Today's Jesus Calling was about thanking God for our troubles. We said prayers thanking God for things that were troubling us. Then to reinforce the idea, we wrote the prayers on book marks along with related Bible verses. My daughter thought the story of Paul and Silas praising God while in prison was a good example of praising God through our challenges (Acts 16:16-40). I'm so proud of her!
Steps for this simple project:
1) Cut strips of paper (2-2 1/2" x 8 1/2"), preferably out of card stock.
2) Write a prayer thanking God for your troubles. Decorative pens help make this part fun, but pencil may be preferred for perfectionists.
3) Choose a Bible passage or two and write the chapter and verse as a reference to read when you are troubled.
4) Add decorative touches to your book mark.
5) Place your book mark in your Bible at a helpful place to open up next time you are troubled.
