Is your mind prone to wander?

Prayer beads can help you with clarity and focus...

In this self-paced study we will learn how prayer beads serve as a tool to assist us in the practice of getting still, slowing down our busy lives in order to enter into a richer time of prayer and deeper worship. The practice of pausing on each bead during prayer helps us to center our hearts on the presence of God and to guard our minds against distraction. We will do an exploration of prayer beads, learning a brief history, and then practice praying with beads to learn how this spiritual discipline can help us to set our minds on Christ, moving our prayers from our heads to our hearts.

Prayer beads

acts as an anchor to help us focus our thoughts and to still our mind
