Consider these ideas for Praying in Color that you can incorporate into your own unique circumstances:

• As a regular caregiver for little ones: Talk about loved ones while you finger paint together. “What color do you pick for Cousin Henry? He loves yellow!” “I’m painting a heart for aunt Susan. She is sick – God, please help her feel better.”
• At a special family gathering: Set out a calendar with the name of each person written on a day of the current/upcoming month. Ask them to add one word or phrase as a sort of prayer request (e.g. “friends,” “college decision,” or “I want a dog”) for you to include on that day when you pray for them.
• From a distance: Gather your holiday cards, with photos and annual updates from family and friends, and use them to guide your prayers! Pick a card each day and say a prayer for that person or family.
• With older grandkids: Gift them with a “praying in color care package” – gel pens or colored pencils, paper, and a clipboard. Find other ideas to get you started here.
