Prayer Station Instructions:
As you hold your piece of twine, take a moment to pause and ask God to show you the unique storyline He is writing in your life. As you read The Knots Prayer tie a knot in your twine every time you say the word knot/not. Then go back to the first knot in your twine and begin a dialogue with God. Work your way down your row of knots pausing to talk with God about what each knot represents. Tie your string around your wrist or to a belt loop as a reminder to continue this conversation with God throughout your day.
