There are many
different ways that a hand can be used as a guide to prayer. Some methods have
appeared on this blog at other times. Here is another way to use your hand to
pray for specific things.
Thumb - those
closest to you (family and friends)
Pointer - those
who lead and guide you (teachers, pastors, police, coaches)
Middle - those
in authority (city, nation and world leaders)
Ring - this
weakest finger reminds us of those who are sick, lonely or sad
Pinky - this
smallest finger reminds us to pray for ourselves last
Family Activity
Create
Self-Portraits
You may have hundreds of photos of your family but
drawing a self portrait adds a dimension that a photo doesn’t have. Sit down as
a family to create your self portraits. Take your time and use nice paper the
same size for everyone. You might like to put your pictures of the wall gallery
style and you could even frame them using coloured card.
