because of her age and our family history of rampant cancer; they wanted do run the BRCA DNA test on her. And yes she came back BRCA1 positive with a very aggressive triple negative type of cancer. Thus the reason for my surgery. This daughter is looking toward a hysterectomy in late October. Thankfully my youngest daughter tested negative. God is so amazing and ever present. My prayer would be for an uneventful, no surprises surgery for her in October. And that this cancer doesn’t return. Thank you for your ministry.
Oh Vickie, I just prayed for you and for your daughters. God bless you as you recover from surgery and all that may be to come.
I love, love, love these! Just last night, my husband shared with me that he would like us to start praying together for our kids! Oh how I have wanted this for years! I asked him if he would like to be spontaneous and he said he would like to write them down!
Sounds like I need to get a journal!
I have 2 daughters, one 12 and one 5 months. I would love to encourage her to have a prayer journal. I have had one but never consistent. I know the change it had made in me even tho I have been faithful in it. I believe it would help her as well! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to possibly win!
What beautiful journals! My daughter is in 6th grade, and I have been looking for a way to help her learn how to study the Bible and utilize her prayer time while also strengthening our relationship. These are a great tool to do just that!
I would love to win these as I have been struggling to create and start a prayer journal of my own using a binder. I would also like to start my daughters early at ages six and seven.
So excited to check out prayer journals for kids!! Thank you for your blog: your encouragement and your convictions!!
I would love to be able to share the power of prayer with my daughter. Teaching her at such a young age that God cares and hears is an important part of her spiritual growth. Thanks for this opportunity.
Wonder if this would help me pray-it would make be intentional…and I can use that…if I can so can my 13 year old!
What an excellent resource. I lead a MOPS group and one thing we are focusing on is noticing goodness. The answered prayers section is a great way to do just that. And then say a prayer of thanksgiving!
I love to pray and pray regularly with and for my daughters. I would love to see them grow in this area and would like to enjoy the process together. The section that most interests me is the answered prayer area of the journal. I know God answers prayer but I have many situations currently where it doesn’t appear to be happening, having an area to turn towards would be of great encouragement to me.
Thanks!
Megan
I would love to have this! I think this would help me with a desire to be better at recording God at work in my life and being able to share that with my girls.
Love these journals! I’m only a few pages away from completing my current journal and my daughter has expressed interest in journal in so we’d love to have these!
These are so sweet! Would love to use one with my 3y/o daughter.
These look so great!
My answered prayer is also why I’d love a prayer journal… In January two precious kids moved into our family (son age 5 and daughter age 4) and the beginning of this month we finalized their adoption. They are an answer to so many prayers and yet the prayers have only begun on their behalf. There is so much yet for them to walk through and process in their story and our family as we we walk through this time of huge transition (going from a family of 3 to a family of 5). I’d love to be able to look back and see how got moved during this season.
As a mom of 2 teenaged daughters I’ve never sensed a more urgency to pray.
Recent events have driven my husband and I to our knees concerning our oldest daughter who will be turning 13 this Christams. I have 4 younger children coming up after her. We would love this resource!! Thank you for the opportunity!
I have always journaled but my daughter is just now getting into it. And a difference a quiet, comfy writing space and a beautiful journal make!
I would love to win a prayer journal! I have felt increased urgency about praying for my husband and children over this past year! Thank you for the opportunity!
My husband and I have five kids, only one of which is a darling daughter. She is a light and a blessing and it would be neat to give something like this to her as she turns 16 this October!
I love the idea of a prayer journal. I have been journaling for about 3 years. I get better each year and capturing the prayers in the journal. Sometimes I pray thru the day but it doesn’t get into the journal.
I love the idea of a Answered Prayers section. It really focuses you to look back at what HAS been answered and not just to look at the new things that have not been answered YET.
I would love to receive the prayer journal as well as know where I can purchase one like it.
Thank you,
Michelle
Would love these to keep or gift. They look like they would help keep prayers more organized. Thank you for this generous offer. Blessings with love in Christ. ♥
What a great resource! I would love this because it would help me organize my prayer life. My daughter is 6 and carries around a small plain notepad as her prayer journal. I’m not sure where she got the idea, but I would love to follow her lead.
As a single mom to and teenage girl with as asperger syndrome I sometimes feel alone and knowing that God is there for me is the best way to cope sometimes. I recently lost my dad and grandma within a three year period and in the middle of this I was in a car wreck and had to have surgery on my knee. I am struggling to find out who I am now that I am fatherless here on earth. My dad was so much a part of my life and was there for me in so many ways.
I would love to win this. As a mom of three in the middle of an overseas transition, I need all the help I can get keeping my family at the foot of the Throne.
I’d love to have this to help with my own prayer practice, and also to encourage my daughter - whose faith is an example to me.
