The Five Finger Prayer
Posted in Inspirational
I found this in amongst a pile of papers that I needed to go through, it had been ripped out of a magazine. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:
The Five Finger Prayer
- Your thumb is the nearest you. Begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember.
- The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers.
- The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the Prime Minister, leaders in business and industry, and administrators.
- 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.
- And lastly comes our little finger, the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. 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.
