A mum/vicar and her son, blogging alternately. We are trying out different ways of praying, to see which work best for teenagers.

7b: review of Colour In your Prayers
I enjoyed doing this, it was really fun, but the picture I was doing did not make me think about the bible passage that was written on it (For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him will not be lost but will have eternal life, John 3:16) but it did make me think about the picture itself.
A hand to me means feel or touch so a hand, to me, means God feels for us with his whole heart. The sort of rainbow pathway indicates the pathway to Gods love, heaven.
I like colouring in, but to me this wasn't really a prayer experience.
I think part of the problem might have been that this was a Bible passage I know well, and I've done some Ethics and Philosophy work on it at school. In a few weeks time I'd quite like to try doing this differently, by drawing the picture myself.
