Finger Prayer Labyrinth

The prayer labyrinth is an ancient tool used for prayer; the winding path a metaphor for our journey in Christ. To begin, place your index finger on the outside opening. Using your finger, slowly and thoughtfully trace the path from the outside opening into the center. As you “travel” toward the Rose of Sharon release your cares and concerns. Shed the confusion and busyness of your heart. Empty and quiet yourself before God.

When you reach the center, place your three middle fingers into the rose petals and close your eyes. Tell God what is on your heart. Say special prayers for healing for yourself or loved ones. Seek clarity and direction. What are your hopes and dreams? Remain in the center for as long as your like.

When you finish your prayers, again use your index finger and trace the same path from the center back out to where you began. As you move at your own pace to the edge, be empowered to be more authentic in yourself and in your service to your family, community, and the world.
