I Pray

Right around New Year’s (Resolutions and all that) I came up with the idea of creating a “Prayer Album” on my ITouch.  It’s a digital photo album of people/things I want to pray for/about on a regular basis.  For me, scrolling through those pictures works better and is more meaningful to me, than simply going down a list of names/prayer request.

My original Prayer Album had about 43 pictures of 55+ people.  It was taking me an hour to get through the list, not that interceding an hour a day is a bad thing!  But the reality is that I only made it completely through my list a few times.

A couple weeks ago I made a revision- Prayer Album, Rev. 2.0- I created separate albums for each day of the week.  Some people are only in one album but some are in 3 or 4 albums.  Mostly I have pictures of people, but I can also upload a logo for example- so I can regularly pray for an organization, ministry or I can upload an image of a flag and pray for a Nation or people group.

I guess I don’t have to have visual reminders to pray/intercede for others- but I like it…and I’m more apt to have my ITouch with me during the day than a prayer journal.  Not only do I normally spend the 10-20 minutes each morning interceding, but I find myself scrolling through the album throughout the day and whispering a quick prayer for the people on my list.

If you like this idea, then feel free to send me $9.99 and create your own Daily Prayer Photo Album.  Or don’t send me any money and just do it anyway.
