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

This episode of The Pictured Word Podcast is Chapt This episode of The Pictured Word Podcast is Chapter 3 of the Jesus Speaks to Women Series on the words Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well, found in John 4:1-42. You can listen on the Marydean Draws Substack page or on most podcast apps. 
❤️
In this study, I examine the common assumptions we often hear about this story, provide important cultural context, and try to understand what the conversation between Jesus and the woman, the longest recorded between Jesus and anyone in the Gospels, is actually about.

❤️Welcome to The Pictured Word podcast, where I look at Scripture through a curious writer and artist’s eyes, draw on the beauty found in the tradition of Christian art, and learn from the insight of Biblical scholarship. Whether you come to the Bible weary, wounded, or wondering, my goal is to help you see the Jesus revealed there.

This print in my newest collection of hymn prints This print in my newest collection of hymn prints is a really special one and the first time I've made a horizontal print. “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by James Weldon Johnson and his brother Rosamond Johnson was written in 1900 and became known as the “Negro National Hymn” or “Negro National Anthem.” You might recognize it as the song that opens the Super Bowl each year. James Johnson was an educator, lawyer, and author, and his brother Rosamond was an accomplished musician. You can read more about the brothers in the post I wrote about them below.

Here's the link to the print that comes in 8x10" and 11x14":

I'm getting ready to record the podcast episode on I'm getting ready to record the podcast episode on the Samaritan woman in John 4. I'm wondering what you've been taught or have assumed about her and the point of her extensive conversation with Jesus. Through studying this story, I've changed my mind about most of my previous assumptions! Podcast episode coming this week on The Pictured Word Podcast!
