Here's how we did it:
5 trail mix type ingredients (we just used what we had in the pantry and it worked out great)
Place a small hand full of each in a snack/sandwich bag and identify how each can remind you of the 5 ingredients in the Lord's Payer.
- Praise - honoring God (sm marshmallows-sinless/white, fluffy/happy praise)
- Purpose - wanting Gods will not our own (raisins-someone dried prunes for the purpose of creating raisins)
- Provision - trusting God to take care of us (graham cracker broken up like sm pieces of bread)
- Pardon - forgiveness from God and for others (plain chex cereal-jail cell bars ect)
- Protection - from temptation and evil (semi-sweet chocolate chips-tempting)
Our plan is to use them at snack time in our home and recall each ingredients meaning. We also want to make some for other family/friends and start kind of an "friendship bread" chain with Prayer Trail mixes!
Would you like to be one of the first to join our chain...?
Make enough trail mixes to give to all the members of the 2-3 families/friends of your choice...much like friendship bread.
Ex. We choose Sally Sue's family of 4, we will made 4 trail mixes for them and encourage them to read the passage in scripture, talk with their family about it and then keep the chain going by choosing a couple families to make the recipe for!
Include a post card size copy of this info in the baggies.
Write with sharpie on the outside of the baggie...
Matthew 6:9-13
"The Recipe for Prayer"
Have fun making and recalling Gods "Recipe for Prayer" this was an amazing teachable moment in our home!!! We will continue to make trail mix this way and encorage you to do it to.
FYI: The taste wasn't to shabby either!

I love this idea. My son is grown and in college, but I may make him some of this mix to send back to school with him. He will be home for this weekend. I think I will share some with a committee at church that I am on.
Have a blessed week.
This is simply too wonderful .. do you mind I bookmark it and use it in my teaching. God is leading me to start a new ministry, KIDZREACH, equipping this generation to reach the nations. Oh such a jewel, a tasty one at that, to find today.
