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 one is, as C.S Lewis said, a “sweety duty.”

2. THE NEXT FINGER IS THE POINTING FINGER.

Pray for those who heal, teach, and instruct. This includes doctors, teachers, and ministers. They need wisdom in pointing others in the right direction.

3. THE NEXT FINGER IS THE TALLEST FINGER.

It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president and leaders in business and industry. These people shape our nation. They need God’s guidance.

4. THE FOURTH FINGER IS THE RING FINGER.

This is our weakest finger. It reminds us to pray for the weak, those in trouble or in pain. You cannot pray enough for them.

5. AND LAST COMES OUR LITTLE FINGER, THE SMALLEST FINGER OF ALL.

This is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. The Bible says, “He who is least among you all – he is the greatest” (Luke 9:48). After you’ve prayed for the other four groups your own needs will be put into perspective.
