While I was trawling the internet for play-related prayer topics and resources I came across a website called PLAYFUL PRAYER with the tagline, ‘Exploring creative communication with God’.
The blogs posts are by Susanna from the UK. She writes,
This blog exists to inspire you and I to play and explore with different ways of communicating with God. There are many different ways to learn and express. I happen to be a visual and kinesthetic learner: Truth and beauty sink into my spirit when I see and do. Don’t get me wrong, I do love words: There’s great power in spoken and written word but sometimes I get a bit ‘word weary.’ So, recently I’ve been having lots of fun praying in creative ways.
Here are some ways it’s helped me:
- Focus when I pray for others (I’m easily distracted!)
- Going deeper into understanding the bible
- Emotional healing, overcoming fears, breakthrough freedom and spiritual growth
- I’ve found new ways to worship God, thank him & mediate on his character
- Ways to express myself when I can’t find the words
- By creating something physical and visual it helps to share the joy with others
The most recent blog post is dated January 23, 2018. Still, the site is a treasure trove of ideas to inspire playful prayer activities where you are – in your family, church and neighbourhood.
