Ezekiel 25:17

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

I have sooooo much trouble with hands, but I think I have a method I'm using to get better at drawing them. depending on the specific problem you have, it may or may not work.

I can actually draw hands, but they always turn out small. When I draw them big, it turns out either too feminine (when I'm drawing guys guys, heheh) or too masculine (when I'm drawing girls), which sucks. What I do is sketch out how the hands should look, then draw them, then slowly make them bigger and bigger until they fit perportion. But that only works for me with basic hand shapes, when they're curving around something or wateva, they get really messed up. It's awful!!

another thing I tend to do is hide the hands or any other part of the body i can't seem to draw to prevent me from messing it all up like I'll hanve the hands holding a scarf, a flag, behind their back, you know...

I try to simplify the hand by drawing the palm and then the fingers seperately. Although I still manage to bore holes in the paper through constantly getting them wrong and having to rub them out.
