Daily Prayer Journal

WELCOME Look forward to waking up every morning! The Daily Prayer Journal
helps you speak with Jesus first thing in the morning so you’re ready to
take on the day, no matter how long and arduous it is, and the last thing
at night to help you unwind before bed.

BENEFITS The Bible tells us to practice gratitude and countless


G R AT I T U D E :
studies have shown the benefits of gratitude on our brains: UC
Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center and Harvard Health, just to
name a couple.

“...be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your
life in union with Christ Jesus.”
1 T H E S S A L O N I A N S 5 : 1 8 (GNT)

There is something truly transformative about putting


P E N - TO - PA P E R :
down your thoughts from pen to paper that writing in an app on your
phone can’t match. A research study from Princeton (2014) found that
students who took notes by hand consistently scored higher than those
who took notes on a laptop. As good as technology gets, it just doesn’t
beat pen and paper.

There aren’t many moments in our day where


D I S T R AC T I O N F R E E :
we have time to truly be grateful and speak with our Lord. Whether it’s
an email from our boss, a text from a co-worker or a notification to
“like” a picture your friend took, we can’t focus on Jesus without being
interrupted by our devices.
