"Depth of Character – Aligned with Purpose" – JSP
I have been in the habit of journaling since October 1980. After a time I began keeping a prayer journal where I would often write out my prayers and pray them to God. At other times I would rewrite a Psalm or some other passage from the bible as a declaration of God’s thoughts toward people. All that appear on the pages below are from the collection of my own written prayers and declarations. Some I have written and prayed for myself, while some were written and posted for others. I will be adding prayers (some old and some new) from time to time. It is my prayer that you will not only be helped by them, but that you might even be inspired to begin writing some of your own. Enjoy the journey!
