What does prayer look like? Praying in Color, led by author Sybil MacBeth, introduced an intercessory prayer practice for the fidgety, visual, and word-weary person.The process uses pen, paper, and colored marker. The product is a prayer icon—a visual reminder to pray throughout the day. This workshop was based on the book of the same title: "Praying in Color—Drawing a New Path to God" by Sybil MacBeth.
