A printable for Praying through a Pandemic

Hello friends! I pray your are safe and well right now. I know most of our lives have changed drastically over the last few weeks.

I am home with my family attempting some homeschool, trying to retain sanity and peace, and fighting anxiety.

The other night, I wrote down some people I want to remember to pray for by name, and ended up creating a whole list of people. I thought I’d share the little chart I drew out in hopes that it will be a prayer tool for you.

I am thinking of these verses:

“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.” (Rom 12:9-13 ESV)

I am challenged and convicted by the call to be constant in prayer. Will you join me in praying through this pandemic?

Let’s lament all our loses, but continue to hope.

Let’s share the reason for the hope that we have as believers (1 Peter 3:15).

Let’s be patient through this tribulation.

Let’s give generously with the bread and fish we have to offer into the hands of Jesus (and our local churches and community organizations).

And let’s constantly pray.

You can download the guide HERE or by clicking on the image below.

Love,

    Thank you! I especially like the first box. I have a Post It that asks, “What promise of Jesus is guiding your next step?”

    Hi! I could have sworn I’ve visited this website before but after going through a few of the posts I realized it’s new to me.
    Regardless, I’m definitely happy I stumbled upon it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back frequently!

    Thank you so much for these. I’ll be using them with my little one and using them myself. When we can do nothing else, we can always pray.
    God bless you

Welcome to the blog!

I’m Mary and I’m glad you’re here! Since 2014, I’ve been sharing encouraging words, fun Bible printables, and accessible art activities.

let’s talk about . . .

I learned so much from this study of Luke 4:1-13 a I learned so much from this study of Luke 4:1-13 and the testing of Jesus in the wilderness (as I do every study through this incredible book). I thought this painting by Briton Rivière captures the spiritual, mental and physical anguish of the moment for Jesus, a torment that would continue until the end of his life. I added Hebrews 2:18 to the coloring page for this study: "Because he suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted." 

So many treasures from this story, but something new for me was the idea that Jesus  faced temptation not just by rotely quoting Scripture--even Satan could do that! It was deeper than that. Each of the Scriptures he quoted placed him in the story of the people of Israel and their failures as God delivered them from Egypt. He faced temptation by understanding the larger story of what God was doing in the world and what he was called to do. Where Israel had faltered, he would be faithful. This is what allowed him to see through the temptations he faced. I find that so encouraging.
