Constant Prayer – Some Formality – Part B

Greetings Dear Reader,

Yesterday I talked about formats of prayer.  On the other hand (literally) I have categories of prayer as well.  This hand allows me to remember groups of people for whom I wish to pray.  I learned this from a mentor I had when I was much younger and have found it allows structure without becoming rote or stagnant with my prayer time.

I think of the fingers of my hand as they are thought of by most people.  It make the categories easy to remember and I already remember the people in those categories.  It is as follows.

  

• Little finger – Those who are sick or in need
• Ring finger – Family and friends
• Middle finger – Since it is tallest those who are in government and lead us
• Index finger – Pointer – those who point other toward Christ like ministers and missionaries
• Thumb – I pray for my own spiritual journey

As I said it is very simple.  It also works.

Wishing you joy in the journey,
