A prayer rope is a cord with many knots, which is employed by
Christians to count the number of times one has prayed the Jesus
Prayer or, occasionally, other prayers. The use of the prayer
rope makes it possible to pray the Jesus Prayer unceasingly and
without distraction, and it helps to overcome temptations in
one’s spiritual struggle in order to fulfill God’s commandments.
We were created by God and for God and with Him only can we be
fulfilled, in every good sense of the word. God is our parent,
and our closest neighbor, and our joy, and our comfort, and our
patience, and our perseverance, and our repentance, and our
tears, and our prayer, and our love, and our freedom, and our
happiness, and our , and our food, and our drink, and our
clothing, and our future, and our goal, and our strength, and―all
things ours. It is up to us only to have a good intention, to use
the gift of freedom in order to build union with God (through
prayer) and to struggle in that direction, while everything else
is an act of God’s grace, which cooperates with us.
