What does prayer look like?

What kinds of things should I pray about?

Do my prayers matter to God? And does He really hear every word I pray?

Discover the power of prayer with this fun and creative prayer journal that guides you to create your very own prayer map—as you write out specific thoughts, ideas, and lists, which you can follow (from start to finish!)—as you talk to God. (Be sure to write the date on each one of your prayer maps so you can look back over time and see how God is working in your life!)

The Prayer Map journal will not only encourage you to spend time talking with God about the things that matter most (to you and to Him!). . .it will also help you make daily prayer a habit—for life!
