A Lovely Shade Of Blue: Daily Prayer Without Words
Claire George suggests aids to prayer.
Picture these prayers in your head. If you can't concentrate you may find it easier to draw the pictures in a notebook.
Morning prayer
Picture the people you will be with today. Imagine God's love shining down on them like a light.
Picture yourself doing the things that you have planned for today. Imagine there will be a calm, gentle place in your heart that belongs to God.
Put out your hand and remember that God will be holding it all day.
Evening prayer
Picture the most important events of the day. Imagine that you can hold them in your hands. Give them to God.
Imagine that you are getting ready to go to sleep in a beautiful place. You stretch, lay down and God places a quilt over you and tucks you in.
Picture the people you care about and anyone you have heard about who is in trouble or difficulty. Imagine that God's love is something that can be seen, like glitter, refreshing rain or falling cherry blossoms. Picture God pouring his love on the people you have pictured.
