Every day is national ____ something___ day.
And let me tell you: it’s weird out there people.
But I’m going to boil it down for you and compile a handful of the days coming up that you may want to use as an excuse to pray for and reach out to the people in your life that fall into those categories.
Some suggestions of what to write in a card:
- Tell them the good you see God doing in them.
- Para Card Suggestion: "I see" Collection
- List the things you appreciate about them.
- Para Card Suggestion: "You Are A Joy" card
- Affirm them in their gifting, skills, personality or efforts.
- Para Card Suggestion: Use cards from the "That's You" Collection
- Remind them of truths from God’s word.
- Para Card Suggestion: A card like "Sees Knows Cares Here"
- Pray over them and tell them what the Spirit brought to mind:
- Refer to the Para Process for more on what this could look like.
- Para Card Suggestion: Use scripture-filled cards to guide your prayer
