Text:

Somewhere along the way, Christians became convinced that the ONLY way to pray was with heads bowed, eyes closed, hands folded and speaking English from the King James Version of the Bible in sombre tones.

By simply reading the Bible itself you can discover all sorts of prayer types and numerous ways to pray presented there. From thanksgiving to lament, from praise to confessing, with hands raised, on your knees, in a closet, in worship, with song, with groaning and tears--the take home message is that God desires our prayers in any mood and in many ways.

It is in this spirit that I'm happy to include a new feature, "Ways to Pray," which will appear occasionally. A previous post on coloring-as-prayer began to address this topic. The Ways to Pray feature will always have the words "Ways to pray" as part of the heading.
