Finally I needed a design for prayer that kept me focused!  So every single day for over 24 years, I have had an appointment with God—in writing!  By using My Partner Prayer Notebook, a 3-ringed, refillable notebook as a tool that includes 10 sections for written conversations with God, I have developed a passion for prayer—and never missed my hour of power. 

I’ve found that it doesn’t take spirituality to pray one hour a day—it just takes time.  Daily I talk to God through prayers of Praise, Admission, Requests, and Thanks.  Then I listen to Him, by recording His words in sections titled Listening, Messages, New Testament, Old Testament, Proverbs, all the while recording any “marching orders” I receive during the hour in a final To Do section of my notebook.

When I made a decision to pray the “write” way, I stopped falling asleep or day-dreaming.  I also found that written prayer proves that God answers prayer!  This has been the significant and necessary motivation to keep me coming back day after day! 

I am living proof that if you discover for prayer for what it really is—a conversation with the One who loves you most—and decide to pray using a design for prayer that keeps you coming back, you will be a passionate, powerful and effective pray-er! 

Frankly, if I (someone who can barely sit still or be quiet for 10 minutes) can do it…you can do it, too!  It starts with your time.
