5 Fingers prayer - ext.

This is beautiful - and it issurely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part of our lives.

　

　

1.Your thumb

is nearest you. So begin your prayers bypraying for those closest to you. They arethe easiest to remember. To pray for ourloved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a'sweet duty.'

2.The next finger

is the pointing finger. Pray for those whoteach, instruct and heal. This includes
teachers, doctors, and ministers. Theyneed support and wisdom in pointing others inthe right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next finger
is the tallest finger. It reminds us ofour leaders. Pray for the president,
leaders in business and industry, andadministrators. These people shape our
nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth fingeris 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 andothers. As the Bible says, 'The least shall be the greatest among you.' Yourpinkie 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.
