I thought that I would share 2 creative prayer ideas that have really blessed me. I can’t take credit for either, but I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I have.
1. Prayer candle. My mom’s idea. My mom’s dear neighbor, Kathy, has been valiantly battling cancer. Mom lit a candle and literally kept it going in the kitchen window all the time as an ongoing reminder to pray for Kathy. She uses the tall, glass, inexpensive ones. She uses white. Since I have a few special friends (Kathy included) who are fighting similar battles, I decided to light my own candle. My house is accented in red, so I found a red one. It’s right next to my kitchen sink, in the middle of our house, where I spend the majority of my time. It’s a sweet reminder to pray for the women that I am standing with in prayer.
2. Year-round Christmas Card Basket. Bishop Cox and Betty’s idea. My precious mentor, Bishop William Cox, and his dear wife Betty put their Christmas cards in a basket that stays in the middle of their kitchen table year-round. Each meal they pull out a card and pray for the family on the card. My kids (especially Joseph) have loved doing this at our house. Joseph frequently reminds us to grab a card when we’ve forgotten.
