I tried to think of a way Lutherans might find a prayer tool like this useful and I remembered that people say, "Pray the catechism." So I wonder, wound one have 10 knots on the road for the 10 Commandments (or 20 with meanings). Then 7 or 14 knotes for the 7 petitions of the Lord's Prayer, and on to the Creed and others. Instead of helping you count the same prayer over and over, it would be a memory help for praying the catechism. Of course, I don't think I'd use it while driving, but facing an icon of Jesus at particular times. There are at certain points on the rope metal beads and separators, so having a larger metal bead would tell you you've finishe one part and it's time to start the next. It would be interesting to think out how something like this could work, whether ever used.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777514643611989502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-82221594886573413782012-08-24T20:35:04.810-05:002012-08-24T20:35:04.810-05:00As friend has sent me a prayer rope that is used i...As friend has sent me a prayer rope that is used in the East for counting prayers.

I find it a very useful way to pray as I head into work (or sometimes home from work) each day.