These look so amazing. I would love to share them with my daughter. Lately her older brother whose autistic get a lot of extra attention, even more than usual due to circumstances. I’ve been trying different ways to connect with her and make time for her, but I know that we really need to connect more with God as a team.
I just know she would love this!!
what an amazing gift to give away! In my moms Bible study were are doing a study on prayer. Today we talked about Paul’s prayers. it was an eye opener because we surely don’t pray like that and we need to because the world is chaos.
I’m currently trying to be more specific in my prayers (to be specific in my thanks and requests). My daughter is young, but I’ve been trying to show her how we can pray “continuously” about all things. I would love something like this journal to keep track of those things we pray for.
I would love to have these for me and my three daughters, start those habits now!
weve moved a lot so my current prayer for my oldest is that she would make a few godly friends as she just started middle school and I know good friends would be such a blessing to her!
My daughter started middle school this month (and my son started high school). Im not sure i have prayed more for anything than these two the past few months.
I would love to win this because I love to journal. I love being able to look at back at all the things has answered and how he answered it. My daughter loves to journal, too.
A structured and organized way, like this, to record my prayers and how God is moving would be so great for my scattered brain.
I love your blog and would love a chance to enjoy a prayer journal
I am at a place with our (8) daughters and (3) daughter-in-laws, of feeling a strong call to constantly pray them through their lives! It would help me so much to start using this journal, to stay organized in my thoughts and prayers, and to be able to look back and see answers.
After seeing WAR Room I’ve been trying to make prayer the most important part of my day. A journal would be awesome. If I don’t win. Where can I purchase one?
You can order them at http://www.valmariepaper.com. I’ve put links in the post, so just click on one of those and you’ll get there!
I’m such a huge proponent of prayer and am passionate about teaching and encouraging others to pray. I taught about the use of my Prayer Notebook here: http://www.tinyurl.com/prayernotebook and I’m starting a Mom’s in Prayer group at my children’s school. I think it would be awesome to pass these amazing prayer journals to one of the mom’s in that prayer group. It would be a huge blessing!
Correction: http://www.tinyurl.com/prayernotebook
This is something I think about often. I usually say several short quick prayers throughout my day, but they usually center around myself and my circumstances, whether for praise or help. I’ve recently begun thinking about how to look outward more, and I think a tool like this might help me. I’d also love to share it with my young daughter in hopes that I can train her up on how to pray. I’d love to win these, but either way, I imagine I’ll be buying them for myself, my daughter, and the other women in my life soon!
I have two little girls and so badly want them to know and love the Lord! I would use the journal to help me be more focused and intentional in my prayers!
I have never used a prayer journal and I think this would help me to be more intentional in praying for my 3 girls.
I have always struggled to have a consistent daily time of prayer with the Lord. I would love to have this journal as a prompt and a starting place to help me become more consistent! My teenage daughter has also been struggling with some personal issues recently, and I would love for her to have this journal to help guide her time with Jesus. Beautiful!
I am a mother of two girls, a 15 year old and 3 year old. My oldest has overcome some confusing teen stuff. I would love to pray harder and use daily devotion for both my girls. I feel this would be great for both of us, and maybe pass down to the youngest.
We are dealing with some very specific prayers and I would love to visualize the way God answers.
I have three precious girls, and I want them to be lifted with confidence in themselves! Please I really need to devote more prayer dedication for them!
I have been feeling an overwhelming call to hit the ground and pray hard for my girls. This world is a tough place and our girls need our prayers. I would love this prayer journal!
For years I have struggled to make prayer a habit - and I think a struggle is ok, because it means we’re moving forward in it and fighting for what we know is beneficial. I want to be a faithful prayer warrior for my children, for the world they are growing up in is fighting against them.
Would love these prayer journals for my daughter and I to use together as we grow together in the Lord, as not only as mother and daughter, but sisters in Christ as well!
These look so neat. I just finished one of those “help me” prayers. I’ve been struggling with finding ways to better teach my kids about Gods word & prayer. My oldest daughter is now 8 & I feel like I could’ve done a better job than I have instructing her. I have just since this summer began the journey to develop a deep & passionate prayer life especially for my family. As part of that I have found that journaling had been a big help. It would be so neat to be able to share something like this with my daughter. Perhaps it could become not only a teaching tool but a bonding tool as well! Thanks!!
After 3 boys ( whom we love dearly!) and 10 years we were finally blessed with a daughter!! I would love to have a journal I can give to her and show her how much she was loved and prayed for!!
These are beautiful. I have just started up journaling and it has been such a sweet precious time with the Lord and I am planning on getting my kids hooked!
Mom to 4 girls…I have a lot to pray about and pray for!
