Every chapter has added a new trinket to your treasure trove of memories. Let’s remind ourselves of the lessons they hold for us!
1. An Invitation God has invited you to come to Him in prayer. He wants you to call upon Him, so set your mind on Him and pour out your heart. | |
2. A Brass Button A reminder that we have been given the right to come boldly before God’s throne in prayer—bold as brass. Though our Heavenly Father demands respect, we are welcomed as His own child. | |
3. A Recipe Card Print the Lord’s Prayer on it to remind yourself of Christ’s example, but then play with the recipe every time you pray, using your creativity and making it your own. | |
4. Earplugs Everyone needs a prayer closet—a place reserved for prayer. Even in the midst of the busiest households, we can find a tiny pool of peace when we turn our thoughts to God. | |
5. A Cork A teasing reminder to “put a cork in it” and spend some of our prayer time listening to our Lord. Listen for His leading as you soak yourself in the Scriptures. | |
6. A Journal A blank book for you to fill. Let it stand as a record of God’s faithfulness to you. A place for meditation and application. A testament to your spiritual walk. | |
7. Nail Polish As you begin the practice of praying through Scripture passages, a bottle of polish serves to remind you of how you can apply the Scriptures to your life. | |
8. Knitting Needles We pray for one another because we are “joined and knit together.” Because we are all a part of one another in the body of Christ, we pray out loud together, remembering one another’s needs. | |
9. A Blanket God may be calling you to be an intercessor—a prayer warrior—on behalf of someone dear to you. Night and day, your prayers will blanket them. | |
10. A Camel With a nod to James, the brother of Jesus, who was nicknamed “Old Camel Knees,” we remember we should continue through our days in an attitude of prayer. | |
11. A Seed Each prayer we send up is like a seed, filled with potential. Yet God answers in His own way and in His own time, just as a seed takes time and care to germinate, grow, and flower. When we pray, we must simply trust that God will answer. |

12. A Thank You Note A reminder to fill your prayer life with notes of praise. Show the Lord how much you appreciate what He has done for you—that you have noticed His hand in your day, and that you love Him for His care. |
