Contemplative Prayer Art

This idea was birthed out of the reading by Madame Guyon in Devotional Classics. I began practicing the method of prayer where I would take a passage of Scripture and mediate on it word by word allowing the fuller meaning of each word to penetrate my heart with a deeper understanding and awareness of God. I began praying for people using this method, coupled with an idea from a book on using art to pray. I would go to a Scripture passage the Lord would lead me to to pray over someone. Then I would take a bookmarks-sized piece of water color paper and begin to illustrate that prayer through words and images and colors with pen (Sharpie to be exact) and watercolor paint. So far I have been blessed to gift over 50 of these prayer-art bookmarks to individuals I have prayed over. I only have a picture of one of those, but will add more as I can[gallery link="file"]
