When I decided to get my prayer life organized earlier this year, I really didn’t know where to start. I just knew I needed something new to ignite my prayer life. My method of jotting down a list of prayer requests wasn’t working for me anymore and I needed a change. I searched online and in stores for a prompted prayer journal but couldn’t find anything I liked. So I did what any girl would do and created my own. You know I can’t wait to share them with you today, right?
Of course I want to share them with you because I know what it’s like to be frustrated and not able to find what you want. Most of the options I found in my search for a prayer journal were simply blank journals with inspirational covers meant for journaling, which was not what I was looking for. I wanted something to help me focus on my prayer needs for the month plus give me space to record other things on my mind and heart. I wanted to make sure I was praying for the important people and areas of my life intentionally and with purpose. What better way to do that than with a plan?
Let me give you the run down of the sections I created for my monthly prayer journal and how to use them.
Scripture Verse
It starts out with a section to record a verse to memorize or focus on in prayer for the month.
Praise & Thanksgiving
It’s great to start out your time planning your prayers by thanking God for His goodness, so use this space to jot those praises down.
What’s On My Heart
Is your heart burdened about something? Is there a prayer need you feel is utmost important? Here’s your chance to unload your thoughts.
Prayers for the World
What world needs will you pray for this month? Is there a particular country or area of the world to focus on, or worldwide needs?
Prayers for My Nation
How can you pray for your nation this month? Write out prayers for your leaders or prayer concerns for your nation and/or state.
Prayers for My Family
What family prayer needs will you focus on this month?
Prayers for My Friends
Which friends need you to blanket them in prayer this month?
Prayers for Myself
What prayer needs do YOU have this month? Which areas of your life are you struggling with? Do you have questions that you need answered?
Prayers for My Church
How will you pray for your church? Pray for mission trips, finances, whatever God lays on your heart for the month.
Etc.
Here’s a section to pray for anything not included above. Perhaps it’s a space to write down prayers for your school or your community. It’s up to you!
Answered Prayers
This is the most exciting part…a place to jot down answers to prayer! Maybe you want to use this space to write down prayers as they’re answered throughout the month, or you can choose to journal about the prayers answered from last month. Again, it’s your choice. Make these printables your own!
Notes
There’s a note page to give you space to write down anything that comes to mind during your prayer time throughout the month. Write down any insights, scriptures, etc.
Prayer Prompt Pages
Do you sometimes find it hard to pray for someone, or maybe even yourself? I’ve included Prayer Prompt Pages to get you started. There are pages titled My Husband, My Children, My Family and Myself. These prayer prompts are meant to inspire you and give you options when praying over people in your life.
The best thing about the Prayer Prompt Pages is that you get to choose how you use them. Maybe you want to focus on praying for one need each day, checking them off as you go throughout the month. Or maybe you decide to highlight and focus on just a few for the month. There is no right or wrong way to use them, they are included just as an added resource.
When I shared the pages I created with my friends, they thought I’d planned to sell them. But since these printables are meant to inspire you to ignite your prayer life, which I pray they do, I want you to have them for free. All I ask is that you sign up for my newsletter for access. It’s a way we can stay in touch and I can keep you up to date with all that’s happening at Sparkles of Sunshine. I’ve added the Prayer Journal Free Printables to my resource library where you’ll find lots of other printables to help you in life, too.

Thank you for this prayer journal printable! I was wondering if you can make a sheet for “My Wife” . My husband would like a prayer journal for himself! Thank you if you can! <3
Hi Mandi,
Thanks so much for the heads up. I love that the hubby wants one, too! I’ll get working on it and will let you know when it’s completed and added.
Blessings,
Christie
I am also having trouble printing these! Sorry! I signed up and received a confirmation email but no password. Help! Thanks! 😊
Hi Melissa,
Your email hasn’t been subscribed, so I’d check my spam folder to see if the confirmation email went there. If you can’t find it I’d try subscribing again.
Thanks,
Christie
I have also subscribed, received a confirmation email and returned it – then received confirmation that I am subscribed. So far no email with password included. I like the looks of your printable, but unable to print them.
Hi, Joann. If you’re subscribed, be sure to check out the latest email I sent out today. The password is included in every email, just in case you forget it. Thanks!
I love this journal. One of my resolutions is to be more in prayer daily! How can I print these off though?
Thank you so much and God bless you and yours,
Amanda
Hi Amanda,

