Handcrafted Protestant Prayer Beads for Contemplative Prayer
Discover beautifully handcrafted Anglican prayer beads designed to help you focus, slow down, and deepen your prayer life.
How Prayer Beads Can Strengthen Your Prayer Life
Protestant prayer beads offer a simple way to pray–without scripts or pressure–so you can:
• focus your attention during prayer
• slow down racing thoughts and distractions
• meditate on scripture passages
• pray through life concerns such as fear, patience, or health
• develop a daily rhythm of prayer
Unlike many other prayer bead traditions:
- There are no required prayers
- There is no fixed method
- There is no right or wrong way to use them
You are free to pray in the way that draws you closest to God.
If you are new to prayer beads, the step-by-step guide below explains the meaning of each bead and how to begin praying with them.
New to Protestant Prayer Beads?
If you are new to prayer beads, you are not alone. Many people discover them while searching for a simple way to slow down and focus during prayer.
Each set of prayer beads from Kristi Lyn Glass includes a 20-page prayer bead guide booklet explaining the history, symbolism, and use of Protestant prayer beads. It also includes seven sample prayers. Kristi’s guided prayer videos are also available to help you begin praying with the beads right away.
Guided Prayer Videos
Kristi Lyn Glass’ guided prayer videos are designed specifically for use with Protestant prayer beads and focus on real-life concerns such as:
• fearful times
• health concerns
• patience
• gratitude
• guidance
If you’re not sure where to start, a simple four-part rhythm can guide you:
Praise → Thanks → Forgiveness → Intercession
Using the cruciform beads, this approach helps you move through a full, balanced prayer time—without feeling repetitive or one-sided. The Four Part Prayer is just one of the many guided prayer videos available.
Each prayer session follows the rhythm of the prayer beads and gently guides you into deeper contemplative prayer.
