Journaling Journaling is a way to sort through your thoughts and feelings. It is also a way to keep a record of

what prayers you have offered to God. Many saints kept journals, which you can use as spiritual

reading.

 Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as you journal.

 Write about anything and everything that is moving

through your mind.

 To get started or if you draw a blank, the following are

ideas and suggestions to write about:

 Write to God what you are thankful for.

 Praise God for His wonderful works in writing.

 Ask the questions that you wonder about.

 Share your dreams with God.

Praying with Music
Praying with music is a way to pray when you don’t have words.

 Play music and focus on the feelings and thoughts that
the music brings.

 Then lift those feelings and thoughts up to God.

 For more structured prayer with music select a favorite
hymn or contemporary worship song. Choose one of
the methods below to pray the song:

 Look up the lyrics and read through the words as a
prayer.

 Write out the verses that speak most profoundly to
you as a prayer.

 Sing along to the song, paying particular attention
to the words. Sing the words as a prayer to God.
