How to keep a prayer list
Most of us have said “I’ll pray for you” and then forgotten, not for want of love but because a week is crowded and names slip away. A written list keeps that promise. Samuel told the people of Israel, “God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you” (1 Samuel 12:23), and a list on the table or tucked in a Bible is one plain way of not ceasing.
Why a short list each day
Paul asked that “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men” (1 Timothy 2:1), and a list of thirty names read every night soon becomes a list read in a hurry. Spread across the week, each day holds only a few, so each person gets a moment of real attention. The people closest to you, a husband or wife, your children, a friend who is gravely ill, can go on every day, and everyone else takes their turn.
What to write beside a name
A few words are enough: “healing after surgery”, “a new job”, “peace with her brother”. They remind you what you are asking for, and later they let you see what God has done. When a prayer is answered, mark it answered and it moves to its own list with the date, which is a good page to read on a hard day.
Your list stays with you
What we write on a prayer list is often about someone’s health or family, so this list stays in your own browser on this device and is never sent to us. Print the week to keep it in your Bible or on the fridge. Clearing your browser’s data clears the list as well, so print a fresh copy now and then.
Praying through the day’s names
Some of us pray the day’s names in the morning, others at the end of the day. Hold each person before God for a moment, say the need in your own words, and thank him for them, trusting the promise Jesus gave for every name on the page: “Ask, and it shall be given you” (Matthew 7:7).
