A Fun Way to Pray

Sorry folks for not updating this sooner. I thought I would post, though, before leaving for Colorado Saturday.

I don't know about you, but I tend to have a hard time knowing who to pray for in my quiet times. And the more requests I have to pray for, the easier it is to forget. So, I want to share a new fun prayer technique (spelling?) that I started using in my quiet times. Using a cool font on Microsoft Word, I typed out all the people I'm currently praying for, with a specific request by each name. This list includes my family members, extended family, people in the church, and a few evangelistic prayers. After cutting the names apart into strips, I mixed them up in an old notecard box and randomly draw three a day. I call this my "prayer box," and it really does help me with my prayer life.

Have a grace-filled day, and I'll post from time to time in Colorado!
