yes, I think it's time for some updates in this blog. =) Actually, I don't really know wat to post up here but here's just something to share with you guys.
I believe prayer is the most powerful and effective tool God has given us and yet sometimes it's hard to know who to pray for. right? Why not we concentrate on praying using our hand in the following guide.
1. First, your thumb which is the nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you like your close friends and family. I'm sure they're the easiest to remember, rite. There's a saying dat goes like this, "To pray for our loved ones is like a sweet duty". ^^
2. The next finger is the pointing finger. It means to pray for those who teach, instruct, and heal. This includes the teachers, doctors, ministers, evangelists and etc. They need support and wisdom to point others in the right direction. So, keep them in your prayers too.
3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It constantly reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders of our country and most importantly the leaders of our church. Also, pray for those who supervise and direct missionary outreach. These people are the ones that shape our nation and they need God's guidance.
Prayer is the heart of your relationship with God.
4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Many people are surprised that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will tell us. It should always remind us to pray for those who are discouraged, in trouble, or in pain. This could mean those missionaries as they can be tempted to feel defeated. Therefore, we should always keep them in prayer as they need continuous strength from God.
5. Last but not least comes our little finger which is the smallest finger of all. It is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says,
"The least shall be the greatest among you." Luke 9:48
Let your pinkie remind you to pray for the people of the world who have the greatest need to find Jesus. Pray that they will open their eyes and see Him. Your 'pinkie' should also remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into perspective, and you'll be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
Here's some verses to read during your prayer time:
Philippians 2:1-8
Exodus 4:12
Psalms 121:1-8
Isaiah 40:29-31
Zechariah 4:6
Ephesians 3:16-20; 6:10-20
We encourage you to remember:
God Always Answers Prayer.
He says, “Yes.” “No.” Or “Wait.”
