Waking Up Prayer
Dear Lord, I rise from bed to pray,
Then soon go out to school or play,
Let all I meet along the way,
See YOU in me throughout the day.
Amen.
 

 
 

More Like Jesus
Holy Father
Give us each a thankful mind.

Loving Father, Put Away
Loving Father, put away
All the wrong I’ve done today;
Make me sorry, true, and good;
Make me love thee as I should;
Make me feel by day and night
I am ever in thy sight.

                                 The Five Finger Prayer
                                     
                       Five Finger Prayer Instructions

1. Thumb
    
Since your thumb is nearest to you, begin by praying for those
      people closest to you. They are the easiest ones to remember.
      C.S. Lewis said that praying for those we love is a "sweet duty."

2. Index or Pointing Finger
    Let your "pointing finger" remind you to pray for people who teach,
    instruct, and heal. This includes teachers, and doctors. They need
    support and wisdom for pointing others in the right direction.

3.  Middle Finger
     Our tallest finger reminds us of our ministers and other
     Church Staff.

4.  Ring Finger
    Surprisingly, the ring finger is our weakest finger. This weak finger
    helps to remind us to pray for those who are sick, in trouble, or
    discouraged.

5.  Little Finger
     Our little finger is the smallest finger of all, which is where we
     should place our individual wants and desires in relation to our
     world needs. The Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest
     among you." Your little finger should remind you to pray for the
     people of the world who have the greatest need to find Jesus.

 * A Family Prayer *

God made us a family.
We need one another.
We love one another.
We forgive one another.
We work together.
We play together.
We worship together.
Together we use God’s word.
Together we grow in Christ.
Together we love all people.
We serve our God.
Together we hope for Heaven.
These are our hopes and ideas.
Help us to attain them,
O God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