These look precious! As a mom of 5 kids I have been praying for them, but I too have had an urge to pray for them now and and in the future. I pray that that their heart will follow Jesus throughout their lives. It is so much better to write down your prayers remind what God has already done for you!
oh yes! Exactly what you said!! I feel like I need to pray more, but have created habits that make it seem impossible to find the time. I bought a blank journal, I’m trying to write in it at least once a week. But to remember answered prayers is something I hadn’t thought of! I am feeling the urgency to pray for my girl, and my son, more than ever too. I want them to learn to go to the Lord for everything and not wait till their older to figure out how important it is! Just yesterday their school was under lockdown, it was scary and it was a reminder to pray hard for my babies!
This would be an amazing help. As the mother who works in ministry I sometimes struggle to remember all of those I want to pray for. I try! I write notes and sometimes lose them. This would be a great way to keep organized and grow closer to God.

My daughters are 15 and 13 and prayer is such a blessing to be able to submit my requests to our Heavenly Father for them. I’d love for them to have the opportunity to see physical evidence of prayers answered in this beautiful journal!
My daughter is turning 12 this Saturday and this would be so incredibly awesome to give to her when I take her on our Passport 2 Purity getaway in 2 weeks. Thanks for the chance!
I would love to try prayer journaling.
I would love to have these journals! I’m a mom of 4 girls ages 9,6,4, and 15mos. God has laid on my heart recently about drawing closer to Him, really loving and putting Him first in all aspects of life. This, of course, includes teaching my 4 daughters to love and develop a strong prayer life. I want people to see our family and see the love of Christ!
These journals are beautiful! Thanks for this giveaway!
I recently have felt God impressing on me that my prayer life is…lacking, to say the least. It’s the first thing that goes when I get too bogged down with life…ironic, yes. Long held beliefs that He’s just going to do whatever He’s going to do, and what difference does it make if I want to talk to Him about it…yikes!
And with my daughter having turned 9 over the summer, He’s showing me that she will learn more about praying by watching me, doing it WITH me, than anything I could ever TELL her. So these two journals would be perfect for her to start journaling about what she talks to Him about…to watch and see what He will do…and for me to start again. : )
My daughter just started college, what an awesome gift this would be to give her at the end of 4 years with all the prayers I have prayed for her and the answers God gave!
Beautiful journals! What a blessing they would be. Recently I discovered I was in a trap of deception that I had to maintain a level of “worth” for people to like me. I found myself weary and flat tired! I finally came to a place where I told God I surrender. I am not kidding…within 24 hours the passion that I once had was coming back, you see we lost our 13year old daughter in 2013 and grief can mess with you. I threw myself into a good thing but it became my thing and Jesus was placed on back burner. Just being honest….so I am praying for that passion to return and God is being faithful. This would help me stay organized in my thoughts!!
My family and I just saw War Room and it has set me on fire. I’ve been praying for my husband and children but not to the degree that I need to. I would love to win these journals. They are so beautiful!
we are applying for a court date to adopt our second son. Both of our boys are HUGE answers to prayers. We have been overwhelmed by the tremdouse support from our church body & the relationship we are building with our birth mom is pretty wonderful. I’m grateful for the small glimpses of God’s perfect plan. No matter what the outcome of the courts, we’re grateful for the time that we’ve had with him & the opportunity to love on his birth mom.
I would love to have prayer journal. What a great tool to help become the prayer warriors we are called to be. My daughter is 8.
I’ve been trying to start a prayer journal for weeks now and this is genius! It’d be so cool to have something that makes it easy to start this. I’ve got a house full of children to pray for and so much more! Thanks for this!
Oh, how I love these! I used to use prayer journals daily and fell away from the habit when my children were tiny babies. My daughter is almost 11 and these look amazing!
This would be a wonderful prayer tool.
I love the format of these & how beautiful! What a gift to win & be able to with others, too.
I haven’t been the greatest example of prayer to my daughter, mainly because I do it alone.
We watched the ese room movie, it blessed us so very much that I would love to implement a mother daughter quite and war time. This journal’s will help our strategic prayers.
I LOVE to journal, especially my prayers! Being able to look back and see how God showed up in the situation!! I would love to win and give one to my sweet friend! And they are so pretty!! I don’t ever win stuff so I’d really love to win this!!
Love the journals! They look beautiful and they are so organized. I love that they have spaces to keep track of answered prayers!
I am the momma to two girls, 3 and 3 months. I’m desperately trying to figure out how to pray for them so this was very encouraging! I would love to win because I am about to lead a group of ladies through a month of prayer and fitness as we challenge one another forward in all area of health, especially spiritual. This seems like an incredible tool for this kind of group!
My daughter turned 11 this week! We are both trying to be better in our prayer lives. We both struggle in this department, however I have taught her that, you can just talk to God as your friend, he is your friend. She is still struggling. Hopefully something like this would help us both in our prayer lives. Thank you!!!
