Build a Bond Through Prayer
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." - 1 John 5:14
Do you agree that when you pray for someone, you feel closer to that person? I feel this is especially true about our Compassion sponsored children. Yes, I have met Felix, so I do feel a special attachment to him. But through prayers and letters, I know God has knit my heart to the other children we sponsor and write to.
If you are looking for a way to build a bond through prayer with your sponsored children, I have something to share with you today!
When you received your welcome booklet, inside is a bookmark. On the back of that bookmark are daily prayer prompts to pray for your sponsored child. I love these bookmarks and I use them quite frequently! But I thought...wouldn't it be great if these were cards instead that could be used at our table so as a family we could be praying for our Compassion kids?
So I asked my talented art director husband if he would be willing to use his creativity to help me out...and here is what he came up with!
Aren't these gorgeous!
There is one card for every day of the month.
And I am making them available for you to print and use at home as well!
You can access the folder of prayer cards by clicking here. Or you can click on the individual pictures above.
I would recommend printing these out on cardstock so they are a little more durable. You can even laminate them or cover them with clear contact paper. Punch a hole in the top left corner and attach all the cards to a ring. You and your family are now ready to pray daily for your Compassion sponsored children around the world.
I am making these prayer cards available as a gift to you, my readers. Please do not sell or reprint these images. Thank you.

For everything there is a season
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven - Ecclesiastes 3:1
This is just a season, a very busy one at that for us. I believe there are times as a family, when a particular season is a little busier than 'normal'. The past three months have been that really busy season for our family. But I wouldn't trade any of the opportunities and experiences that each one of us have had over this period of time. I just keep reminding myself, that this is just a season.
How have we gotten through this season? Believe me, there have been a few times when I wanted to throw up my hands and say 'Enough!' God knew this would be a busy season for us, but He has provided times of rest when we needed it the most. And for that I am so thankful...
