1. Your thumb is closest to you, so begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember.
2. The next finger is the pointer finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal - teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction.
3. Next is the tallest finger, to remind us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. They guide our nation and public opinion and need God's guidance.
4. Next is our ring finger, surprisingly, our weakest finger. It reminds us to pray for those who are weak, lost, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night.
5. And last is the pinky. Which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. The Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinky reminds you to pray for yourself. After you've prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into perspective.
