A Tool for Your Prayer Journal

Prayer Journal Free Tool

In Chapter 2 of Organizing Your Prayer Closet, I discuss a plan of attack to address recurring sins and strongholds in my life,

“After some thought and prayer, I knew that my best weapon was going to be the Word of God. So, with my newfound issues clearly defined for me, I began to to scour the Scriptures. Did you know that Scripture addresses every type of sin we may have? Nothing gets past God. Not only did I find verses galore about the words we speak, but for every kind of pride and other issues.”

Organizing Your Prayer Closet, p. 18.

Inside the enclosed structured prayer journal – The Prayer Closet Organizer – I have a designated space where I list the things I am struggling with under the header “Freedom and Forgiveness.”  Once I have identified a stronghold or an area of weakness, I like to look up scriptures that deal with that very bad habit.  I take those scriptures and recite them during my commute to work and meditate on them throughout the day.  When an opportunity to sin rears its ugly head, I recite the scripture.  I especially use them during prayer.

“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:11

I am excited to share a helpful tool that I like to use which helps me to quickly locate such scriptures.

It’s called OpenBible.info that houses a cross-reference Bible feature.  I go to the topical search page and key in words that represent my sin, and up pops a plethora of scriptures that I can choose from.  For instance, you can key in:

Anger

Gluttony

Gossip

Greed

Lust

just to name a few!  Try it out here!

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."
