Because we release a yearly product, the Val Marie Paper prayer journal, we have some extra excitement around this time seeing our customers look back on what God has done and develop new habits of prayer in a fresh year. This week, we’ll visit with several avid users of our journal about their experiences, talk about how you can make journaling a consistent part of your life, and pray over the new year together.

Ep. 39: How To Use a Prayer Journal
This episode is for anyone who is tired of having “pray more” on their list of goals or resolutions for a new year. We want to offer you a new way to move the needle in this all-important goal. Praying more isn’t simply a good idea for some. It has the power to change everything. It has the power to change our circumstances, our families and mostly, our heart. Those are no small things.
So because of that, we’re going to be a little obvious today about what we think will help you pray more in the new year. 😉
