Book Cover & Preview Text
THE COLORS OF PRAYER…
…is based on an acrostic of the word “PRAYER”. It is simple enough for a child to understand and learn, but also complex enough that a life time of study will not exhaust it.
The Colors of Prayer is a beautiful and meaningful daily devotional resource and guide. There is a list of scripture texts at the end of each section of the Study Guide. Select a verse for the foundation for your devotional prayer. The beauty of this is that you are using God’s Word in a very personal way. Hopefully, you will soon find that you automatically reach for your Bible at prayer time.
The Colors of Prayer can be studied many different ways: as a small group study guide, as an individual study guide, and as a daily devotional. It also is very meaningful as a focus for a prayer emphasis weekend seminar.

The Colors of Prayer is also a Bible marking plan. Scriptures that relate to each of these colors of prayer are found from Genesis to Revelation. When you put the colors of prayer and God’s Word together, prayer becomes a new and refreshing experience that frees you to claim God’s promises. As portions of scripture are identified to develop a dynamic prayer life; and as you highlight them with the colors, your Bible becomes filled with a rainbow of color, the colors of prayer.

About the Book
God’s Word overflows with scriptures that illustrate essential aspects of prayer. When these aspects and God’s Word come together, prayer becomes a new and refreshing experience. Using the word PRAYER as an acrostic, The Colors of Prayer offers a way to bring these aspects together in an inspiring Bible study guide and Bible marking plan:
praising God for who he is and expressing adoration
responding with gratitude for what he does
admitting and confessing your sins and seeking forgiveness
yielding and surrendering to God
expecting great things from God
rejoicing in the Lord
Each aspect of PRAYER also uses a unique color to help you mark your Bible so you can fill the Word with the colors of prayer, highlighting verses as you seek the Lord. Let God’s Word become a beautiful part of your prayer, and see how the Bible comes alive while your prayer life flourishes.
