Jacob saw a ladder
From Heaven coming down
He learned that prayers matter
God's angels are around
Keep this rock on your bed
To remind you every night
That a prayer must be said
To find angels 'round you, nigh
Then, place this rock on the floor
To greet you the next day
To remind you once more
That God hears when you pray
Then work with the angels
Helping others to see
When you pray God answers
As you seek His blessing
We read this story in devotional recently and I am thinking of giving prayer rocks for Christmas. One side will say, "Prayer," and the other will have a ladder on it.
Jacob 28:10-17 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
