There’s something truly special about keeping a prayer journal. It’s a sacred space where you can pour out your heart, track answered prayers, and grow deeper in your walk with God. But instead of starting from scratch each time, why not design a prayer journal template you can use again and again? ✨
With a little help from Canva, you can create a beautiful, customized template that fits your needs perfectly—whether you’re journaling personally, sharing with your Bible study group, or gifting to friends and family.
Why Use a Prayer Journal Template?
Consistency – Having a set layout makes it easy to stay focused.
Creativity – You can design it to reflect your personal style and faith journey.
Reusability – Once designed, you can print it or use it digitally over and over.
Encouragement – A thoughtful layout inspires you to keep journaling daily.
How to Make a Prayer Journal Template in Canva
1. Choose a Layout
Think about what you want to include: daily prayers, gratitude, Scripture notes, sermon reflections, or prayer requests. Start with a blank Canva document or grab a ready-to-use template from my Etsy shop – A Rea of Treasures.
2. Add Sections
Popular sections to include in your prayer journal template:
Today’s Scripture
Prayer Requests
Answered Prayers
Praise & Gratitude
Reflection Notes
These prompts guide your thoughts and make your journal meaningful.
3. Design with Your Style
Use Canva’s drag-and-drop tools to add borders, icons, or soft background patterns. Stick to colors that feel peaceful and uplifting—like pastels, muted earth tones, or soft florals.

4. Save & Reuse
Once you’re happy with your design, save it as a PDF to print at home or upload it into a digital note-taking app like GoodNotes or Notability. That way, your prayer journal is always with you—on paper or your device.
