Easy Prayer Petition Organizer

Prayer Request Organizer, Prayer Closet, Prayer Journal,

If we are diligent in keeping track of our prayer petitions, and hopefully we will take such care to, it may very well become overwhelming.  That was the case for me when I became more dedicated in keeping up with prayer requests.  Then, I came across this scripture and saw it in a more helpful light than its face-value message of persistence in prayer:

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you”. Psalm 7:7

Here is what I do – After making a list of prayer requests, I often write one of three letters beside each one.  I may write an “A” for Ask, an “S” for Seek, or “K” for Knock.

I write an “A” for those prayer needs that are the most heart-wrenching and out of my control.  When there is nothing else to be done, I simply pray that God will intervene, in which case, I can only Ask.  When I say “only Ask”, I still fast at times, pray God’s Word and ask others to intercede for me.

I write an “S” beside the requests where I am in need of guidance over a matter.  Maybe I have hit a snag in parenting.  Perhaps I am in a dilemma over rather or not to change jobs.  It is such needs as these that are typically time sensitive.  As such, I commit my time in God’s Word, looking to my husband for guidance and at times seeking counsel with Godly mentors.

I write a “K” beside my petitions that require some action on my part.  I cannot pray for someone to receive salvation if I am not willing to share Jesus with them.  What good does it do to pray that my friends reconcile if I am not willing to be a peacemaker, and give aid to their reconciliation.

Even though my words and entries in my prayer journal are “to be few”, that does not mean that my actions are to be also.  It is through this method that I have become much more engaged in my prayer life. I hope it will do the same for you!

Please see my PowerPoint of a more detailed presentation of this A,S or K? Method.

Recognition

"I have been using Gina's Organizing Your Prayer Closet book for several weeks now, and I LOVE it! It is truly a life-changing way to pray. As one reviewer already said, you could just make your own prayer journal, but you would miss out on Gina's wonderfully transparent and educational chapters. Using the workbook section of the book, I have already had my eyes widely opened to what God is doing in my life and how HE is speaking to me! These are things I have been missing by my old haphazard way of praying. In terms of how this book will change my prayer life, I would compare it to the way Henry Blackaby's study, Experiencing God impacted my relationship with the Lord."

Other Resources

"Gina Duke has written a great guide to the process of getting a book published. Her experience in the publishing industry is transferred to the pages of this book in a format even the most inexperienced author can use and benefit from. I found her suggestions on platform building very enlightening and her advice of starting ‘now’ is very applicable. I believe non-fiction writers might benefit from this book more than those aspiring to write fiction, but it is applicable to both categories as well as in the various genres. Christian writers will find this book especially appealing. It has made me want to read her book titled Organizing Your Prayer Closet. Ms. Duke certainly has some very unique and usable ideas and I appreciate her generosity in sharing them with others."
