TYPES OF PRAYER
ACTS (this is using the ACTS pattern)
Five-Finger Pattern
Points to self (separate direction from other fingers). This is a prayer for yourself or
for your own life.
Ask God to bless your life, your study, your health and all your concerns.
Example:
O Lord, my life is open before you. Touch me and bring me into your presence. I am weak
and your are strong. Restore my whole being that I may find joy in you. Bless my life, my
health
Thumb
Points direction. Pray for all people who gives direction and guidance like
teachers, lawyers, doctors, counsellors and ministers
Example:
O Lord, thank you for the gift of teaching. Equip our teachers with wisdom and truth to
shape our hearts and minds.
Mighty Healer, I bring our doctors before you. They are our earthly healers. Bless the work
of their hands that through them their patients may receive healing
Pointing Finger
Tallest of all. Pray for those people who are in higher positions like
government leaders, spiritual leaders, medical leaders and civic leaders
Example:
Give our government leaders wisdom on how to stop virus and stabilize our economy.
Give our medical/civic leaders insight into how to stop the virus. Inspire them to display
courage, hope, generosity and kindness
Middle Finger
Loved finger. Pray for your loved ones who are your parents, brothers, sisters,
relatives, in laws, and friends.
Example:
May our family be protected from harm and sadness. May we enjoy the privilege of
spending time together, to share joy during special occasions and to be there for each other when
there is a need for comfort. May good health prevails within our family and the rest of the
families in the world
Ring Finger
Smallest of all. Pray for the less fortunate, under-privilege, orphans, widows,
lonely, bereaved, sad, abandoned, poor, and unwanted.
Example:
You are a loving God, and for those who are less fortunate… please fill them with hope,
love and grace so that they will never go empty with your satisfying presence. Pour them with
your blessings that they may find joy in their hearts.
