Personal or Corporate Prayer Cards Introduction These prayer cards contain simple Scriptures, paraphrased for easy reading as brief but effective prayers—effective because they are the Word of God, representing His character, His will and His ways. The prayer verses are written with blank spaces to make it easy for you to add one or more names to personalize the prayers for yourself or others. Each prayer card is noted with a topic for easy reference. We suggest that you print them on card stock and cut each page into four cards; band the sets with rubber bands. They work well for individuals or for people praying together in small groups (especially helpful to those who are not comfortable praying aloud). Divide the cards among the prayer group, and encourage them to pray them as written, and then add their own personal prayers if they are comfortable doing that.

Bring them out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of Your Son. Help them to understand that Jesus gave His life for them. Jesus died in their place; He gave Himself as a sacrifice for them. Help them to see their need for a Savior.

You have said that everyone who believes in the Son of Man may have eternal life. Help them to believe. Help them to believe that You loved the world so much, that You gave Your only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
