We’ve spent weeks coming to know our most incredible God.
And the more I come to know Him, the more awe-struck I am that He desires for us to call out to Him with words and tears and joy-filled thanks.
And yet, it’s so easy (maybe even more so as a family) to get stuck in our prayers. We mindlessly pray the same prayers over and over again, as if it’s some chore to simply check off the list when it’s done.
But, oh, how I desire for our prayers to be deeper than that.
Colossians Family {Bible} Time – Week 9
(Corresponds with this week’s Colossians Bible Study!)
So with Colossians 4:2 ringing in our ears, we’ve been filling up a humble scrapbook with pictures and words and colorful drawings – each as a sweet reminder of prayer.
And when your whole family is watching for opportunities to pray? The pages fill up fast.
All you need is a notebook, scrapbook, or album to tape in pictures of people/things to pray for (mom and dad on their anniversary, a birthday girl, a band-aid for that owie, a soldier carrying the flag, your family, friends, neighbors, leaders, church, work, city, country, hurts, fears, joys, blessings…). And scribble and draw your own prayers right on the pages.
Continue to add to it throughout the year(s), and soon you will have a treasured keepsake with pages raw from heartfelt prayers.
