Dear Lord;
Bless my hands as I knit today.
May each twist of the yarn guide me to create a pattern of love
and comfort in my work and remind me of Your ultimate protection.
Wrap me in Your spirit so that I will be more caring towards those in need.
Grant me patience as I create this shawl.
And bless my handiwork as it travels to bring comfort and peace
to someone in need of Your warming embrace.
Amen.
