Prayer
"Pray for one another" -
James 5:16
Also Read
Philippians 1:3-5;1 Thessalonians 5:25;1 Timothy 2
Prayer is a conversation/ communication with God, not a formula as to a best friend. Yet sometimes we might need to use a "method" to freshen up our prayer time. We can pray the Psalms or Scriptures (The Lord's Prayer) or use the ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication). And we need to know some great truths behind prayer.
"Prayer necessarily doesn't change things for us, but it changes us for things". Let us remind ourselves of this wonderful truth that the Lord really wants to build the repented sinner and make him radiant as Christ. When we pray for others, let's use these five finger prayer as a guide.
1.When we fold our hands the thumb is nearest to us, so lets begin by praying for those closest to us - our loved ones (Philippians 1:3-5).
2. The Index finger is the pointer. Pray for those who teach - Bible teachers and Preachers, and those who teach children (1 Thessalonians 5:25).
3. The next finger is the tallest. It reminds us to pray for those in authority - national and local leaders etc (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
4. The fourth finger is the weakest. Pray for those who are in trouble, sickness and in depression (James 5:13-16).
5. The smallest finger, it reminds us of our smallness in relation to God's greatness. Lets ask Him for the day to day needs (Philippians 4:16-19).
Whatever method we use, lets feel free to talk with our Father God. He is waiting to hear what's in our heart.
