(~) Five Finger Prayer
1.Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for
those closest to you.
They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S.
Lewis once said,
"a sweet duty."
2.The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach,
instruct and heal. This
includes teachers, doctors and ministers. They need support and wisdom in
pointing
others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.
3.The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders.
Pray for the president,
leaders in business and industry and administrators. These people shape
our nation and
guide public opinion.They need God's guidance.
4.The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact
that this is our weakest
finger; as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray
for those who are
weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You
cannot pray too
much for them.
5.And lastly comes our little finger; the smallest finger of all. Which
is where we should
place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, "the
least shall be the
greatest among you." Your pinky should remind you to pray for yourself.
- By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs
will be put into
proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
