How Prayer Bingo Can Refresh Your Personal Study

Have you ever sat down with your Bible and notebook, ready to study, but unsure where to begin?

Sometimes, choosing what to study takes more effort than getting started. And when our routine becomes too familiar, we may lose some of the enjoyment of learning.

That’s why I love exploring creative ways to study Jehovah’s Word.

Prayer Bingo offers a fresh approach to personal study with activities that encourage Bible reading, reflection, and meaningful conversations with Jehovah.

24 Prompts to Explore Prayer in Different Ways

Prayer is part of our everyday life, but how often do we make it the focus of our study?

My Bingo card includes activities designed to help you explore different aspects of prayer, from examining Bible examples to reflecting on your own conversations with Jehovah.

The prompts cover several areas:

• Bible study: Explore prayers recorded in the Bible, including Daniel’s humble prayer and David’s heartfelt expressions in Psalm 51.
• Personal reflection: Think about your concerns, disappointments, and areas where you’d like to grow spiritually.
• Gratitude and praise: Reflect on answered prayers, recognise everyday blessings, and find reasons to praise Jehovah.
• Creative activities: Write Jehovah a letter, create a prayer time capsule, or keep a list of answered prayers.

Each activity offers an opportunity to consider an aspect of prayer you might not normally focus on.

Make Getting Started Easier

With 24 ready-made activities, you can choose a square that interests you and begin without planning an entire study session. Some prompts take only a few minutes, while others invite deeper Bible reading or reflection in your notebook.

Having a clear starting point is especially helpful when you’re tired, distracted, or short on time.

Make Learning Enjoyable

Who says studying always has to follow the same format?

Reading, highlighting, and taking notes are valuable methods, but introducing something playful can make learning more engaging. When we enjoy how we’re learning, we’re often more motivated to return to it. Choosing activities, completing challenges, and colouring in finished squares adds an interactive element to your routine.

But there’s more to it than filling in a Bingo card. For example, one prompt challenges you to pray without using your usual phrases. Another invites you to recall a time when Jehovah answered your prayer in an unexpected way. Both activities offer an opportunity to reflect on your prayer habits, recognise things you appreciate, and consider what you’d like to improve..

Make Prayer Part of Your Everyday Life

Some activities extend beyond your study session and become part of your daily routine.

You might pray for 7 different people throughout the week, place prayer reminders somewhere visible, or begin keeping a record of answered prayers. You can complete several squares in one sitting or spend an entire week reflecting on one activity.

There’s no deadline or pressure to finish. The purpose is to become more thoughtful and intentional in your conversations with Jehovah.
