Card for Prayer Bottles

Dear God,

When I look in this bottle, I see lots of things. Sparkles remind me that Jesus is the Light of the world. Tiny mirrors remind me that I am made in your image. Shells remind me that when I was baptized, I was marked as God’s forever. Palm leaves remind me to shout, “Hosanna!” and give thanks for all my blessings. Most importantly, I see the cross. It reminds me that God loved me so much that he gave me Jesus. And through that love, all things are possible.

  • (Find the cross.) Where did I see God’s love today?
  • (Find a palm leaf.) What am I thankful for today?
  • (Watch the mirrors.) Where did I see God in myself today?
  • (See the sparkles.) Where do I need to shine my light to help someone?
  • (Find the shells.) Say the Lord’s Prayer. Amen!
