This contemplative prayer station uses a floor plan of a house to visually walk people through their life and specific prayer topics.  This prayer station can be used on its own or with the other “Love God” stations.

Directions for Leadership: 

In a secluded area, tape a floor plan of a simple house on the ground.  Label the floor plan with the labels provided below and place the directions (also below) around the room so people can walk in and pick them up.  You may want to place pillow and chairs around the floor plan.

The Bedroom (Intimate Relationships)

Closet (The Secrets Only God knows)

Family Room (Children, Parents, Siblings etc.)

Office / Den (Details such as Finances, School, Work, and Entertainment)

Kitchen/ Dining Room (Attitudes and Serving Others)

Living Room (Most Public Room – The image you show others)

Prayer Station Instructions:

On the floor is a “floor plan” of your soul or inner self.  At this time mentally walk through the floor plan and prayerfully examine your inner self and the “rooms” within.

Allow your imagination to play a large part in the activity.  Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your imagination and to help you be open to God’s presence.

Ponder the questions below for each room.

What does this room represent in my life and in my thinking?

What kind of items would I see lying around in this room?

How do I interact with God in this room, if at all?

How often do I let God into this room?

This week, every time you enter the room in your physical home that you struggle the most with inwardly, let it be a reminder of this conversation with God.
