So I'm running a year long challenge in my facebook group 'God's Refrigerator.' This one is not as *full on* as most of my regular challenges. Rather, the plan was to focus on one line each month as we slowly and prayerfully art our way through the Lord's Prayer.
For many reasons the challenge got off to a slow start, and here we are in October still praying "who art in heaven." But I think that's just fine - it's a prayer, not a race!
The challenge will involve mostly art journal pages. But to begin with, I thought it would be nice to put the prayer on display.
Our Father Art
First steps - put it on the wall!
"Much more is accomplished by a single word of the Our Father said, now and then, from our heart, than by the whole prayer repeated many times in haste and without attention."
- Saint Teresa of Avila
Even if we know the prayer by heart, there is great benefit in actually visualizing it. Seeing the words before us - especially in a creative way - catches our attention, reminds us to stop for a moment and look to God, in short seeing leads to praying.
Today - I invite you to create a piece of wall art featuring the Lord's Prayer.
Here's a super bonus!
