Quilts And Prayers

A patchwork quilt is made up of many small pieces, stitched together carefully by loving hands. As each small piece is added, a coverlet begins to be formed. And because they are stitched together, none is lost. Each piece becomes part of the whole quilt. Little bits and pieces combined will make a quilt - a coverlet.

And so it is with prayer. The small prayers, over time, combine to make a bigger picture. Diligence to pray is as the stitching which binds the quilt together. Remembering to say the tiny prayers will create a strong covering.

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
Philippians 4:6 KJV
