A Deck of Prayers

By Richardl @richardlittleda

An idea

I have just come from leading a Friday lunchtime prayer meeting. It lasts for about 45 minutes, and is attended by a group of people who often pray together. How to keep it fresh? Sometimes it is good to have topics which ‘open up’ the praying by capturing the imagination – which is what I did today. Using the four cards pictured below we prayed about

 

  • Hearts – the people and things we love
  • Spades - those areas of church and working  life where we dig in
  • Clubs – clubs, groups and societies inside and outside the church where we play a part
  • Diamonds – the cutting edge where the church meets the world.

These simple topics released a steady flow of prayer. Feel free to steal and adapt…