How long does it usually take to get the email for the newsletter/downloads? I submitted my info this morning but haven’t received anything yet. Thanks!
Hi Jen,
I checked and your email isn’t on the subscriber list. Be sure to check your spam folder for the confirmation email. If you can’t find it try signing up again.
Thanks,
Christie
I’m excited to use these pages! I’m looking to transform my prayer life, I think these will help!
Thank you!
Lisa, I’m so happy you plan on using these to enrich your prayer life. I know God will meet you right where you are. Enjoy! Christie
Hi Christie, I thought I was good with computers until I tried to download and print your prayer journal sample. Even after I put in my password, all I get is the page to download the extension and when I click on it I get a search page that doesn’t know your prayer journal. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Melody,
I sent you an email regarding this today. I would try opening in a new browser and saving the document to your computer.
Thanks,
Christie
Hi, I can’t seem to find how to download the pages, could you tell me how ? Thanks !
Where do I find to sign up for the news letter?
Where can I find the prayer prompt pages? Thanks!
They are in the printable library for subscribers.
Looking forward to getting your posts.
Thanks, Edith!

Hi Jennifer, you can visit my post about discbound notebooks to get more info. Here is the link: https://www.sparklesofsunshine.com/discbound-system/

Thank you
Hi Christie! I know I need to do something different to be an organized prayer warrior. I read your post about how you use the prayer pages (which are the nicest I’ve seen and believe me I’ve been all over the web!). In thinking about how to organize my prayer pages I first thought about doing weekly ones…but noticed yours are monthly. Can you explain a little more how that works? Do you pray the same requests for an entire month? I’m not quite wrapping my head around how many things I would pray for. And, of course, I want to pray for my family each day…and I assume you do too, so how does that fit in> Just not wrapping my head around the specifics of how you use it. Forgive me if you covered it and I missed it. I am very organized in most other parts of my life, but my prayer life remains haphazard and this should not be!
Thank you for sharing you talent, hard work and inspiration.
Do you have a cover that matches the monthly prayer journal pages? with the arrow and such?
Not yet, but thanks for the idea, Jodi!
Hi Christie – Im really having trouble with the downloads. Ive subscribed to your newsletter a bunch of times but never receive a confirmation email. Nothing in spam either. I REALLY want to get those downloads. I’ll even pay for them!!!!
Hi Jean, I’m sorry you are having trouble. I checked your email address and it says you cancelled so I’m not sure what’s going on. It may have something to do with your email provider. I’m looking into it!
Hi Christie – I’m really frustrated, having trouble, unable to download. I subscribed to your newsletter, I received a confirmation email and followed all the steps but there are no pages to download. I did this on two computers and still unable to download the prayer journal pages. Appreciate your help!!!
Hi Karen, scroll down to the bottom of the latest weekly newsletter. It has the link and password to the library with the free printables. Once you log in and scroll down you will see the names of the printables. Click on the one you want to download and print.
I honestly cannot wait to receive the free printable in my email. Getting closer to God spiritually & physically. I believe this will be so much help when I start college in the fall. So not only am I reading the word but in a neat, cute way. I love the idea and cannot wait to start using this!!
It’s working for me now! I guess I had computer issues! Thanks again for this great prayer journal!
I’m so glad you like it, Candice!
Good Morning Beautiful!!!!!!!!!💕😇💕
Ms. Chrisie,
It is my honor to extend my gratitude towards you & your talents!! This could not have happened to me at a better time. I was at Bible Study Wednesday night. I was called upon to lead prayer. I felt as though I was not effective or efficient enough, even though all members say they were blessed from my prayer.
Then the very next day I was in my quite time with Our Heavenly Father. And I was lead to your website. It just popped up out of nowhere!! When I tell you I was rejoycing all over my kitchen!! This was pure fate!!
I had been praying to God to allow His Holy Spirit to use me, my talents, and my spiritual gifts as His willing vessel through my passion for prayer to His people. So that I could bless others as He has always blessed me.
I truly am grateful for your vision and sharing your talents with the world. May the Lord continue to bless the works of thy hands for His Glory!!!!!!!
👑📿🕊📖👑
Love you with a sincere and grateful heart……
Peace🌍 & Love💝
