I've found two helpful hints that keep me on track with spontaneous requests. I keep some 3X5 cards in my pocket and jot down a request when I get it and/or I pray for the person & their request on the spot. Thanks for the blog on remembering to pray for people.

It is a treasure you give your children each night in the form of prayer. When mine were little and I used to read to them each night, we would always end with prayer together. But now that the boys are nearly eleven, they read in bed by themselves and the prayer is often not done with me . You have convicted me. I talk to the boys often about their own need for prayer…but I think doing it together makes it deeper…at least until they learn how to move beyond a “please bless me and bless these people” list. But, yes, God is amazing the way he bursts into our thoughts and causes us to pray for someone/something seemingly out of the blue!

To which I reply: I am not perfect, just forgiven! (And loved, despite my faults.) I do try to tone down my sense of humour,.... it just keeps getting away from me!
