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.
