Illustrated Faith Power Filled Prayer Workshop

Hello, welcome back to my blog. I recently completed the Illustrated faith Power-Filled Prayers online workshop written by Tonya Hamilton (aka: messybible on instagram). For me this class could not have come at a better time. Recently the Lord has put prayer heavily on my mind and while I always prayed, I wanted to become more organized and intentional with prayer.

Part of my journey before power-filled prayers was my best friend Christine saying hey let's go to this workshop by the reset girl. We went to her faithful girl planner workshop, and it really inspired me to better organize my prayer life. I like tactile things, and I love writing things down and referring back to things. For prayers, this also helps me to look back, days, weeks, months and maybe in the future years and see God's faithfulness and answered prayers in my life. It has lead to a more intentional and  focused daily prayer time that I am loving. I can do another blog post on my prayer binder later as I am still figuring out my style within what I have learned so far.

Back to power-filled prayers, Ms. Tonya's sweet voice takes us through praying for yourself, your family, your community and the world. How to pray scripture and really focus on certain people. This  was also inspiring to me, and since I knew the power this would have on my prayer life, I knew I wanted to include the prompts from the class in my prayer binder. I also took some of the prompts and created entries in my bible journal.

 Currently I am using the A5 platinum Carpe Diem Planner. This is my first A5 ring bound planner, and I was not sure I would like it. But i do like it, I love that I can add pages and insert pages any where I would like and if I change my mind or as my style and  needs change I can adapt easily. I love it so much I did end up ordering a custom order planner from the planner society, and it should arrive at the end of January that I plan to make my prayer binder. I do have other plans for this planner once my new one arrives that I will show later.



Taking the reset girl's class we learned to create our own dividers and we learned about her printables for prayer that I am thoroughly enjoying during my prayer time.

I knew I wanted to add a section titled power-filled prayers that I placed each week of the online class in.

 I printed each week to fit my A5 size planner. To add a little more interest to the page I added a die cut border using the avery elle postage stamp die. I also have loved using this die in my bible journal too. It comes with 4 sizes but you can also snip and trim to fit the size you need.

On the back of each week I typed out the additional verses and added them to the back, so that when I am praying for each person I have quick bible verse references I can pray the scriptures. I intentionally left a lot of white space so that over the months, years to come I add jot down notes, date and who I prayed for during each season.

 I also included the bonus Psalm mad-lib Ms. Tonya provided to keep in as a reminder too and again I left lots of white space to add to later.

 The post it flag you see on the bottom right marks my place for which page I am focusing on for the week. Example: this week here I was praying for the world for this entire week. At the beginning of the next week I will move it back to the beginning: praying for myself and continue to weekly pray for someone each week. You could also move it daily, whichever works for you.

The below 3 photo's are entries I did while working through the workshop in my bible journal. Hope your enjoyed this entry. I would love to hear your thoughts or what your prayer process is in the comments below :) God Bless
