When we pause (difficult in this busy world) and look back at what God has done, we’re often surprised that it’s more than we first recognized. This week, we are exploring the importance of looking back at answered prayers with gratitude. Our interview this week is with Lindsay Ayers, long-time journal user and attorney in Washington D.C. She recounts the goodness of the Lord in her own life and her passion for prayer is sure to ignite a fire in us. Next, Val will give a practical tutorial on exactly how to start tracking God’s work in your own life. And lastly, we have a guided prayer for Thanksgiving–a response to all God has done!

Ep. 29: How To Track Answered Prayers
God is always working, but if we’re not intentional about looking around, we just might miss it. The place to record answered prayers has become a favorite section in our prayer journals and for good reason. Tracking how we see God work (even if it’s not how we expected) builds our faith and leaves a legacy for those who come after us. In this episode, I’m sharing how you can start tracking answered prayers today.

Ep. 30: A Prayer for Thanksgiving
We’re releasing this episode on Thanksgiving Day, however, this prayer is just about as “every day” as it gets! A heart of gratitude is essential for remembering who we are, who He is, and how we’re meant to live.
Here is a guided prayer to get you started:
- Picture yourself kneeling before our Almighty God and reflect on His power.
- Confess any ways you’ve forgotten you are His and tried to go your own way.
- Meditate on ways the Lord has been good to you.
- Pray for your future generations to know and worship God with thanksgiving.
