Praying with a Painting: Let the Heavens Rejoice

By Leo Boucher. Used with permission; all rights reserved.

Take a mini-retreat and center yourself in God as you gaze at this painting by my dad, Leo Boucher. Ask God through the Holy Spirit to lead you in a few moments of prayer and wonder. You might want to ponder these lines from the Psalms:

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
    let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest sing for joy (Psalm 96:11–12, NIV).

How is God leading you in prayer through the experience of pondering his word as aided by a painting?
