5 Finger Prayer

[Guest guest]

This is so neat. I had never heard this before.........

This is beautiful - and it is surely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part

of our lives.

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. 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 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 perspective and you will be

able to pray for yourself more effectively.

Should you decide to send this to a friend, you might brighten someone's

day! Pass this on to someone special... I did.
