Here’s how to use your Journal.
1. Pray
Using the Prayer List in your Rivers Crossing Journal, write down the people, situations, and plans you’re praying for. Enter the date you began praying and the date God answers it. Then, keep praying until God answers.
This 2-year Bible reading plan gets you into God’s Word every day… so you grow in hope, faith, obedience, and joy. Use this 2-year plan to learn about God and pray through the Word.
You don’t need to be a spiritual superstar to pray. Simply think of it as an everyday conversation between you and God.
There’s no one way to pray, but many people find it helpful to have a structure to follow.
Try using this P.R.A.Y. template to help guide your conversations with God.
P
Praise is esteeming God for who He is, what He can do, and what He’s done. Thank Him for how He’s working in, through, and around you.
R
Repenting involves recognizing your shortcomings and turning away from them. Don’t be afraid to bring them before God (He won’t be surprised by them!) and admit how your actions fall short of His standards.
A
God loves it when you ask Him for something. He’s like any father: He wants His children (that’s you!) to come to Him with their needs and requests.
Y
Yield. Prayer isn’t only about asking God for what you want. It’s also putting yourself in a position to desire what He wants. That involves yielding to His plan and His purpose above all else.
