A Simple Way to Pray for Your Neighbors: Part 1

Two young girls, Makiah and Zalaiah who are passionate about prayer and live in Sacramento, CA, decided to offer their neighbors a unique way to be prayed for! They set up a prayer table for their neighbors taking walks or driving by to stop and leave their requests. (Note: this was started in 2020 during Covid, however this idea can obviously be done in any context.)

What You Will Need:

Set a table out on your front lawn or driveway with a small basket or container that has new, sharpened pencils of any size, and index cards. Also, put a separate small box or basket on the table for people to put their prayer requests into. Make a large sign that says “How Can We Pray for You?”

Simple Instructions to leave on the table:

Hello Neighbors! I (we) would love to pray for you today.1. Please take a card, and write down a need or a request you have. You may put your name on the paper, or be completely anonymous.2. Put your card back in the other basket/box.3. I (we) will regularly pick up the prayer requests and pray over them!

Thanks for letting us pray for you!
