Journaling is an important part of your 40-day prayer and fasting journey.
When you take time to write what you are hearing from God and put your thoughts, feelings, prayers, and reflections on paper, it not only encourages you during this time, but deepens your relationship with God. Later, when you experience a challenge or difficulty, read your journal and experience God.
