Five Finger Prayer...

Have you ever wondered why we fold our hands when we pray??? What does it mean??
I got the answer through my mom, hehhehe....She got it from Our Daily Bread ( I think..)

Read carefully... Enjoy.

FIVE FINGER PRAYER

Read : JAMES 5:13-18

1. When you fold your hands, the thumb is nearest you. So begin by praying for those CLOSEST TO YOU - your loved ones ( Philippians 1: 3-5)

2. The index finger is the pointer. Pray for those who teach - BIBLE TEACHER AND PREACHERS, and those who TEACH CHILDREN ( may be your boss, your teacher in school, your leader in the church ) (1 Tessalonians 5:25)

3. The next finger is the tallest. It reminds you to pray for those in authority over you - national and local leaders, and your supervisor at work ( 1 timothy 2:1-2)

4. the fourth finger is usually the weakest. pray for those who are in trouble or who are suffering ( James 5:13-16)

5. Then comes your little finger. It reminds you of your smallness in relation to God's greatness. Ask Him to supply your needs ( Philippians 4: 6,19)
