Family Prayer Jar

Duration

• Every day

What you’ll need

• Large jar

• 3X3 inch pieces of paper

• Markers 

Experience

Find a jar and fill it with various expressions of prayer. Examples would be:

• Thank God for your brothers and sisters.

• Praise God for something he has done for you.

• Pray and ask God to help your favorite teacher be a good teacher.

• Ask God to help a friend know Christ.

• Help our pastors have wisdom and strength.

Write 31 different prayer requests on pieces of paper and put them in the jar. Each day, when you eat together as a family (and followers of Jesus do eat together as families) ask someone to take a prayer request out of the jar and pray for whatever it says. This is also a great way to teach kids about prayer.
