Who is a Prayer Warrior?

My mom was one--a Prayer Warrior. When she passed away, I cleaned out her purses. There I found her prayer lists on paper. I know that years later her prayers for me and her family have been answered.

2011 kept me busy recording Scripture highlights every day. In 2012 I also want to be more diligent in my prayer life. This is the life of the Christian afterall.

There is actually more technology for doing this. I learned about this through http://www.challies.com/resources/prayermate. Echo Prayer  and PrayerMate--Quiet Time Organiser, an application on iTunes. The picture is from the later and the spelling is O-R-G-A-N-I-S-E-R. It is available in English and German and the developer is Andy Geers.

Prayer is a discipline and as a discipline it needs training. I am enjoying how others pray in classic books such as Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening and Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers & Devotions.

 John Piper writes on The Sovereignty of God and Prayer and  R. C. Sproul answers the question, If God Is Sovereign, Why Pray?

Who is a prayer warrior? He or she has an important nonvisible role in God's kingdom. I aspire to be one. Are you one? "How can I pray for you?" might sound condescending or patronizing , but is it really? Daniel said in 1 Samuel 12:23,
far be it from me that I should sin against
 the LORD in ceasing to pray for you.

  2. Finally got an iPhone 4S because I had an upgrade when my five year old cell phone cracked on concrete. So I am excited to use this PrayerMate App. I pray for Social Media friends such as you, Ginger, on Fridays.
