Prayer Streams that Sparkle

I am always on the lookout for new ways to think about prayer.  I think that many of us feel like we don't know how to pray, or we feel that our prayer life is stale.

A friend of mine wrote the following in an e-mail, and I wanted to remember it:

"I always picture sparkly pink and gold streams of energy covering the people I love. Kind of my way of praying."

I think it's a cool way of thinking about asking for blessings (or protection or just about anything) to rain down on people.
