One of the ways of praying the Lord's prayer can be to use a prayer cord, prayer beads or a rosary. One such design is shown on the left. Here I'm collecting resources for rosary style praying of the Lord's prayer particularly related to the book 'Praying the Pattern', but also more widely too.
The cord on the left is a version adapted for the Lord's prayer: there are four 'sabbath' beads/knots which mark the point for reflecting on the next passage of scripture, and the chain of six beads/knots mark the saying of the particular phrase from the Lord's prayer that is being prayed at that point alongside the Bible passage. The symbolism here is of a week with work and rest interspersed.

Simple String Prayer Things
Knotted prayer cords from the author
You can buy 'simple string prayer things' on the Abbey Nous blog. They all come with instructions. There are basic cords with 4x7 knots on the main loop, and a 'quick pray' 5x7 knot version. Background

- Prayer Bead History
- Patricia A. Dilley gives a short history of the known origins of religious praying with beads.
The overall tenor is hostile to the practice from a Christian protestant perspective. Needless to say I'm unconvinced, but think that the history seems helpful if you take the polemics with a pinch of salt. - Full Circle Beads: Anglican Prayer Beads, Anglican Rosaries
