Prayer Cards. David. Compassion

Transcription

1 Compassion These prayer cards were created to go along with the book A Praying Life by Paul Miller. The cards are color-coded based on different areas of prayer, so that you can quickly find a section to add a request or begin praying. Prayer Cards David created by - do well in his studies at school and at the Compassion center - be a help to his family and obedient (Ephesians 6:1) - for his family to have all that they need physically (Matt 6:31 & 32) - that he would become a strong believer in God (Prov. 3:5) - health and healing for family (Jer. 30:17) Use the cards to write out any requests and Scripture for that person or group. If you need more, simply print off a new sheet. Divide the sections with the Scripture verse and quote cards. Since our family sponsors children through Compassion International, I added a prayer page for those requests as well. Printing on cardstock is recommended to make the cards sturdier. You might also consider hole-punching one of the corners and putting them on a jump ring {similar to a key ring}. Each card is 3 x5 in size, so you can also add them to a file box instead. The card to the left gives you a sample idea of how I am using the cards personally. I d encourage you to add specific verses to each card and write down when you see answers to prayers as well. This file was created to share with you free of charge, but I ask that you do not host these files on anywhere other than on your personal computer. If you would like to share the file with others, please direct them to my website. I hope these cards are a blessing to you!

2 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying forgive, I you have anything against anyone, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Don t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees. ~ Corrie ten Boom Mark 11:24-25 But I, O Lord, cry to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you. Psalm 88:13 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. Matthew 6:6

3 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. Psalm 145:18 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy. Philippians 1: 3-4 We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties. ~ Oswald Chambers Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus or you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

4 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:26 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 At the center of self-will is me, carving a world in my image. At the center of prayer is God, carving me in his Son s image. ~ Paul Miller And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him. 1 John 5:14-15
