I will wait for him to answer my prayer.

Setting Up a Prayer & Praise Journal

Part 3

Birthdate Prayer

Prayer

Today we will be entering the third item under prayer.  Yesterday we entered:  Personal and Family. 

Family Birthdate is where I pray a special blessing on our immediate family:  (parents, children, inlaws, grandchildren).

Family Birthdate

If the day is a birthday anniversary for Cerwin, our children, their spouses, our grandchildren, or our mothers, I add this prayer for their life.  Some days I have more than one special birth request. 

For instance: Cerwin was born on April 22, so his special request is in the folder numbered 22. I suggest you add this prayer on the master page. It will be easier to delete if not needed, then to add later.  Choose wording you prefer.  Mine is something like this – depending on the age or sex of the person.

Be a special blessing to [name] today – on her birthday anniversary.  Give her special wisdom, guidance, and power as a woman – as a wife – as a mother – as a daughter – as a sister – as a friend

or

Give him special wisdom, guidance and power as a man – as a son – as a brother – as a grandson – as a friend.

I may add personal needs that I know of or that they have asked me to pray about. 

Keep it general at this point – this is only your master.

I suggest you make a paper list of your family’s birthdates – by date.  You will be updating this as you go through the month of February.  Your prayer journal will not be complete until the end of February.  As a matter of fact, it will never be complete.  I make changes almost every day (add, move, delete).

Review your master prayer & praise journal at this point.  Proof your wording.  Remember this is your master page.  We will eventually copy and paste this thirty times.
