Prayer Shawl

[warrior]

Please know that I am not saying that anyone should or should not cover their heads. I am not saying that there is any special power in the shawl I create for anyone. It is a means of having prayer for that special person and comfort to them. They can wrap it around them and pray for themselves and also know that someone else has been in prayer of their behalf.

What about the prayer cloths used in the Bible. I think this is the same principle.

Let's not make this into something it is not.

It is ministry tool to minister to someone in prayer. God Bless.

I've worn a Tallit for the past 2 Sundays as I have been teaching on Christianity's Jewish roots and the sigificance of he passover in the Easter story. Actually the Easter story IS the story of passover. Passover is the greatest story in the entire Bible.

John the Baptist connectec Jesus to the passover when he called Him the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world!

There are some churches who have ministries where ladies pray and crochet or knit the prayer shawls to give them to the sick or people who are having particular situations.



What is your experience with prayer shawls and/or would you appreciate one as a gift?

I know of a church that this is one of the activities for their women. They get together one day a week and have prayer, then crochet or knit shawls. Someone sews a scripture in the finished shawl. Then they take them to hospitals and shut ins, visit with them and give them a shawl for when they are cold or lonely or just need to feel a "hug" of love.

We are getting ready to start this at our church.

Actually the passover story finds it's completion in the story of Christ's death on the cross and the Ishtar story is... well... that is another thread entirely.
