I can't think of any Sunday School Class that doesn't have a prayer list. To be clear, our Lord doesn't need a list. This is our list. It serves as a great way to keep up with or track those who need and or request our prayers, it also serves as a good reminder so we don't forget anyone, because these lists are usually long. More than likely each of us have told at least one person that we would pray for them and then forget. Even our best intentions can go unattended. We're left feeling bad and struggle forgiving ourselves. A Prayer List is not magic, but the power we have through prayer is. Most lists contain friends, loved ones, or Church Members, people that we care for very much. Some names come from our hearts, some ask for themselves and we can be sure some beg silently, but they all deserve, expect, and trust us to lift them up. These lists contain not only names but also expectations. Our list implies to people that we are committed to praying for them and they expect us to make good on our word, because this is "Church" isn't it?. When we pray we are following our Lord's instructions. His written Word even tells us to, "pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17

We are blessed to have our Class Pray List at our finger tips 24/7 through our website. adults4christ.com
What we do with these lists says more about us than those whose names are written on them.
