I have always struggled with my prayer time. I don't want to forget anybody, but I don't want to be praying ineffectively for hours every day either. Some techniques like prayers lists or journaling have helped, but I still felt discouraged. A while back I heard someone talking on the radio about how he has an index card for each person in his family to write specific things to pray on. This inspired me. I started doing this for my prayers and I love it. I am more specific for my family and loved ones. Also, I don't feel like I have to pray for every card every day. I work through the batch as much as I can in the time I have.
