One lesson God really set on my heart in college is that prayer is I have always prayed through out my days, but never really dedicated a chunk of time to prayer. I decided this had to change if I wanted to grow in my faith. However I found that if I just prayed in my head a few things would happen:
- Fall asleep
- Get distracted
- Rush through my prayers
- Forget what I prayed about

To solve this problem a friend suggested that I try journaling my prayers. I instantly loved this idea! I have found that journaling my prayers allows me to:
- Stay focused
- Really elaborate on the situations I'm praying for
- Feel so intimately close to God
- Be able to look back on my prayers AND SEE WHAT GOD HAS ANSWERED!
I really began to GROW IN MY PRAYER LIFE when God used a woman named Stormie Omartian to speak to me. She is a christian author that writes books about the Power of Prayer in every aspect of our lives. She explains it in a way that completely re-energizes my desire to pray. Her books outline specific situations or qualities that we should be praying for and they are always supported with scripture.

| Just a few of her books :) $2-7 used on Amazon or FREE through your local library/I-share |
If you want to GROW CLOSER TO GOD and have a HUGE IMPACT on those around you, I highly reccommend reading one of her books. It makes starting (or reviving) your prayer life so simple!
