The Benefits of Keeping a Prayer Journal
Rachel Forton - Apr 14, 2021
Keeping a prayer journal allows you to forever remember the beautiful ways God speaks to you in prayer and daily living, and even to pass down to future generations those stories of God’s particular faithfulness to you and your family.
