Prayers That GrowThe prayer card
The prayer to read aloud each time you water, laser-etched and cut by hand.
Plantable prayer cards · made by hand in Texas
Prayers that grow.
Plant it. Water it. Pray it.
Plant the seed card in a pot of soil. Water it every day, and read the prayer aloud each time you do. As the plant grows, the habit of prayer grows with it.

How it works
Four steps, on the back of the thank-you card
The pictures travel with the set, so anyone can follow them. You bring a pot and some soil.
Add soil
Fill a pot with soil. A sunny windowsill suits it best, indoors in winter.
Plant the seed swatch
Lay the seed paper on the soil and cover it with a thin layer of soil, as the paper's maker advises.
Water and pray daily
Each time you water the pot, read the prayer card aloud. Keep the soil moist, not soaked.
Keep going
Sprouts come first, then flowers. Keep praying while it grows.
The first prayer
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.Matthew 6:9–13
The first of 6 prayers. The others are being chosen now.
In every envelope
Three pieces, one kraft envelope
Nothing is longer than the prayer card, so it all fits a #6 3/4 envelope. No pot or soil inside: use your own.
The seed swatch
Wildflower seed paper, engraved with the verse reference. This is the piece you plant.
The thank-you card
A note from Ken and Ann on the front, and the four planting steps on the back.

Good to know
What to expect when you plant
Sprouting takes time
Wildflower seed paper usually sprouts within a few weeks, and flowers come later. Light, warmth and water all play a part, so we can't promise a date.
The flowers vary
The wildflower mix in seed paper changes from batch to batch, so we don't promise one particular flower.
If nothing sprouts
Let us know and we'll send a new seed swatch. The prayer never depended on the seed.
An invitation, not a promise
Each set invites you into a daily habit of prayer. What grows from it is between you and God.
