  Idea: Use an old glove and write on each finger to help remember who to pray for.
  

  1. Thumb – Pray for those closest to you: family and friends.
  2. Pointer (Index) – Pray for those who point you in right direction – those who teach, instruct, and heal (like teachers, doctors, priests) They need God’s help as they support others.
  3. Index finger (tallest finger) – Pray for leaders and those who guide us.  They need God’s wisdom and strength.
  4. Ring finger (weakest finger) – Pray for the sick, the poor, and those in need.
  5. Pinky – Last (God first, others second, yourself last) pray for yourself and your own needs.
