Prayer
I feel like there has been a lot of things I need to pray about lately. Sometimes it's so overwhelming, I can't think of any one specific thing to pray for. The words just won't come. I have heard of people listing what they want to pray about, however, and I think doing so enables them to not only get to everything they want to get to, but it reminds them to look back and see how God has answered their prayers. I don't want to obsessive about it, but I also like to be able to look back and really see how God has answered my prayers. Also, I want to be able to walk away from the situation, so that whatever answer I feel I am getting is really from God, and not from my own desires. Writing down my prayers seems like a good way to do this.

In my classroom, we keep a prayer journal. I draw a line down the middle of the page, to make two columns. In one column we list prayer requests with a date, and directly across from that in the other column, we leave room for the answer to the prayer and a date for that as well. So the kids say things like "Hey last month we prayed for my mom's surgery, and now she's all better!" That kind of thing. It's kind of cool.
