31 Days of Prayers For Your Family ~ A Legacy of Faith

My Little Box of Prayers

God has given grandparents a sacred trust, an opportunity to imprint another generation with His love and faithfulness .




Today is Nat'l Grandparents Day! Grandchildren are sweet precious gifts from God. They are our future.
Join me in being a praying Grandparent. Let us spend time today and every day praying for our grandchildren and their parents.
We live in the midst of a busy and evil environment filled with spiritual battles. It is important that we pray God will give parents of our grandchildren wisdom and time management in their monumental task of guiding our grandchildren in the ways of the Lord.
So what do we do when we live in a culture of spiritual, social and moral decline? WE PRAY!
I encourage you to start your own Grandparents at Prayer group. Learn how here.


Make your own monthly prayer calendar. A visual reminder of the call of prayer.
I completed 7 days worth of prayer cards today using two wonderful resources for my inspiration. You will find those below.
My goal is to fill my little drawer with prayer cards for each day of the month. Each day, I will place the prayer card for that day in my little angel card holder...this is actually one of those photo holders but works great to hold the prayer card.
Be intentional with your prayers.Look for ways to share the Gospel. Leave a legacy of faith.
My hope is that my little box of prayers will be passed on to others ....who pray!



I used large jumbo kids playing cards rather than taking the time to cut out cards. They are the perfect size and weigh for this project.
I covered each one with left over scrapbook paper that I had.


Here are the 7 completed prayer cards for week 1.
I used distressed ink to color over the text and then I gently tore them apart.
As you can see I am using hearts and flowers on each card....a reminder of God's love and spiritual growth.

You could choose to turn your prayer cards into a flip ring.
 See this project here.


Here is another version of the prayer flip ring.
