Pray enables us to have a greater sense of peace, ask for guidance, ask for protection, and tap into an omnipotent source of power. These questions can be answered, and faith can be enhanced through a prayer log.
Faith can feel like an intangible presence at times.
Of course this is the time when prayer is most useful. A prayer log can help in this situation. Being able to look at the ways that God has worked in your life can be supportive when the going gets rough. A prayer list can be as simple as a list taped to your refrigerator, or as complicated as a spreadsheet that is updated continuously on your computer. It is up to you and your individual style.
