Prayers are tools. They are means of breaking into the the kingdom of heaven and obtaining it's peace. There are good tools and bad tools. There are also great tools.
Some people are very good with certain ones, but horrible with others. Sometimes, you get so used to using one tool that you miss out on a lot of opportunities. You start to use a new tool and you get things done that you never knew were possible.
Lately, I've been practicing using a new tool. The rosary has been around for a long time, prayer beads for even longer. With so many saints to recommend it, I think it's about time for me to try it.
I'm not Roman Catholic, but I am loving asking for intercession from Mary the Mother of God. My soul delights in the thought of the Communion of Saints and all the brothers and sisters and mothers of Jesus praying at His feet.
Protestant fear of this Communion is silly and foolish. Roman Catholic idolatry to it is just as bad. Instead, I choose to fear God and love his Saints, my family.
