PRAYER SQUARES!
PRAYER PILLOWS!
CARE SQUARES!
PRAYER QUILTS!

Prayer Squares are becoming very popular, both with those who create them, and those who receive them.  An excellent way to send love, prayers and caring thoughts to your special people, or even as a ministry to strangers in need, Prayer Squares and their various "cousins" bring comfort, encouragement, hope and love to all involved with them. 


















Created from many different colors, patterns, textures and styles of fabric, each 10" Prayer Square is unique and created with love and fun.  You can almost feel the prayers, love, laughter, joy and care with which it was created.  The back is perfect for creator and visitors to sign and leave messages.

Reaching for Life, Inc., which is a non-profit organization, creates these little treasures to send to the military, shut-ins, the sick or those who simply need a special touch from God in a physical form.  The following note is a sample of one we attach to a Prayer Square sent to a child in the hospital (or hurt or sick). 













For instructions on making Prayer Squares and related items,
Dear Friend,
This little Prayer Square was made for you and your family with love and care.  As you get well, keep your Prayer Square close, and have visitors sign the back to record their love and prayers for you and your family.  (Be sure to use permanant ink!)
Each stitch represents a thought of love to you, and as you enjoy the many patterns and colors of this Prayer Square, may you...
*  Thank God for present blessings
*  Be filled with comfort, hope and & joy for your future
*  Recall pleasant memories
*  Realize that this was created and given with Prayers for YOU, that God's Love and Blessings are recognized everywhere, and always!
With Love and Prayers,
