This is a manual on how to pray. It is simply a description of how to spend time daily in effective, life-changing prayer.

The A.C.T.S. of Prayer Journal is for Christians at all stages of their Christian life. For those who are new to the faith, it provides for them helpful steps that will aid them in their beginning walk with the Lord. For the maturing Christian, it will help them regain focus on their prayer life. For many, it is a resource to help revitalize their passion for serving the Lord through prayer. It is a must for all Christians who are serious about developing, maintaining and improving a crucial part of their daily Christian life.

"I would like to write a beautiful prayer," writes the young Flannery O'Connor in this deeply spiritual journal, recently discovered among her papers in Georgia. "There is a whole sensible world around me that I should be able to turn to Your praise." Written between 1946 and 1947 while O'Connor was a student far from home at the University of Iowa, A Prayer Journal is a rare portal into the interior life of the great writer. Not only does it map O'Connor's singular relationship with the divine, but it shows how entwined her literary desire was with her yearning for God. "I must write down that I am to be an artist. Not in the sense of aesthetic frippery but in the sense of aesthetic craftsmanship; otherwise I will feel my loneliness continually . . . I do not want to be lonely all my life but people only make us lonelier by reminding us of God. Dear God please help me to be an artist, please let it lead to You." O'Connor could not be more plain about her literary ambition: "Please help me dear God to be a good writer and to get something else accepted," she writes. Yet she struggles with any trace of self-regard: "Don't let me ever think, dear God, that I was anything but the instrument for Your story." As W. A. Sessions, who knew O'Connor, writes in his introduction, it was no coincidence that she began writing the stories that would become her first novel, Wise Blood, during the years when she wrote these singularly imaginative Christian meditations. Including a facsimile of the entire journal in O'Connor's own hand, A Prayer Journal is the record of a brilliant young woman's coming-of-age, a cry from the heart for love, grace, and art.

The purpose of this prayer journal is to provide you with a useful resource to help your prayer life become more fruitful. I designed it to be interactive. Below each section there is space provided for you to write. By all means, write in this journal. Record your own prayers, prayer requests, answers to prayers, notes, thoughts, whatever comes to mind. Instead of trying to tackle all the areas of prayer in one sitting, spread them throughout the week. Moving slowly and intentionally will hopefully give you time to truly meditate on the verses, prayers, and prayer prompts provided. A caveat: This prayer journal is your servant, not your master. Use it in any way that is helpful to you, but do not feel enslaved to it. There's an old saying that goes: "the method you use is the method that works." My prayer for you is that using this prayer journal will serve you in growing closer to the Lord and maturing in your faith, in whatever way you make use of it.
