Make a Prayer Journal

Here is an easy, inexpensive way to make a personal prayer journal.

Step 1: Get Supplies. You will need a 9.75" x 7.5" composition book and a piece of self-stick contact paper cut to 12" x 10". Be sure to choose a color you like!

Step 2: Cover the Journal. Lay the contact paper with the decorative side down. Open your journal and lay it in the middle. Carefully cut triangles at each corner and in the middle of each long side (check out the picture to see how to cut). Peel away half of the backing on the contact paper and stick the paper to the back cover of your journal, folding in the flaps. Close your journal and then do the same with the front cover.

Step 3: Personalize It! Use markers, stickers, or anything that will make your journal your very own!

Step 4: Use It! Once you've made your journal, don't leave it in a drawer. Keep it in a safe place and use it every day to record your prayers and answers to prayers. Who knows? Maybe it will be an encouragement to someone many years from now!
