A Deep Dive into Milena Ciciotti's Prayer Journals
Hi friends! Welcome back to the Mr. Pen blog. My name is Amy, and I’m so glad you’re here! Today, we’re reviewing Milena Ciciotti’s Prayer Journals. If you’ve been curious about these journals or unsure whether a prayer journal is right for you, this post is for you!
First Impressions
From the moment I opened these journals, I was in love! The fabric covers add a beautiful touch, making them feel high-quality and special. The foil block lettering on the covers adds an elegant detail, and they include an attached elastic band to keep them closed—so handy! Plus, there’s a built-in bookmark to help you keep your place. Personally, I think all journals should come with bookmarks—sticky notes just don’t cut it for me!
One of my favorite things about these journals is the thoughtful extras included. Melena and Mr. Pen have added special notes and, of course, the signature Mr. Pen mustache sticker—always a win in my book!
A Peek Inside
For the kids’ prayer journal, the first page includes space to write the year, who is writing the journal, and who the prayers are for. This thoughtful layout helps children develop a habit of prayer and reflection. The larger, personal prayer journal has designated spots for the year and your name, making it a personal space for deepening your relationship with God.
Throughout the guided journal, each page includes sections for the date, scripture, prayer, and reflections on how the Lord has provided. This structure encourages intentional and meaningful prayer time, making it a perfect tool for those looking to grow spiritually.
Why Use a Prayer Journal?
I’ve been using a prayer journal for about 15 years, and I can’t emphasize enough how transformative it has been. Writing down my prayers has helped me process anxious thoughts, worries about the future, and daily stresses. It has become a rhythm in my life—one that brings so much peace.
The act of journaling does two key things:
- Reduces Stress and Anxiety – Writing down your thoughts helps clear your mind, allowing you to release your worries to God.
- Strengthens Faith – Looking back on past prayers and seeing how God has been faithful over the years is incredibly encouraging. During difficult seasons, I revisit my past entries and am reminded that God has always seen me through—and He will again.
Final Thoughts
I’m excited to see how using these prayer journals will continue to deepen my faith and trust in God. If you’re interested in purchasing them, you can find them on the Mr. Pen website at MrPen.com.
