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

I'm back in Luke! I'm excited to pick back up wher I'm back in Luke! I'm excited to pick back up where I left off in my study of Luke. I'm drawing inspiration from art in the Christian tradition and guidance from Bible scholarship. This week I'm recapping an introduction to Luke with a fun coloring page inspired by art from a 13th century Bible manuscript.
