The mention of gratitude journaling reminded me that I used to write out ten things I was grateful for first thing in the morning (before even getting out of bed), then pray for three people I was finding difficult. I can't remember why I stopped, but a lot of emotionally centered days started that way. Might have to start it again.
For me, prayer is as essential as breathing. I process everything i go through with the Lord, which is itself humbling. The God who created the universe cares for my burdened heart.
