Make Your Own Mini Prayer Book

What a cute little printable book of prayers to pray over your children! This is so helpful! Definitely printing mine out now!Ever since my children were little, I’ve prayed the same prayer for them nearly every night. “God, please keep my children happy, healthy and safe.”

I’m not sure how or why I ended up with this exact prayer–it’s just what I’ve always done. Until one day, when I realized my prayers really weren’t as strong as they should be.

Sure, I want my kids to be happy and healthy and safe–but are those the three MOST important things I want to pray for my children?

What about for them to love God and make Him their #1 priority? What about for faith? for wisdom? for self-control?

 

There’s SO much more I want to pray for my children, but I was falling back on old habits and making my prayers still genuine but routine.

I’m guessing you probably do the same thing from time to time. You pray the quick and easy prayers to help your immediate circumstances instead of praying the big, powerful prayers that really matter. (I know I do.)

There’s actually a term called “praying deep” that means not just praying for the small, little stuff that doesn’t really matter so much (like grades and finding things and favorable traffic), but also praying for the BIG stuff–the things that are important, but all too easy to forget. Things like wisdom and faith and focus.

Those are the things I want to pray for.

 

So… I decided to do something about it. I created a super cute mini prayer book, and today, I’m going to show you how to make one too!

 

*If you are crafty and enjoy making this prayer book, you should check out my post about creating your own Bible study basket!

 

How to Make Your Own Mini Prayer Book

 

Materials Needed: 

  • Prayer Card Printables (Purchase your set here for $1.99)
  • Hole punch
  • Pretty Ribbon

 

Instructions: 

Printable Prayer Cards

1. Print out the Prayer Card Printables or write your own if you’d rather. Writing your own is a great way to personalize your prayers for your individual family’s needs. But… then you also run the risk of not knowing what to write, procrastinating and not really doing it. If you grab the pretty ones I’ve already made–you’re far more likely to actually USE them. 🙂

Buy your set of pre-made prayer card printables for $1.99 here and get the download link sent straight to your email. Then, if your set wears out, gets dirty or gets lost (which you know they inevitably will!), you can simply print them again and again.

2. Cut out each card and stack them neatly, all facing the same way.

 

3. Use a hole punch to cut a small hole in the very upper left hand corner. Don’t have one? A pencil, pushpin, pair of scissors or kitchen knife could also be used in a pinch.

4. Thread pretty ribbon through the hole and tie to secure.

 

That’s it! Simply toss your mini prayer book in your purse, on your nightstand or in your car, so you can make praying deep prayers for your children a regular part of your every day life!

    I would like a bit more information of what the prayers are, before purchasing. The faith one looks great. I realize that you wouldn’t want to share the whole thing or no one would purchase. Thanks

      No problem! They are: Love for God, Positive Influences, Faith, Wisdom, Self-Control, Focus, Safety, Purity, Strength, Godly Parents, Future Spouses, and A Heart for Others. All the prayers are denomination-friendly too, so no need to worry about that. Does that help?

    Wow I used to say the same prayer! “God please keep my children happy, healthy and safe” for many years. I’m pretty sure I made it up (or that I didn’t hear it somewhere else). My prayer has evolved over time, but I prayed this for quite a while.

      lol. Great minds think alike! I didn’t hear it anywhere else either. Not even sure why I choose those three, but that’s just what I’ve prayed for some time. 🙂

      I am also in similar situation. So I am praying that God will send someone in my daughter’s path and do a miracle. I am sure God will hear your prayer. Keep trusting and calling out blessings on your kids.
