WEEKLY PRAYER SHEET 07/30/2017
Teaching Our Children To Pray The Five-Finger Prayer The five-finger prayer has become rather popular. Have your child hold out one hand. Each finger from the thumb to the pinky can be used to represent someone in their life. •
The thumb: Pray for someone close to them, maybe a family member.
•
The index finger: Say a prayer for someone who points them in the right direction. This can be a school teacher, a babysitter, or a Sunday school teacher.
•
The middle finger: Pray for someone who is in a significant position of leadership, like the president of our country, the governor, or pastor.
•
The ring finger: Say a prayer for a kid who is having family problems. Perhaps his mom and dad are experiencing marriage problems. Pray for the healing of their relationship.
•
The pinky finger: Pray for a friend or a missionary.
