My prayer notebook (part 2 of 3)

Last time, I wrote about the features I’d like in my prayer notebook. This time, I’m going to write a bit about how the notebook might be organized.

Organization:

I figure there are several ways to organize my prayer notebook, including:

• Create a section for each group of people/categories (family, personal friends, church leaders, church friends, missionaries, the world, etc.), and then in each section, have a page for each person/category.
• Create a section for each day of the week. Some people/categories I will pray for daily; some weekly; some as the need arises.
• Create a section for each day of the month. A while back, I put together a prayer calendar that combines three “30 days of praying” types of resources that I found online: attributes of God, husband, and children. I could organize the entire prayer notebook by day, so that I pray for a different person/group of people each day of the month. I’ve read that this can actually work really well with index cards. I’m not so sure how I would translate this to a notebook, though.

Each of these methods of organizing my notebook has its pros and cons. I could use all of these methods or something else entirely.

Next time, I’ll write about the tool I’ll use.
