Praying in Colour
'Praying in Color' = prayer + doodling. A beautiful, creative way to intercede when: 1) You want to pray but words escape you. 2) Sitting still and staying focused in prayer are a challenge. 3) Your body wants to be part of your prayer. 4) You want to just hang out with God but don’t know how. 5) Listening to God feels like an impossible task. 6) Your mind wanders and your body complains. 7) You want a visual, concrete way to pray. 8) You need a new way to pray. prayingincolor.com The Lord's Prayer in te reo Māori, sung by the New Zealand Youth Choir at the ANZAC service in Wellington, 2017
