Everyday life can sometimes get in the way of spiritual life and especially finding time to pray. And the summer holidays can be a particularly tricky juggle! If you are looking for ways to occupy little ones or bring a spiritual aspect to family time, here are some clever ways to keep prayer front and centre and God’s Global family in mind.
Printable Prayer Prompts
Our Prayer Prompts are a versatile way to bring a more spiritual dimension to your day. Download these free printables to use in your own way. You can use them on your own or in a group; at work, in your prayer group, as a family… the possibilities are endless! Here are some of our favourite ideas:
- Take them with you on a picnic or prayer walk
- Put one in each person’s place at dinner
- Use them for a spot of mindful colouring
- Print them on card and send them as postcards to people who might need some spiritual inspiration today
- Pick one that particularly speaks to you and keep it to hand through the day.
