I am gulity at times, especially at church, when someone ask for prayer that I tend to be in a hurry or something and say I will pray for them, and I forget. If we would just make it a habit to stop what we are doing right away, and take a moment to pray for that person, what a dfference it would make.

I first realized I had a problem when I was working at the car lot and I told another salesman I would pray for him. (non-believer) He immediately asked if I was just saying that or if I would really do it. I’m a recovering courtesy pray-er too.

For most people there is a sense of relief or even a feeling of acceptance. Then there are those who used the prayer request as a way to gossip or whine about something. After a few times of praying on the spot, the latter seem to stop asking for prayer. It is interesting when I offer to pray right at that moment.

But it's the face-to-face while I'm on the run that I most struggle with. Thanks, Jason. Yeah, text-messages, tweets, emails – I usually prayer right then too (sometimes I still fail).
