Purposed Prayers
Looking for a way to enhance your families prayer time?
These prayer sticks are a super easy, fun and purposeful craft that you can make with your kids.
I love how these challenge all of us think about new things that we are thankful for, who we need to be praying about and how we can better serve.
Since I wanted to encourage the kids to be constantly thinking of new things to pray about,
I needed these to be easy to change.
Here's what you will need:
- Craft sticks/ tongue depressors
- Washi or Ribbon tape
- Scissors
- White Primer Spray Paint
- Chalkboard spray paint
- Chalkboard marker
Step One:
Spray paint the sticks with primer.
This allows the chalkboard paint to work really well and not absorb into the wood.
Step two:
Spray the primed sticks with chalkboard paint.
This will take two coats for it to work well.
Apply first coat and wait 15 minutes, then apply second coat.
Step Three:
Decorate the sticks.
We used Washi and ribbon tape but you could use
markers, stickers or anything on hand.
Step Four:
Use a chalkboard marker to write your prayers on the sticks and start praying!
Best of all, these can be changed as often as you would like.
Simply use a wet towel to wipe them clean and start over.
Have you tried this method? Do you have anything that has helped in your family prayer time?
I would love to hear about it!
Food for Thought:
The enemy will try to limit your praying because
he knows your praying will limit him.
I was just thinking the other day that I needed to do something like this. Great idea!
