What does prayer look like? There is not just one way to pray, but as you live, you pray.

• Like Tim Tebow: down on one knee with head bowed.
• In a closet, alone with God.
• In a group without saying a word.
• Lying prone.
• Driving your car with your eyes wide open.
• Crying. Laughing. Angry. Happy. Confused. Focused.
• So many more ways …

Pray, today, all day.

 

Colossians 4:2 (New Living Translation)

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.

 

Colossians 4:2 (The Message)
Pray diligently. Stay alert, with your eyes wide open in gratitude. 

 

Why study the Bible this way?

If you take it into your mind and heart enough to translate it into a picture or word, it becomes part of you. If you add a sentence or two of explanation, you then engage another part of your brain which cements God’s words even firmer into your heart and mind. If you want to remember it, you can think of what you drew.
