Prayer of Comfort
May this prayer shawl surround you with the Love of God.
May you feel the embrace of God, who though unseen, is with you now.
May you be shielded from all that causes you worry and anxiety.
Rest in the knowledge that you are loved and cared for by a God whose gentle touch caresses your soul.
May you be strengthened by the prayers of those who knit this shawl.
Though they do not know you personally.
It is their intention to bring you comfort through the symbol of this shawl.
Together, they join with you in the hope that your journey will be more peaceful.
May this prayer shawl be of comfort to your family also.
May they draw courage from its beauty, trusting that when they are not able to be here, God remains and is present with you.
May God bless you with love beyond measure.
May God’s face shine upon you and give you peace.
Amen
