I mailed out the prayer bracelets that some of you asked for after reading the story behind them. (HERE).
My prayer for these humble little bracelets is that every time we see them on our wrists we remember to whisper a prayer…over and over throughout the day, our focus gently turned towards the One who made us…over and over whispered prayers of thanks, healing prayers for a friend, prayers of provision for another, prayers of deliverance for someone else, prayers for a stranger …
Focus shifted until even in the busy moments my focus is fixed on Him.
Praying without ceasing until my very life is a prayer.
I’m posting this (old) song by Keith Green…Make My Life A Prayer To You because it gives words to the desire of my heart. One line from the song is: … “it’s so hard to see if my eyes are on me”
Internal, self centered focus keeps me from living a life of prayer.
If you have time, maybe listen for a minute…
~Sending you love today my sweet friends~
***UPDATE***
There has been so many of you requesting a prayer bracelet that I’ve had to put the offer on hold until we catch up!
If you’d be interested in making one, HERE is a link to a tutorial.

I wonder if the number of knots is significant?
I’d forgotten this beautiful song. I love it!
No other way to have joy but to pray. And praise. And pray. And praise.

Funny, as I completed a run yesterday I wondered if I would or if I could wash this braclet that is weathering the storms…cleansed, now there is a prayer. Thank you my friend.
