Today\u2019s guest blogger is Jeanette Levellie, author of <\/em>Touchable God: Finding the Lord’s Friendship Through Prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSandy told me I should keep a journal about this horrible time I\u2019m walking through,\u201d I told my friend Rachel, \u201cbut it\u2019s just too painful to write about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rachel agreed with Sandy. \u201cEven if you write just one sentence a day, it will help you get a grip on your feelings, and that\u2019ll be a start. You don\u2019t have to write a book; just a sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n

When I finally took their advice, I was amazed at how much healing I experienced because of this simple yet powerful exercise. It\u2019s become a soothing friend in my anguish, a haven to run to when I\u2019m overwhelmed. And since no else sees it, it\u2019s safe from anyone who might be offended by my candor.<\/p>\n

What factors about journaling our prayers<\/a> help us when we\u2019re in the midst of a super-sized problem?<\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s Cathartic<\/strong>
\nGetting our feelings and impressions down on paper allows us to analyze our situation objectively. As long as our emotions stay locked away in our souls, we can\u2019t find answers for what hurts. When we allow ourselves to say, \u201cI\u2019m mad at Mom when she embarrasses me in public,\u201d or \u201cMy kid\u2019s choices scare me,\u201d we can begin to seek the healing we need.<\/p>\n

2. It\u2019s Empowering<\/strong>
\nWhen we share what\u2019s been stuck inside, even if it\u2019s ugly, we\u2019re allowing God to get involved in our lives on a deeper level. We\u2019re opening our hearts to His voice\u2014thus to His wisdom and love. We might even choose to write down what we sense Him saying to us in answer to our cries. That\u2019s when we start to heal.<\/p>\n

3. It\u2019s Faith-Building<\/strong>
\nWeeks, months and years from now we have a record to look back on. We see how the Lord brought us out of calamity or gave us wisdom in a sticky situation. That builds our faith to expect Him to move again when another mountain stands in our way.<\/p>\n

4. It\u2019s Enlightening<\/strong>
\nJournaling helps us gain fresh ideas and insights. As we write, we prime the pump of creativity and ingenuity. We leave behind yesterday\u2019s thoughts and the stale, unoriginal ideas of the negative people who surround us. We open our minds to the bottomless well of God\u2019s mind and heart so He can show us how to think and behave like He does. Wow!<\/p>\n

5. It\u2019s Cheap<\/strong>
\nMy friend and fellow writer Jim Watkins reminded me of this fun benefit: \u201cJournaling is cheaper than a therapist. My journal always listens to me and never judges me, even if my ramblings could be used as possible evidence in a sanity hearing.\u201d So . . . if you can\u2019t afford a therapist (or even if you can), write down your problems\u2014as prayers\u2014and let the healing begin!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
