A Quiet Prayer for Someone Who Is Unwell
A young woman with closed eyes and folded hands is drawn in soft blue on this card, under an arched heading that reads A PRAYER FOR YOUR HEALING. The message asks for comfort, strength and peace. It is a gentle card for believers who want to send a prayer to a friend, relative or member of their congregation.
Arched Heading, Praying Figure and Orange Name Tag
The card is 650 x 800 pixels, portrait, one page. The page is a light blue gradient with angled grey blue shapes at the corners. The figure sits in the middle in a lilac jacket. The message is in a plain sans serif, and the name sits in an orange rounded tag at the foot.
Prayer Message and a Layout Problem
The message reads May God’s loving presence surround you with comfort and peace during this time. I pray that He grants you strength in every moment, eases your pain, and restores your health day by day. The text box is slightly too wide, so the last letters of some lines, such as during and and, are cut off at the edge. Narrow the text box a little, or reduce the font by one point, until every line fits. The sign off reads With heartfelt prayers and the name Sophia Williams.
Adapting a Prayer Card Respectfully
- Use the word for God that your friend uses.
- Keep the length short.
- Do not promise a cure.
- Offer practical help as well.
- Sign with your name.
Matching a Prayer Card to the Recipient
Send a prayer card only to someone who shares or welcomes your faith. For a friend of another belief or none, choose a card that speaks of care and rest. Your kindness will be received better when it respects their view.
Praying With Someone Rather Than About Them
If the person welcomes it, offer to pray with them in person or by phone. Ask first. Many people find comfort in shared prayer, and others prefer privacy.
Fixing Cut Off Text Before You Print
Always preview the card at full size before you print. Text that runs to the edge of the artboard can be clipped by a printer. A narrower text box with a wider margin avoids it.
Saving the Prayer Card
Save at the original size once the text fits. Print on 200 gsm matte paper, and add a handwritten line inside.
