Praying with Teens: The Prayer Journal
The Prayer Journal allows us to pray together. Prayer requests cultivates a heart of hope and expectation; it eases anxiety, and it allows me to constantly reiterate the truth that God is listening. We approach God confidently (Hebrews 4:16) because Jesus made a way for us to freely enter God’s presence at any time (Ephesians 3:12). The Prayer Journal, then, became a foundation to help build an ongoing relationship with God and a way to talk to Him at the most basic level and helped build our faith and family conversations about God and prayer.
