Drawing the Circle: A Simple, Ancient, and Creative Way to Pray

Circle prayers come from the Celtic tradition. They are an ancient and beautiful way to seek God’s protection and blessing by creating a boundary around yourself. Within that boundary, you ask God to bring in all that you need while keeping harm and evil outside its bounds.

What I love about circle prayers is how flexible and personal they are.
