Prayer shawl ministry. When a knitter is stitching a prayer shawl, she petitions God with every stitch she makes on behalf of the person receiving the shawl. “We come to You Lord God, healer of every ill, and ask for release from pain for all the hurts endured and for the gift of healing. Touch this one and bring peace and healing to her body and soul.”
