Family & Friends
Since the thumb is the closest finger to you, start off by praying for the people who are closest to you—your family and friends, neighbors, team members and classmates to name a few.
Scripture: I Timothy 2:1
Teachers
The next finger is the index finger—the one you use to point things out, like following the words when you are learning to read or pointing out locations on a map. This should remind you to pray for your teachers and anyone else who is helping you learn and grow. Don’t forget to include parents, small group leaders, coaches or instructors, doctors and counselors in this group!
Scripture: Titus 2:7
Leaders
Your middle finger is the tallest, reminding you to pray for leaders and people who have authority. In addition to your pastor, you can pray for people in government and all other leaders to have wisdom to make good decisions for the people they lead.
Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:2
Weak & Troubled
The fourth finger—also known as your “ring finger”—is the weakest finger. It can remind you to pray for the sick, sad and needy in your community and around the world. Anyone who is facing a problem can use your prayers!
Scripture: Galatians 6:2
Yourself
The pinky finger may be the smallest, but it’s no less important than all the other fingers! Once you have prayed for all the other groups of people, be sure to take time to pray for your own needs as well.
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17
No matter what age you are, you can practice this prayer wherever you go! Spend additional time with kids opening up God’s Word and tying each prayer to a verse in Scripture. This deepens their understanding of the importance of practicing prayer as something God has commanded us to do and helps build their spiritual muscles
