I’m in agreement. I keep a list of people to pray for too, and more and more in recent years, I keep mine focused on an individual, or sometimes a couple, on a particular day. My wife always heads the list, then family, then others. “Others” have included this site, and other sites, and particular couples on them whose marriages move me to do so.

I give myself no credit for this, but God has drastically reduced the times I say I’ll pray (with good intentions), and forget. I know I count on others’ prayers in time of need, and know how I would feel. Of course, if and when we do forget, it doesn’t mean it’s too late to start, and our Father is able to remind us, and righteous and just to forgive us. And yes, often it’s best to pray right then and there, depending on how the Spirit leads.

A long time ago, someone told me that when you tell someone that you are going to pray for them, go ahead and do it right then and there. Even if you don’t stop and pray aloud with them, talk to God in that moment. When I tell someone I’ll pray for them, I like to do it right then.

I love to pray for others, and I know there is a time and a place that is both comfortable for them and the person praying. I’m one of those who have the organizational skills to be able to do that for various people I meet throughout the day. I often pray for them right then and there, other times I put them on my prayer list for daily prayer.
