This week make a Family Prayer Chain that you can continue to add to during your Family Prayer times. Family Prayer Chain Instructions. Each person gets one strip of paper. You can use construction paper, scrapbook paper, or plain paper—any color works! Write a prayer on your strip. This can be: A prayer request, Something you’re thankful for, A prayer for someone else, A short prayer to God (You can write words or draw a picture!) Take turns reading your prayer out loud, or keep it private—both are okay. Make it a link. Roll your paper into a loop and tape or staple the ends together. Connect the chain. Loop your prayer through the previous link before taping it closed, showing how our prayers are connected. Pray together. Once the chain is finished, say a short prayer together, thanking God for hearing every prayer in the chain. Display the prayer chain. Hang it somewhere visible (a wall, doorway, or fridge) as a reminder to keep praying for one another.
