- Gather in a Circle – Everyone stands or sits in a circle and holds hands. This helps create a sense of unity and connection.
- Give Instructions – The leader explains how the prayer will work. Each person may pray out loud or silently when it is their turn.
- Start the Prayer – One person begins by saying a short prayer. It can be a thank you, a request for help, or any other personal prayer.
- Pass the Turn – When finished, the person squeezes the hand of the person next to them. This signals that it is their turn to pray.
- Continue Around the Circle – The prayer moves from person to person, with each one choosing to pray aloud or silently before passing the turn.
- Close the Prayer – When the prayer returns to the first person, they say “Amen” to signal that the prayer is complete.
