Prayer Beads

We are invited to just be, and be deeply loved. Doesn’t that sound so simple?

If only.

For many of us, just being doesn’t come easily. Our minds wander, we get anxious, and we judge ourselves for not being good at prayer, stillness, or meditation. 

First, let the judgment go. Seriously. Give yourself some grace.

Second, prayer beads might be helpful. How?

They can: 

• help us stay focused.

• serve as a physical reminder of God’s presence.

• enable us to feel more comfortable with prayer.

• quiet our minds so we can hear God’s voice. 

And yes, it’s okay for Protestants to use beads in prayer. I promise.
