Acronyms have always been a big help to me. And I always feel relieved when learning a new one. This one is called 5 Finger Praying and it's to help you to remember to pray for everyone in your life.
Start with your Thumb: It is the finger closest to you, therefore pray for all of your loved ones and closest friends, they should be the easiest to remember.
Pointer finger: This finger is for all of your leaders, guiding you. It can be your doctor, teacher, employer, pastor, anyone involved in helping others. They often need a lot of prayer to have the wisdom to help others.
Middle finger: This is the tallest finger, and the strongest, therefore with the most power. So remember to pray for the people leading the government and our nation, and those governing your city.
Ring finger: Surprisingly, this is the weakest finger. There are many, many weak people in the world, with nothing to help them or guide them through their troubles. And for the souls of our lost friends and loved ones. They really need the most prayer.
Pinky finger: This is the finger representing you. After praying for all of these things in relation to others, it will be easy to put things into perspective of yourself when praying.
