How to Use Your Relationship Prayer Map
1. Make Your List:
Start by thinking of people you want to connect with or pray for—friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances, or anyone special to you. Jot their names down on a scrap piece of paper or in a note.
Â
2. Fill in the Circles:
This page has concentric circles ready for you, with the center circle being you. Place each person’s name in a ring based on how close you feel to them:
Write names of those you’re really tight with—your strongest connections—in the rings nearest the center.
Put names of people you’re not as close to in the outer rings or even outside the circles. The stronger the bond, the closer to the middle they go.
Â
3. Add Arrows and Closeness Letters:
Next to each name, draw a little arrow and add a letter to show both the direction and type of relationship:
Arrow: Point it toward the center if things are getting better or they’re growing closer to you. Point it away if the connection feels like it’s fading or they’re drifting off.
Letter:Â Add one of these to mark their closeness:
A = Acquaintance (someone you know casually)
S = Stranger (someone you barely know)
N = Neighbor (someone nearby but not super close)
F = Friend (a solid pal)
R = Relative (family by blood or marriage)
M = Framily (a friend who’s become like family)
C = Co-worker (someone from work)
Â
Quick Example (Using Your Circles)
Inner ring: "Mom - R" (arrow toward center), "Close Pal - M" (arrow toward center)
Middle ring:Â "Cousin - R" (arrow away), "Work Buddy - C" (arrow toward center)
Outer ring:Â "Neighbor - N" (arrow away), "Guy from Store - A" (arrow away)

Enjoy mapping your relationships and spotting who’s who in your world!
