FOCUS ON PRAYER |
"O Lord, let your ear
be attentive to the prayer of this your servant
and to the prayer of your servants who delight in
revering your name."

Five Finger Prayer
-
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."
-
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.
-
The next finger is the
tallest finger. It
reminds us of our
leaders. Pray
for
government leaders,
leaders in business and
industry, and
administrators. These
people shape our nation
and guide public
opinion. They need God's
guidance.
-
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.
-
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.
