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.

What Are Protestant Prayer Beads?

Protestant prayer beads—often called Anglican prayer beads—are a simple devotional tool that helps Christians focus their prayers through a repeating pattern of beads and short prayers.

These prayer beads guide believers through a peaceful rhythm of prayer while meditating on scripture, short prayer phrases, or themed prayers.

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.

I used my prayer beads last night and something wonderful happened... Now my beads feel like an even stronger faith point of contact for me. They allowed me to focus on Christ and forget the cares of this world. I invited Him and the Holy Spirit and they showed up in a mighty, but most gentle way.

Prayer Doesn’t Have to be Complicated

It can be quiet.
Simple.
Intentional.

And sometimes, all it takes is a steady rhythm and a willing heart.
