Five Finger Prayer

Cherish Yesterday- -Dream of Tomorrow --Live Today


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. 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.
