It doesn’t matter how much we want to pray more, making it actually happen is hard because it’s noisy out there. Even behind closed doors of our prayer closet, our mind can still keep us distracted. Maybe these are your goals for your prayer life too:
PRAY MORE / ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS / FIND FOCUS
AND ULTIMATELY EXPERIENCE A DEEPER CONNECTION WITH GOD
In 2013, after getting pregnant and finding, even more, reasons to worry, our founder, Val, searched for something that could organize her thoughts and help her turn those worries into prayers. When she couldn’t find what she was looking for, she designed it. It took that mush of a pregnancy brain from staring at blank walls during prayer time to mountain-moving sessions with God and a pregnancy and transition to motherhood that she could never have dreamed was possible.
How different would life be if:
- Prayer time didn’t feel like a chore?
- You felt equipped instead of aimless when you sat down each morning to pray?
- Conversations with God happened naturally even while cooking dinner or sitting in traffic?
- You experienced peace and joy that God promises us when we live life in His presence?
- Answered prayers started radically changing your life?
THIS ISN’T SOME PIE-IN-THE-SKY DREAM. IT’S ALL POSSIBLE.
WE KNOW BECAUSE WE’VE EXPERIENCED IT AND WE ARE GIDDY WITH EXCITEMENT TO HELP YOU EXPERIENCE IT, TOO.
Here are the top 8 benefits of using our prayer journals (according to our customers!):
- More focused prayer time
- A bigger passion for prayer
- Less anxiety and more faith
- Being able to look back and see how God has answered prayers
- Feeling dialed into prayer and not distracted and just checking off a box
- Deeper friendships because they are intentionally praying for each other each month
- Actually praying for the things you tell people you will pray for
- It’s structured enough to keep focused, but flexible enough to make your own
It’s silly but when Val originally designed the first journal, she hoped to sell 50. She had no idea anyone else struggled the way she did or felt so defeated in something that is so vital to life. But after almost 7 years and nearly 100,000 prayer journals sold and an overflowing folder of thank yous from customers, we are convinced: We’re not the only ones who are willing to fight for and invest in a thriving prayer life.
GET A JOURNAL
We know all the questions going through your head as you figure out whether you should purchase a journal because we’ve been there too. Our heart isn’t to simply get prayer journals in your shopping cart, we want them to radically change your heart.
For that reason, here are some thoughts:
DO I WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON ANOTHER JOURNAL?
Your relationship with God is worth investing in. For the price of a shirt on the clearance rack at the Gap, you could say yes to a tool that can impact your life and the lives of all those you want to pray for. Maybe our product isn’t the right fit for you. That’s totally fine. Just know your prayer life is worth investing in. We have had countless people email us to say this little journal has changed their life. We can’t tell you how many people have called our $16 journal PRICELESS. If you are ready, for a change, take the plunge.
WILL I USE IT?
We can’t promise you that you will form a habit of prayer right away, because that’s ultimately up to you. But we can tell you that thousands of people just like you have shared how transformational it’s been to have a simple, structured place to return to each day. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be willing to start. And this journal makes it easier to show up again and again.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PRAYER JOURNALS ON THE MARKET?
Our journals are straightforward and simple. Our prayer journal was the first monthly prompted journal of its kind. As imitations have popped up, we have noticed a trend of making them more complicated as they try to differentiate. Val even felt some pressure to add lots of other non-prayer related features to compete. But ultimately God reminded her of the purpose we started with. This is what sets ours apart, a format/function (fill out once a month) and design (clean with no distracting graphics) that will make it easy for you to pick up when you have 5 minutes to spare. Ultimately, we know if it’s too overwhelming, we won’t use it. With our journal, you know when you crack it open, you can focus on one thing: communing with God.
WILL IT REALLY HELP MY PRAYER LIFE?
That’s completely up to you. Whether you get our 6-month undated prayer journal, yearly journal or Signature journal, we want you to commit to one solid month of using it and then decide whether it’s for you long term. Those that we have talked to that HAVE used it consistently have seen God work tremendously. This is our prayer for you too!
IS IT WEIRD TO GIFT THESE TO PEOPLE?
Not at all!! This is such a great gift that is relatively inexpensive, but still super thoughtful and intentional. We have people come back every year and say they first got these as a Christmas or birthday gift and it meant so much that they return to buy it for all their friends too!
