Description

In The Prayer Afghan Dr. Linda L. Bielowski adopts an inclusive and expansive approach to prayer. She compares her grandma's assortment of gorgeous, crocheted afghans in varied patterns and versicolored yarns with the myriad styles of prayer available to the intercessor. Each type is effectual for the individual believer's spiritual condition. The author states: "Their [afghans] beauty and splendor equaled Joseph's Coat of Many Colors. Each piece reflected my grandma's feelings, needs, and purpose at the time of its creation. One was neither superior nor inferior to another, for each was a sacred conversation between my grandmother, the potter, and her afghan, the clay." Dr. Bielowski posits that too often we blindly and desperately plea," Teach me to pray!" when we already have the capacity and desire. Just as an infant's tentative, first words "Mama -- Dada" are pure delight to his parents' ears; our feeble attempts to speak with our Heavenly Father are pleasant in His sight and hearing. All our prayers, whether erudite or common; those that whisper and those that wail, even those that may seem like mindless, rote recitation monotonously crossing our lips come from the font of the heart and the wellspring of the soul. They traverse the veil, the thin space, separating us from the Holy of Holies, illuminating the face of God daily till it becomes a torch in our core. Unlike many other collections who compartmentalize individual prayers into airtight categories [Repentance, Comfort, Praise], this one affords each personal work its freedom of voice. Some cry with David's tears of compunction; some sing with Solomon's passion----all echoes the full range of human angst and unsurpassable joy. After all, there is no right or wrong way to pray. Prayer is breath. Breathe deeply and long!
