Welcome to my prayer blog. As I shared here and here and here, I have been on a prayer journey for probably almost 2 years. This is a desire God has placed on my heart over the last few months. And I have learned a lot just in the short time I have been trying to pray more regularly. What I have found is having a prayer partner is key, praying without ceasing can change your life, obeying God puts my heart at ease. So with those three things in mind, I am launching a new part of my blog. I will figure it out as I go along. But here is the basic premise: I want to be your prayer partner. I want to dive into the Word to discover the richness of prayer. I want to make my walk with God closer than ever by having a running conversation with Him. I want to learn how to pray first, then try to sort things out instead of trying to sort things out and using prayer as a last resort.
My week will run Tuesday through Monday. Tuesday is first day of the week that I really get focus on this blog so come back here on Tuesdays to find out what is going on for the week.
But I am going to start simple (because trying to make it complicated is giving me an excuse to delay): I will have different categories that you can leave a comment on. Feel free to come back to my Tuesday posts during the week to add more requests. I will check regularly. If that is all you want to do, that is great. Know that I am praying for you throughout the week. If you feel the calling to pray for people who have left requests, then please do. We can all use extra prayer. If you want to add notes of encouragement, that is even better. If you feel this is helpful and that you know someone who could benefit from being prayed over, pass the link on to them.
Each week I will have a post for:
Prayer Requests
Praises - can be prayers answered or just a general praise for something that happened that blessed you that week
My thoughts - this will be me working my way through scripture or other things, giving what I feel I have learned about prayer. Don't take this as gold, it is just my opinion on what God is working on my heart
Special Prayer Topic - I am not sure I will do this every week but I will try to have a topic to focus some prayer on throughout the week that I will also be focusing my prayer on.
God can do amazing things when we pray. Not only to the people we are praying for, but our own lives will be transformed.
I really hope you will take this journey with me. I am excited to see where God is leading me with this.

Great post. I love this idea. Right now you can pray for Emma who is sick and her mama who is so tired that I can't even think straight. I look forward to reading more post.
Thanks for sharing Kristin. I too love this idea and there is power and healing in community. Knowing that someone is walking along side you in the journey can make all the difference.
Hope Emma is feeling better and Sarah has been able to get some rest! Will be joining you in prayer for them both.
Well I hit the publish button too soon.
My prayer request is for Aimee. She is such a trooper but very very tired. Today she goes in for a one dose radiation treatment for 3 tumors that showed some growth in the brain. It is just a one round thankfully and that should take care of it but she will be exhausted as a result.
Her eyes are still bothering her and they have found swelling in the brain from the radiation and it is causing double vision, headaches etc.
Prayer not only for her health but for the family. That hat they would grow closer together as a family but also deepen their relationship with God.
