When I first heard of Anglican prayer beads, I assumed they were another boring, empty, formulaic ritual to be performed. However, I soon learned that these prayer beads are simply a tool that helps me quiet my spirit and enter into God's presence. The anchoring touch of the beads keeps my mind from wandering during prayer time. Praying with the beads allows me to focus my thoughts and "be still and know that He is God" (see Psalm 46:10). This book represents a compilation of Scriptures and songs that I have used to bring myself to a quiet place where I can listen for God's voice. I encourage you to explore the possibility of finding your way into God's presence using Anglican prayer beads.
