One of the most nurturing things you can do to nurture your spiritual growth is to keep a prayer journal. Every day we start our day with so many hopes and ambitions, but at the end of the day, we all get so tired and frustrated that we feel lost and defeated. Many people keep journals as a hobby to give definition and structure to their life. You can also use journaling to jot down your thoughts and get clarity. A prayer journal gives you a private space to pour out all your thoughts, feelings and heart cries, and a space to record anything the Lord brings to your mind as you pray.
