Prayer coloring pages — the Lord's Prayer, praying hands, biblical prayer models

Prayer is the basic practice of Christian life. Across every Christian tradition — Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Reformed, Lutheran, evangelical, Pentecostal — prayer is recognized as the central activity by which believers maintain their relationship with God. The forms and emphases differ, but the practice itself is universal.

This prayer section holds pages organized around the theme of prayer: the Lord's Prayer line-by-line, praying hands symbolism, biblical prayer models (Daniel, Hannah, Hezekiah, Jesus in Gethsemane), and the various structured prayer methods taught in Christian tradition.

The Lord's Prayer (Our Father)

The most-prayed prayer in human history. Jesus taught it in response to the disciples' request "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1). Two versions in the gospels:

Matthew 6:9-13 (the more familiar version)

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Luke 11:2-4 (a shorter form)

Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.

The doxology ("For thine is the kingdom...") is added in some manuscript traditions and used liturgically in most Protestant Christian traditions, though it's omitted in most Catholic liturgical use (which adds it separately, not as part of the Our Father itself).

Our Lord's Prayer bundle covers the prayer line-by-line as a 7-week meditation series:

Week 1: Our Father in heaven
Week 2: Hallowed be your name
Week 3: Your kingdom come, your will be done
Week 4: Give us our daily bread
Week 5: Forgive us as we forgive
Week 6: Lead us not into temptation
Week 7: Deliver us from evil

Each week gets its own coloring page with the line as the central text and meditative discussion questions for kids and adults.

Praying hands — iconographic motif

The praying hands image (palms together, fingers extended upward) is the universal Christian iconographic symbol for prayer. Famously rendered by Albrecht Dürer in 1508 (the "Praying Hands" sketch), the image has become ubiquitous across denominational lines.

Our praying-hands pages come in multiple styles:

Simple outlined hands for preschool
Hands with a Bible verse for kids
Decorative hands with floral border for Bible journaling
Hands with rosary or crucifix for Catholic devotional use
Open-hands (receiving) variant for Pentecostal/charismatic devotional traditions

Major biblical prayer models

The Bible includes substantial recorded prayers that serve as models for Christian prayer:

Old Testament prayers

Abraham's intercession for Sodom (Genesis 18:22-33) — the boldest intercession in scripture
Moses' intercession for Israel (Exodus 32:11-14) — saving the people from God's anger
Hannah's prayer for a child (1 Samuel 1:10-20) — and her song of praise after Samuel's birth (1 Samuel 2:1-10)
Solomon's prayer at the temple dedication (1 Kings 8) — covenantal prayer
Hezekiah's prayer in illness (2 Kings 20:1-6) — the prayer that extended his life
Psalms — the prayer book of Israel and the Church — particularly Psalm 23, Psalm 51, Psalm 139
Daniel praying three times daily (Daniel 6:10) — the prayer that brought him to the lions' den

New Testament prayers

Mary's Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) — the song of praise at the Visitation
The publican's prayer (Luke 18:13) — "God, have mercy on me, a sinner"
Jesus' high-priestly prayer (John 17) — the longest recorded prayer of Jesus
Jesus in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46) — "Not my will but yours be done"
The early church praying (Acts 1:14, 4:23-31) — communal prayer in Acts
Paul's prison prayers — Philippians 1:9-11, Ephesians 1:15-23, Colossians 1:9-14

Our biblical-prayer-models series covers each of these as illustrated coloring pages with the prayer text printed on the back.

Structured prayer methods

Beyond the Lord's Prayer, Christian tradition has developed many structured prayer methods. We publish illustrated cards for the major ones:

ACTS (a Protestant evangelical favorite)

Adoration — praising God for who he is
Confession — acknowledging sin
Thanksgiving — gratitude for what God has done
Supplication — asking for needs

The Lectio Divina (Catholic and Orthodox)

Lectio — reading scripture slowly
Meditatio — meditating on the words
Oratio — responding in prayer
Contemplatio — resting in God's presence

The Examen (Ignatian / Catholic)

A five-step daily prayer developed by St. Ignatius Loyola:

Become aware of God's presence
Review the day with gratitude
Pay attention to your emotions
Choose one feature of the day and pray from it
Look toward tomorrow

The Catholic devotional prayers

Hail Mary, Glory Be, Apostles' Creed, Nicene Creed, Confiteor, Anima Christi, Prayer to Saint Michael
