It was a revelation to me when I realized God cares about our desires and puts desires in our hearts. When I understood this I started taking my desires and especially my love for art more seriously. I pray you will find encouragement in this area. - psalm 37:4 says delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
I can relate to your struggle with prayer. I love the idea of a prayer journal. A regular junk journal makes no sense tome. A waste of time. But using it as a prayer journal makes perfect sense. Now all I need to do is find stuff to make the signatures since I don’t have any books or magazines. It will work out. Thank you for this video.
You can use any paper you already have, like copy paper or notebook paper, or old notes etc. the nice thing about this kind of journal is that you can use scraps or things that relate to what you want to be praying about. Glad you’re finding the idea useful:)
Beautiful!! It's been over four decades for me, and I feel just as you do about His word and about prayer. I love what you said about glorifying Him, too, and although I pray that I glorify Him in all things and realize the IMPORTANCE of glorifying Him, I never realized what you said about how it glorifies Him to answer our prayers!! Thank you! Blessings to you always.
@@ultraviolet13881 yes, it’s so good to remember God is glorified when we ask and receive! I love those words of Jesus in John 14:13. So glad it spoke to you too.
I love that you are calling it a prayer journal. Your daughter is right it’s not junk. I create Bible study “junk journal” series on Bible journaling and Jesus. Right now I am celebrating The Birth of Jesus. #Jesusinjuly24. I am always looking to see how others incorporate their faith. Next month I am hosting a series on #beautyofGodandsunflowers Thank you for such a beautiful and thoughtful video. 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing your video. Prayer is so important. I remind myself it is direct communication with my Father Who is always waiting to hear from me. Me! Little ole’ me. Love it!!
Thank you-I feel so blessed to read your comment- sharing my faith is the main reason I’m here on UA-cam! There are so many art channels but as creativity and faith are both important to me, I’ve found this is the best way to share both.
What an absolutely amazing idea‼️ I love the idea of this prayer journal SO very much‼️ I have been wanting to start a journal n write my prayers down, improve the quality of them and really meditate about what I want to say in my prayers to our beloved Heavenly Father n this is SO far beyond what I imagined n had in mind!!! My desire is to reflect on all the many blessings that have been poured out in my behalf n to be able to read over n reflect on how God is always there n see the proof especially in rough seasons as it helps strengthen us and our faith. In fact, you n your video have inspired me to create one (or several) of my own! I want to thank you deeply from my heart❣️ Communication and conversations with God are SO absolutely very important‼️ And deserve our taking the time to write about it, live in it n with it, decorate it n celebrate it. I’m seriously SO excited n inspired n cannot thank you enough‼️🙏💜😊💜🙏
Thank you for sharing that- I can sense your excitement in your words, what a blessing to know this has inspired you so much! Yes, it’s so important to seek the Lord and deepen our prayer life- and creative people can benefit so much from using their skills and artistic talents. I hope you enjoy your time in God’s presence as you create and meditate on him:)
Wow! Thank you! I feel very encourage by listening to you. Lately I’ve really been struggling, so this was a good reminder for me to pray to Him for my needs & desires. ❤
You’re welcome, it’s a joy to share what I learn from God’s Word, and such an encouragement to know it’s reaching people like you who can appreciate it- blessings!
God led me to your channel at the perfect time and a great video! I'm a new subscriber and can not wait to make my own prayer journal and spend more time with the Lord ! Thank you so much for sharing your journal and your faith with us ! God bless you and keep you and yours!! Hugs from a Great Grandma in Kansas ❤
@@flamingogirl57 thanks for your kind words and for subscribing. So glad you are inspired to make your own prayer journal. May your time in his presence be deeply blessed:)
Thank you so much ,very encouraging to hear your story ,and to see how you made your journal ,will be making one soon for a friend, many blessings to you and your family ,Teresa in Mn
Yes - it’s a stretchy jewelry wire/elastic. Regular thin elastic would be better as it won’t cut into the thinner paper- I just used what I could find at home at the time:)
This was a prayer journal for my family so I used scraps from my kids’ drawings etc as the base of the journal, and my plan was to stick things on top of the base layer. I thought I will write out verses on other pieces of paper and stick them in. There are lots of junk journal videos around, other people like to use coordinated paper and purchased ephemera, etc, which is for a different purpose. Yes the chaotic look is not for everyone- but I deliberately chose to use actual reminders of my loved ones so that’s what it is.
That's how I've been feeling for so many years, that my desires in life don't matter. I love how you decorate your journal.

@@papercut-prayers I like writing in my journal. But I also like to paint too. When I paint, I find joy in it, that and singing too
Beautiful journal. Love that it's for Him and His blessings, transformations, etc.

@@EmpressNatiLocs thank you:)
This is beautiful! Are you using elastic or jewelry wire?
Yes - it’s a stretchy jewelry wire/elastic. Regular thin elastic would be better as it won’t cut into the thinner paper- I just used what I could find at home at the time:)
I see lots of papers that can’t be written on…how do you write out prayers? Also it seems a little chaotic…maybe just not my style.
This was a prayer journal for my family so I used scraps from my kids’ drawings etc as the base of the journal, and my plan was to stick things on top of the base layer. I thought I will write out verses on other pieces of paper and stick them in.
