Prayer Bracelets

You will need

A selection of wooden or plastic beads, bracelet elastic or cord, scissors, small wooden crosses.
 
 Prayer beads can act as a focus and a structure for our prayers. Firstly, make your bracelet. Thread colours of beads onto a length of beading elastic or cord. Each colour of bead can represent anything that will help you with your prayers. Once you have made your bracelet, sit quietly and reflect on the meaning of the colours. We have some suggestions for the meanings of each colour – see opposite. Another suggestion is ;
White bead – praise and thank God for your many blessings
Orange bead – pray for others (friends, family, the world)
Red bead – prayers for forgiveness
Green bead – prayers for personal concerns and guidance
Blue bead – ask God to help you with your life
Purple bead – stay silent and listen to God
