There's an App for that...

Over the years I have told many people that I would pray for them. I really meant it at the time. I would pray as they came to my mind or I remembered our conversation. And there is nothing wrong with that. Even when I would forget until after the surgery or the day or the event, God knew my heart.

About 2 years ago, I started "alarming" myself on my phone. If I told you that I would pray for you, I set an alarm. I got to the point that I would just pull my phone out and put you right in the calendar. One sweet lady got very offended at me. She could not understand why I could not just remember to pray for her. I explained to her that, for me, when I told someone that I would pray for them I needed to know that I was being truthful. And then, I asked her if I could pray for her right then. In the grocery store. In front of everyone. She was grateful and I learned a big lesson.

Prayer is so powerful. Whenever possible, pray in the moment. Right where you are. But, when that is not possible or you need to remember to pray at a specific time, there is actually an App for that! I found it today as I was reading Ann Voskamp's blog, www.aholyexperience.com.  Because she recommended it, I checked out the website. You can record different prayer categories. You can send yourself reminders. Even several a day or one every day of the week. You can even add the contact info and send an email or tweet right from the prayer notebook. I love it!

In case any of you are wondering, I would love to add you to my prayer notebook. I love that you can have all of your prayer request right there with you wherever you are. Check it out and send me your prayer request... I would be blessed to pray for you!

I thank my God every time I remember you. 

In all my prayers for all of you, 

I always pray with joy. 

Philippians 1:3-4.
