Bible Study Binder and Prayer Journal


Yesterday I did a post about how I now organize my Bible Study essentials - You can read that post by clicking here.  Today, I am showing you my Bible Study/Prayer Binder. I have been using this method for about 7 years now.  I started with a regular one inch 3 ring binder but quickly outgrew that.


Now I use a Mead 3 ring binder sort of trapper keeper that is much larger.  It keeps all of my papers very neat, well organized and easily accessible.  This binder is also portable just like my Bible Study Basket.


This is a look on the inside at some of my various tabs.  I have a total of 5 large tabs titled prayer, husband/wife, parenting, inspirational quotes and holidays.  These large dividers are labeled for different areas of prayer or study and I add to these as needed.  When I print things from different blogs, Bible studies or receive different papers from church that I want to hold on to this is where I file them.  

I also have several smaller tabs (as seen below) behind my larger prayer tab.  I have one for "family issues" which are things that directly affect my immediate family as a whole then I have a divider for each member of my immediate family.  I also have a divider titled "family" and one for "friends" which is where I list prayers or journal about individuals that fall into those categories.  This is where I write things I am praying for concerning a particular person in that group.  

                                     

I love this system because instead of having many pieces of paper laying around the house they all have a home, which makes me happy - "a place for everything". 

Do you have any kind of Bible study binder that you use?

Join me next week as I show you my system for Bible Verse Memorization and my Bible Study Notebook!

    Thank you for sharing this post. I found it very informative and inspirational. Studying and interpenetrating the Bible is really important in ones spiritual journey. I just enrolled in online Bible classes to get a better understanding of the good book.

      Thank you Dawn. Yea I too am a bit of addict myself. lol But it's a good thing. The key is trying different things until you find out what fits you personally.

      Thanks Kasey, it helps keep all those print outs that you want to keep for study helps or handouts at church organized along with all my thoughts and prayers too.
