I have made a couple of them for elderly senior ladies at my church, and this is how I understand prayer shawl: Prayer for the person you are making the shawl for. I do that with the other items I make as well, since most of my knitted items go on the mitten tree at church to be donated. Basically, I've made prayer shawls, Shelley L.

Often when I was the most discouraged, I'd wrap it around my shoulders and pray, thanking God for the dear strangers who poured their love into this quilt and prayed for me as they made it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Tangible gifts of love can really speak to the heart and be a reminder of the love and prayers of other!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-44210082181284324452008-06-26T16:02:00.000-07:002008-06-26T16:02:00.000-07:00I love this idea.

While I am not currently ill and thus not in the target audience for receiving these, I would like to have a prayer shawl for when I am spiritually and emotionally hurting. To be able to physically wrap the prayers of others around me like the arms of God sounds so comforting! I think it would be a very special gift to receive from a friend - more special than other things Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-33821440395537157702008-06-26T13:55:00.000-07:002008-06-26T13:55:00.000-07:00Melinda over at Faithchick said it was primarily f...Melinda over at Faithchick said it was primarily for cancer patients, which I hadn't known.
