2. How to Use the ‘Promises’ Section
God is a promise-making, promise-keeping God who delights in having his children call on him to keep his promises. Add to these pages promises that speak to your life situation. Starting with the promises of God helps us to know what to ask God for when we pray.
3. How to Use the ‘Prayers’ Section
The third section and heart of the journal is ‘Prayers’, which has three main parts: Kingdom Prayers, Prayers for Loved Ones, and Prayers for Myself. You will be personalizing each of these subsections to reflect the concerns of your heart and the people that God has placed in your sphere of influence.
3a. Sticky Notes
3b. Kingdom Prayers
3c. Prayers for Loved Ones
3d. Prayers for Myself
4. How to Use the ‘Provisions’ Section
This is a record of the significant ways God's answers to prayers have impacted you. It is the story of God's faithfulness, wisdom, and kindness in your life. When you read this in times of discouragement, you'll be called to trust in God's strength.
5. How to Use the ‘Resources’ Section
This section is full of suggestions and examples that will help you fill out the other sections. Use these as a stepping-off point for your own prayers.
Endorsements
“Our love for the Lord deepens immensely when our prayers are Scripture-filled and when our prayer time is structured. And yet, I’ve often been haunted by that one crucial question: How? The Pour Out Your Heart Prayer Journal is a beautiful tool designed to train believers to thoughtfully cultivate a prayer life that is both Scripture-shaped and deeply personal. Lois Krogh’s approach is not heavy-handed, and yet she holds our hands just enough to guide us to develop rhythms for a lifetime of communing with the Lord.”
Caroline Saunders, author, The Story of Home and The Story of Water
​
“Often, prayer feels like a burden, like something to figure out and struggle through. I’m constantly wondering how to grow in it. And yet, as Lois Krogh reminds us, it is entirely worth the pursuit. As we pray, the more we pray; and the burden becomes ‘an unburdening of the heart.’ I love how Krogh’s journal aids this pursuit and bolsters the heart in the promises and provisions of God. I commend it to you and to anyone you know who wants to grow in communing with the Lord through prayer.”
Kristen Wetherell, author, Help for the Hungry Soul and the For the Bible Tells Me So board book series
​
“My daily prayer is often haphazard and distracted. I want to be more organized, but lists can become something to just check off. I long to more regularly and closely commune with God in prayer. Thank you, Lois, for this excellent resource! Starting with gospel truths and scriptural promises keeps the right focus, and the journal is divided into helpful sections to remember everything in prayer.”
Keri Folmar, pastor’s wife in Dubai; author

“Before learning Lois Krogh’s prayer method at a spiritual retreat, I had longed to know how to bring Scripture more fully into my prayer life. Now, having incorporated her beautiful practice of praying God’s word, I am experiencing a new intimacy with God as I speak his very own language of love, truth, and promise back to him. As I call upon him, he inclines his ear to me and sustains me with his faithfulness. Others have asked me to share how they, too, might create their own Bible prayer journals. How wonderful that the Pour Out Your Heart Prayer Journal is now available for anyone who would like to build their prayer life on the sure foundation of God’s word!”
