You may also want to glue some of the accessories to your painted rock. Choose a butterfly and hang it from the underneath of the lid of your jar. Put everything inside your jar and put on the lid. Use some of the accessories to decorate the lid and add the letter beads ‘mini prayer jar’. Sit with your mini prayer garden in front of you and imagine yourself in the garden with God, in a serene, happy and peaceful place. What will you talk to God about? What things will you bring to him? Take time to listen to listen to God.
