Prayer Station Instructions:
Prayer should be a simple and central part of our daily living. We, so many times, focus our daily prayers on those that touch our lives directly, the people we can see, touch and hear with our own ears. It is easy to forget that there are thousands of people beyond our reach that are in desperate need of supplication. Those people are out of sight but should not be out of mind.

Take a good look at the map. Find the place that you call home. Find or discover a place you have never been. Maybe it is a place you know well and have always wanted to visit. Maybe it is a place that you know nothing about.

Find a comfortable place to settle down and focus in prayer. Open your hand and hold it palm up. Now open your mind and remember to pray beyond your personal world and into the unfamiliar world. Each of your five fingers can help remind you to pray BIG every day.

1. Pinkie-pray for people who are ill
2. Ring Finger-pray for the people who need to experience God’s love
3. Middle Finger-pray for the people in power
4. Pointer Finger-pray for people who lead
5. Thumb-pray for people far away

Take a moment to practice your new five finger prayer. Don’t forget to pray for the people of the country you choose on the world map.
