PRAYER FOR
THOSE LIVING ALONE

I live alone, dear Lord, stay by my side
In all my daily needs, be Thou my guide.
Grant me good health, for that I pray
To carry on my work from day to day.
Keep pure my thoughts, my every deed,
Let me be kind and unselfish in my neighbor's needs.
Spare me from fire, from floods, malicious tongues,
From thieves, from fear, and evil ones.
If sickness or an accident befall me, Then humbly, Lord,
I pray, hear Thou my call. And when I am feeling low or in despair, Lift up my heart and help me in my prayer.
I live alone, dear Lord, yet have no fear
Because I feel Your presence ever near.

5 Finger Prayer

1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for
those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our
loved ones is, as C.S. Lewis once said, a "sweet duty".

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach,
instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They
need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep
them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders.
Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and
administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion.
They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is fact that
this is our weakest finger; as any piano teacher will testify. It should
remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need
your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little finger; the smallest finger of all. Which
is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible
says, "the least shall be the greatest among you." Your pinky should
remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four
groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be
able to pray for yourself more effectively.
