Angel of God Prayer craft


This is a picture of my Angel of God prayer. Please color then cut out along the outside edge. Fold each side along the line next to the picture, so your prayer page will stand up. 

If you remember, Mrs. Harden talked with you about your guardian angels and some of you even found out your angel’s name! 

This is a good prayer for whenever you feel sad or lonely because even though you can’t see your guardian angel, you are never alone!
