Diary of Love

Why do you write? I’m often asked this question. Why is this called Diary of a Prayer Warrior? The emphasis on the word “diary?”

A diary is a journal, record or letter. This one is a love letter to my God, King, Savior and Master. It’s a place where I reflect and pour out my heart to the Lord without reservation and hear His voice clearly.

Writing out what’s on my mind keeps me so connected to God. We all need a place where we come to God as we are—fully transparent, raw, unhindered and unashamed. A place where the more time we spend there, the closer we feel to Him. Where we feel His eternal presence washing over us. Where we feel better just from being there.

This is my place—Diary of a Prayer Warrior. When I’m writing I’m present with God. He’s always present with me but I’m not always present with Him. Writing changes that. It is a full conversation with my Lord. I’m pouring out and He’s pouring in, filling those empty spaces with His love.

So now you know the why. Writing is part of me. It is crucial to my relationship with the Lord and I just don’t know how not to write.
