Day 6 of 21 Days of Prayer Journaling


Day SIX:

Here's the Lord's invitation to you before you start...

Get away with me:  Go somewhere you can get away from distractions & it’s easy to think. If you aren't planning to play worship music in the background, consider putting your phone away. If you are playing music, consider placing your phone face down.

Undivided Attention: Ask the Lord to remove all the noise & distractions in your mind. Some days are harder to set it all down, so try praying over your heart and mind something like this, 

"There's enough time for the day and the tasks ahead, even if it doesn't feel like it. I lay it all down and I call my heart and mind to attention in the Lord's presence. Jesus, you have my full attention. If distraction comes, help me to remain uninvolved with anything that may interrupt this one on one time we've set aside for just us."
 
Journal Prompt: Write a response to the daily prompt.

Tell the Lord about something you're really proud of. If you're not sure how to start, try writing it like a letter. 

Lord, something I'm really proud of is...


Listen: Take time to listen for the Lord's response to what you shared with him. Maybe you hear him speaking to your spirit. Maybe he brings a scripture to mind. Perhaps it's just silence. If you aren't sure but you think you hear him, write it down. Then pray, "Lord if any of this was not from you let it fall away". If you're not sure you're hearing anything after a minute or two, don't stress over it and move on.
 
Worship: Take a few minutes to meditate on the scripture and write it down. Note if there is a command, promise or wisdom in the verse. 

Proverbs 21: 21

Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor."

Closing Prayer: Lord, continue to show me what it means to pursue your righteousness and love. Holy spirit attune my heart and mind to seek these things through reading your word and walking out my day with you. May my heart continually be looking to you, Jesus. I know where you are, though it may not always look like what I think it will, I know that where you are there is life, prosperity and honor because your ways are higher and you leading me in the way of the Kingdom.

See you tomorrow for day seven!
