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 AS 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, which reminds our leaders.
Pray
for the national leaders, 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 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.
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.
YOU'LL BE
ABLE TO PRAY FOR YOURSELF MORE EFFECTIVELY.
