Dear ----, Oct 31 2006 Nov 22-25 2006 Oct 21 2010
We had the first prayer while you (your friend) were still on the phone telling us about your problem, After a few visits and a few prayers ( some of us have been praying for you every day)we determined that this is the best Prayer Shawl for your condition.
A shawl is like a scarf, usually worn around the shoulders, often as a decorative garment; a Prayer Shawl is more than that, it offers a sense of comfort and warmth, an assurance that someone is praying for you; Every time you use it, you will benefit from the blessings that have been directed toward it.
A Prayer Shawl is is basically a shawl, kerchief, bandanna, lap-robe, blanket, ---* anything, that the person can wear that has been prayed over, and sent with God's blessings. * Which ever is is appropriate for the person, condition, or circumstances.
When we pick up the Prayer Shawl when pray for it's effectiveness, we like to think we are sending an Angel along with it, to watch over, comfort, bless, heal you.
How effective are they? This depends on the person receiving the gift, as well as, the one presenting the gift, and if this is God's will for a healing or comfort during a time of trial; and the followup and follow-through prayers.
A Shawl sent by a Prater Group with an initial prayer and blessing is just that; - But, with followup and follow-through prayers, with regular visits by members of the Prayer Group*, this Prayer Shawl can become a real point of contact, and the conductor of many comforts and blessings; which can and often does lead to a real healing. * This may be done by whatever means is appropriate for the circumstances; both yours and ours.
Or if the person receiving the Shawl sets it aside and don't use it, than it has lost its ability to act as a point of contact*, but this does not mean that our prayers are not being answered; quite the contrary the Angels of God can and will deliver our prayers with or without the Shawl. * Perhaps, after a while the person will feel inspired to pick up the Shawl, and start using it, or perhaps just the sight of it is enough to remind you who is praying for you.
The Prayer Shawl is a physical means of warmth, comfort, affirmation, love, healing; as well as a point of contact for our prayers and God's blessings; as well as a reminder of who is praying for you.
Remember the Shawl is little more than a piece of cloth, that has been blessed with a mission, to comfort, warm, show our love and caring and act as a point of contact for our prayers and blessings; and to remind you who is praying for you.
Also remember the Shawl, in it self, only has what power we have given it; or, you allow it to have.
It is important to remember, that the one(s) presenting the Prayer Shawl as well as the rest of the group are responsible for follow up and follow through prayers, rather it be a week, month, year, or several years.
This is where a prayer journal would be handy or essential.
This Prayer Shawl is presented by the members of the Rock-A-Bye Prayer Circle Ministries
On the other hand, if the person to receive the Shawl doesn't have any faith in our integrity or our ability to pray effective prayers, or the ability of the Shawl to to carry a prayer blessing, or perhaps don't have any faith in prayer; - - then ----. we can still pray
This was inspired by the presenting of a Prayer Shawl from a good friend, by the pastor of our local Church, to my wife in a time of meed.
Note! we do not expect anyone to travel more than 1 or 2 towns from where they live to make one on one visits very often. If they volunteer to do this, Great!! We will still pray for you no matter how far away you are, as long as you or someone will communicate with us.
Prayerfully
