Prayer Knots

We invite you to try this next activity. 

Firstly, you will need to find a piece of string/rope/twine to hold. As you hold the string, take a moment to pause and ask God to show you the storyline he is writing for your life. As this storyline comes to mind, make a knot in the rope.

Continue this process until you have around five knots. These knots symbolise your worries, stresses and insecurities.

Now, work backwards, starting from the last knot you created, untie it while talking to God about what this knot represents. Slowly repeat this process, working your way back to the first knot.

Take your time, and explain in detail to God why you want to let go of this burden.

You will soon find that all knots are untied, and you once again have a straight piece of string. The string is your relationship with God. The knots represent anything that strains it or temporarily puts a stop to it.

By communicating to God, these knots disappear, and the relationship is back to how it was at the beginning. This can also be seen in the sense of a relationship with a friend, a family member, a teacher, a partner, or with anyone.

We strongly encourage you to take the time to untie these relationships in your life that are currently knotted.

Prayer through Music

Listening to music is a powerful way to relax and manage stress. A slower tempo song can soothe the stress of the day by quieting your mind and relaxing your muscles.

If you are looking for some background music while you are studying or just relaxing at home, I encourage you to check out Endless Years, songs written Will Reagan on Spotify.

“Set a fire down in my soul, That I can’t contain, that I can’t control. I want more of you God, I want more of you.”
