My paisley prayer has been growing. Instead of finishing the prayer in one sitting, I have been adding names over the course of a couple of weeks. Adding a new color reminds me of when I started praying for certain people. At the same time, I can pray for the original people on the prayer all over again–with words in my mind and mouth, with words written near the names, with added strokes and marks, or just with the release of the person into God’s care.

Here are a couple of upcoming Praying in Color Workshops® and Retreats. If you know anyone near these cities, please pass on this information. Thanks.
