There is now an updated version of the Prayer Mosaic. Go here to check it out. It makes it easier to organize and everything is all in one fun, cute printable. If you're looking for a great experience to do with your ladies group that will help them connect with the Lord, this prayer mosaic experience might be just what you're looking for. I have done this with at least 5 different groups and every time the feedback was incredible! I designed each station to help us connect with the Lord on a deeper level that we might not get the chance to on a daily basis. I recommend you give at least 2 hours for the ladies to get to each station. There is no order in which they have to go, they can just pick whatever station they would like to go to and how long they would like to stay at that station. You could possibly bring the ladies together after the prayer mosaic and share what stood out most to them and what the Lord showed them.

I've tried many different things to help me remember to pray for all the different things I want to. I want to pray for my family, non-believers, my ministry, the media, our government, world evangelization... and I've tried prayer notebooks, prayer apps and on and on.
Finally I tried something else and made this little prayer list card to tuck inside my Bible. It's been my favorite (translate, most helpful and useful) so far. Just print the weekly prayer list below, laminate it (or you can cover it in packaging tape) and write down specifics under each day's category with a dry erase marker. Then you can change the specific requests whenever you'd like. Enjoy! I left Wednesday blank for you to create your own category.

There are three things that last forever, God, His Word and people. So, those things are a pretty big deal right? Well, here is what God says about His Word. He thinks pretty highly of it. Each of these things is taken from a specific verse. God’s Word gives us freedom, strength, and purity, it leads us to obedience, produces fruit, gives us health, guidance, confidence, comfort, revival, understanding, discernment, insight, and restoration, it makes us wise, enlightens our eyes, warns us, leads us to trust God, motivates us to worship, gives us an eternal perspective, it is the best light for the past, present, and future, it reveals the origin, nature and purpose of man, it sets straight, clarifies right and wrong, directs, encourages, reveals God’s heart and handiwork, shows us what pleases Him, makes us complete, provides spiritual nourishment, teaches us patience, courage, perseverance and joy, it gives us hope, is the best marriage manual, teaches us how to forgive and how to be forgiven, how to find relief, how to love and be loved, it reveals God’s goodness and His justice, His standards and His mind, without it we are deceived, it keeps us from sin, it sanctifies us, gives us instruction, success, prosperity, it provides us with all our needs in the spiritual realm, reveals what is to be learned, taught and obeyed, gives us adequacy and makes us equipped for doing good, it convicts, and convinces, and is the standard by which we will be judged. Examples of people who valued God's Word. Jesus knew the word of God and was able to drive away Satan when tempted. Matt 4:1-11 King David clearly saw that knowing the word of God was the key to purity. Ps 119:9-11 Paul says that the word is a sword in your amour against the devil's schemes. Eph 6:13-18 and was able to reason with non-Christians because of a knowledge of the word. Acts 17:1-4 Other good reasons to memorize Scripture: * We are told to be prepared to answer questions concerning our faith in Christ. (1Pet 3:15) * Having the word in our hearts allows us to encourage and teach others. (Col 3:16; 2 Tim 2:14-17) * Knowing and using the Word teaches us right from wrong. * It can increase our ability to distinguish truth from error in doctrine * It will help our prayer life (John 15:7) * Knowing God's word allows us to study the Bible more effectively *If we know the scriptures we can meditate on it anytime wherever we are. (Ps 119:97; Ps 16:7) * What we put in our minds, transforms our heart. If we put trash in, we'll get trash coming out. If we put truth in, we'll get beauty coming out. (Rom 12:1-2) |
