Prayer is very important to many different religions. Sometimes, even those who aren't a part of a specific church or religion pray to their own deity. But too often, people pray after a horrible event has happened. The Pray Before There Is A Need For Prayer Patch, one of the Christian Patches, reminds us that prayer can be a preventative measure, too. Praying about something before there's a need to pray is one way of preventing problems.
Pray before there's a need for prayer, on one level, this patch is saying that we need to be aware of all that is going on around us, and we need to pray for those things and those people who look like they're going to need help before they actually need it. On another level, it's telling us to be proactive. Don't sit around waiting for a situation to spiral out of control. Get out there and DO something to prevent it from becoming a situation that requires divine intervention. Sometimes, all we can do is pray that God will step in and help us, but sometimes, we need to work to change a situation ourselves.
This patch measures four by one and a half inches. The text is in white on a black background, and there is a black border around the patch that makes it easy to sew it onto leather. If you're putting it on other material, you can iron it on. This patch is a nice way of reminding others to pray, and it's a good way of reminding yourself to take control of your life before there becomes a need for to pray for help.
