Computer/app Prayer Journal

[scottmcc2]

Does anyone use the computer/phone etc to keep track of their prayers?

I have tried journal books and loose leaf notebooks and get bogged down.
I would like to try keeping track on a computer or phone.

Does anyone use OneNote as a prayer journal. I may like to use this because I can edit it from my PC and refer to it throughout the day on my phone. Any ideas on how to set it up by subjects?

I tend to use a physical book with an appropriate design as a prayer journal. I love writing prayers and am able to express myself through it. I find it easier than spoken prayers at times. I've never thought about using apps for it or OneNote (I honestly don't know how to use it). I guess I didn't feel the need. I can understand feeling bogged down, especially when a lot is going through your head. Maybe you should try doodling or something creative? If you're not much for that, then try doing something systematic, like organizing things. I find it easier to pray out loud when I feel like I'm filtering through my thoughts better. I don't know why, but it seems to work. Finally, I'll often just talk to God as I'm reading Scripture. Sort of like a commentary and a conversation in one, and I use sticky notes to write things down and place them where they relate to the story. All of this just to maintain conversation with Him, and it's quite fun too.

Shadowin,
I may keep my time with God in a book and use digital for requests.
I don't write my prayers but I do, at times, write Psalms to God.

I like your idea of reading and talking to God through the Bible.

This is interesting. I use CherryTree as my note taker, but any of them would work. And it could be password protected. The idea would be to create categories for the different prayers?
