Many women have been asking about my Simple Prayer Box and sharing my photos with their friends. I started this a few years ago when my I selected “simplicity” as my one focus word for the year. I wanted a simple method to organize my prayers and remind myself to interceded for family and friends. I’ve made a few changes since then and here is the prayer box I’m using today.
- Index card file box with key
- Index card blank tabs
- Index card 1-31 tabs (optional)
- Index cards
How to Use Your Simple Prayer Box
Organize your box using the index tabs. Here’s how I have organized my box using these tabs:
- Ministry leaders at Womens Bible Cafe
- Ministry Leaders in other ministries
- Scripture Verses
- My Bible study small groups - Monday Group, Tues Group, Fri Group
- Family
- Friends
- Church - my local church, other churches, pastors
- Prayer Room - these are the women who post prayer requests online
- Country and Government
- Daily tabs 1-31
You could write the address, phone number and email of your friends on the top of the card. Then as you are praying send them a text message, or if you have the time, a handwritten card. Don’t complicate this…as you create your own prayer box pray and ask the Lord how to keep it simple so that you will use it.
These are wonderful gifts ideas for your girlfriends. It’s also a good activity for local small groups to create their boxes together.
Do not buy index cards at Walmart, I discovered the paper is really thin and doesn’t hold up well. If you want to save money, split the cost of the blank tabs with a friend, or don’t use the 1-31 tabs. Keep in mind this is something you’ll use for years, so the initial cost is small compared to the long-term use!
Much love to you,
