Seemingly every day my prayer list is getting longer. I seem to be adding new people to it every day. Various family members for a variety of reasons, from unbelief to comfort, healing and strength. Various friends ranging from unbelief, to helping them find a job, to comfort and strength. Our political leaders, our country as a whole, various acquaintances from various platforms, complete strangers who I do not even know more than from sight (specifically a homeless man who was wandering around my store last night).
Every time I pray, I go through my list and hope I do not miss anyone as they are all important to me regardless of ties. I can start a physical list and carry that with me, which wouldn't be a bad idea. But I feel I would get depressed seeing my list grow and grow. There are just so many people.
I guess my one flaw (and it's not really a flaw) is that I care too much about people and everything they are going through even if I have no idea who they are.
I have to admit that at times it does get me down and gets me depressed at how long my prayer list is. I feel their pains and burdens. When they hurt, I hurt.
does anyone else have a prayer list that seems to grow daily?
