Pocket Prayers Printable

I don’t know about you, but there have been times in my spiritual life with God when I long for the rich prayers passed down in our Christian tradition. I enjoy praying prayers from The Book of Common Prayer with my community and family.

Then there are other times when I pray more desperate, fleeting prayers. I long to hear God’s voice break through my disappointment, my confusion, my doubts, my questions, my darkness.

I’ve collected six of those “pocket prayers” that I find useful for you to print and color. Maybe you’ll keep them around for yourself or maybe you’ll share them with a friend or family member. They can be cut into six cards.

I hope they help. I’m not a proficient pray-er, but I do know that continuing to “look up” is the only way through. Alone is too hard. I also know that God delights to hear us, to rescue us, and to enter into our lives.

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

    Thanks, Mary! I love this! I just heard about a book this morning called “Prayer in the night” by Tish Harrison. It speaks about how the liturgy of the word was used in her time of need; how she and her husband prayed from, I believe, the book of common prayer. Thanks for sharing. Feels well timed!

      You’re welcome, Ricardo! That book is SO good. She uses a specific prayer from the Compline in the BCP and built each chapter around one line. It’s beautiful. Praying God encourages you today and draws near.

    Thank you, Mary. Your artwork is so inspiring. I love hanging it everywhere and being reminded of God and His word.
