I have also been doing prayer journels with my kids. But we just got notebooks and hand them out the to kids. I have left it open for prayer request, praises, or even any questions they may have and are afraid to ask in front of anyone else. My husband and I will go through and write something back to each child. The kids beg us to write in them. I was schocked to see their desire to use them. I think it is a great outlet for kids.
