The Five Finger Prayer

1. Your thumb is nearest 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 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. I t reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president,
leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our n ation
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 pinkie 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 and
you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
