These are some great ideals. I will definitely have to start writing down my prayer list and the ideal of setting the alarm and praying on the spot are awesome. My Brother Tony suggested we do this a couple of weeks ago. We both had a rough night and the following morning we had shared what we were going through and Tony said “ do you wanna pray about it?” and I said sure. Let me tell you after we prayed it seemed like the weight of the world was lifted off our shoulders and it set a great mood for the rest of the day. God heard our prayers, our Spirits were renewed and even the issues we had from the night before were resolved and made better. It was incredible! Thanks for the good suggestions Brothers..Chris Guys! These are some great ideals.

On the inside front cover I wrote down a couple of aids to help me get started, like: A.C.T.S. Adoraction Confession Thanksgiving Supplication and below that I wrote my version of the Lord's prayer, basically a summary of each line with my own notes. On the first page I have a prayer list for each day of the week - these are people and things that I always want to pray for, for example family members, churches, pastors...I can see how this might become a monthly list as some days are getting full already. Then in the notebook I put down the date and any special requests that I receive that day - since I keep the notebook with me if somebody tells me something I write it down right away and tell them I am adding them to my prayer list (I also try to pray about it right away but I hadn't been praying with them - I will have to try that). I have also been trying to read some Scripture aloud as part of my adoracion and I will note the passages for each day. It may all seem a little formal or business-like but it has really helped me become more disciplined about taking time out everyday to pray. I'd like to say I haven't missed a day but I must confess there have been a couple of days when I fell asleep (I'm not a morning person so I do this in the evening), when that happened I confessed the next day and asked God to forgive my laziness . -jim It seems obvious now but I started using a prayer notebook a few weeks ago.

I'm going to try and do this more often. I can think of a few times when I have told someone I would pray for them when later I wouldn't be diligent to follow through. I have been trying just to do it when they ask. I also think people have a real need for community and praying for one another together really helps solidify the those communal bonds. Great post man.
