How to Make a Prayer Box
Prayer boxes are used to collect specific prayer requests. Individuals write their prayers down on pieces of paper or index cards and then slip them into a slit cut in the top of the box. Someone collects the prayers and then prays for each person and his request. Children can learn about prayer by making their own prayer boxes to be used in Sunday school or at home with their family members.
