Psalm 18:2
A memorial stone for the pocket. Hold it and remember what God has done. Keep the day with Him: one prayer, one name, one day written down.
Stones that remember
“The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust.”
Psalm 18:2 (KJV)
Joshua set up twelve stones so that a child would one day ask, “What mean ye by these stones?” (Joshua 4:6), and hear what the LORD had done. A prayer rock is that memorial, small enough to carry.
“And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.” (Genesis 28:18). The book of Jubilees remembers Jacob at Bethel again: an angel brings him seven tablets, and he is told,
“do thou write down everything as thou hast seen and read.”
Jubilees 32:24 (R. H. Charles)
Enoch and Jubilees speak of heavenly tablets where God's order and our days are written. Enoch is told:
“Observe, Enoch, these heavenly tablets, And read what is written thereon, And mark every individual fact.”
1 Enoch 81:1 (R. H. Charles)
Put the stone on a pillow, a keyring, or in a pocket. The weight is the reminder. The prayer is yours, and so is the record of what God does with it.
Hand-chosen stones. Three ways to give them — plain, wrapped, or by the set.
A river stone and a short card. Pocket, keyring, or pillow.
The plain memorial. You feel the stone and remember to pray. The card tells whoever receives it what the stone is for, with a line to write the day it was given.
Inquire about classicMesh, gold dust, white tulle, and a silver ribbon. Ready to give.
Finished the way a quiet gift should be: the stone still in the hand, the wrapping only a frame around it. For a baptism, a birthday, a hard season, or a new beginning.
Inquire about gift
A set for home fellowships, Bible studies, baptisms, and church tables.
Enough stones that everyone at the table, in the living room or the fellowship hall, can take one home. Faith kept by families and small groups. Inquire for the count you need.
Inquire about ministryGenesis 1:14
“Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.”
The astronomical book of Enoch and the book of Jubilees describe a year of 364 days: exactly 52 weeks, four seasons of 13 weeks each. Because the year is whole weeks, every feast falls on the same day of the week, every year. The Sabbath never drifts. It sits at the center of the clock.
“the sun and the stars bring in all the years exactly, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day unto eternity; but complete the years with perfect justice in 364 days.”
1 Enoch 74:12 (R. H. Charles)
“observe the years according to this reckoning—three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a complete year”
Jubilees 6:32 (R. H. Charles)
Both books were kept as scripture by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and copies of both were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran.

The stone keeps that rhythm in your hand: one prayer each day, one name written down, one day numbered. Over a year it becomes your own chronicle of days, a small written tablet of what God has done.
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
Psalm 90:12 (KJV)
Carry the rock. Lift the prayer.
A prayer for each day of the week, today's place in the 364-day year, and a private chronicle that stays on this device.
Day 1 is the first Wednesday on or after the March equinox (computed for the current year), because Jubilees 2:8 and Genesis 1:14 place the making of the sun, moon, and stars on the fourth day, and the Qumran calendar texts begin the year on that day. Months run 30, 30, 31 days in each season of 13 weeks. Days are counted midnight to midnight in your own time zone. Starting each year at the equinox keeps this count with the sun, so some years carry an extra week (days 365 to 371) before the next day 1; Enoch and Jubilees do not describe that week. Other observers use other start points, so your fellowship's count may differ.
Write who or what you are carrying. Each entry is marked with its day in the 364-day year, so over time it becomes your own chronicle of days. It stays in this browser: a private reminder, not a public wall.
