The Five Fingers of Prayer:

Dear Kinyua John,

The Five Fingers of Prayer:

Your HAND is your Plan.

1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin by praying for those closest to you, what is near you. Our parents, spouse, our children, or even estranged family members, C.S. Lewis said, "to pray for loved ones is a sweet duty." Many of us fail in this area by being pushy with our family and not remembering them in prayer.

2. The next finger is the pointer finger. Pray for those that point or show direction in our lives. Pray for those who teach, instruct, and heal. It is far easier to criticize their mistakes or failures than to pray for them. They need support and wisdom in pointing oth- ers in the right direction whether they realize it or not.

3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders, or people who exercise authority over us. Pray for our President, boss, or administrators that work around us. These people need the Lord in a very special way as they make laws administer justice and enforce the law for our benefit and for the glory of God. Many of these individuals are without Jesus and need to know His grace and power.

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.

5. Lastly is our little finger; the smallest of all. This is where we should find ourselves, last of all. The Bible says, "the least shall be the greatest among us". Af- ter you have prayed for the four other groups you should be more able to pray for yourself more effectively.

Your glory is what we seek

In fact, not to intercede for others is sin. “As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you” (1 Samuel 12:23)

“Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray” (Psalm 5:2).

Jesus assured His disciples that whatever they asked in His name—meaning in His will—would be granted (John 15:16; 16:23).
