5 Finger Prayer

This was a message I got from my friend on Christian Women Connected.

Had ever heard before, but so refreshing
to remind it.
Just wanna share this with all of you!

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

 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 C. S. Lewis 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.
