Quilter's
Prayer

- Guide my hands
to work as Your hands work, to know the power of Your
love in every stitch I make, in every thread I knot. May my hands be
guided by the same love and care with every quilt I make, knowing that
this love and care was and is and will continue to be a gift of
blessing to the one it is intended for.
- May
the works of my hands be pleasing in Your sight, O
God.
- Lord,
bless my work today.
- As
I choose materials and patterns, may I be reminded of
the uniqueness You blessed us all with.
- As
I cut each length of thread, may I be reminded of the doors that must
be closed in our lives so that a new and stronger door may be opened.
- As
I twist each knot, may I be reminded of a bond of
love so strong, nothing will break it.
- As
I run the thread between my fingers, may I be
reminded of the times You have touched my life, my heart, my soul.
- As
I sew each stitch, may I be reminded of the healing
power of Your grace in each of us.
- As
I concentrate on my craft, may I be reminded of the
love and care You put into each of our lives.
- As
I add my last stitch, tie my last knot, cut the final
cord, may I be
reminded of the completeness with which You commanded in each of us
before we were ever given to this life.
- "Whatever your
hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the
grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor
knowledge nor wisdom." (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
