"If you are a visual or kinesthetic learner, a distractable or impatient soul, a word-weary pray-er, or just a person looking for a new way to pray, I hope you will find this practice helpful."
Try one or all of these:
Visualize what you are praying for- the name, the situation, the country.
Write one of the names for the Almighty in a shape. This can serve as a reminder that God is ever-present. Add details to the shape- dots, lines, circles. Add color to the picture. Near that shape, draw another shape and write the name of a person for whom you want to pray, even yourself. Or leave the shape empty if you aren't sure what to pray for. Use this time to release these thoughts and people to God.
Draw or write the negative things that you're feeling.
Fill the page with things that you're thankful for. Write the words in different sizes and directions.
Draw a map of your personal journey with God. Include small things and big things.
Write a phrase from a verse you want to memorize. Repeat it over and over again while you add lines and color around it.
Think of a word that is thrown around in Scripture or religious conversations a lot. Look up verses that the word is in and write phrases of those verses down. Pray for understanding.
