Depending on the situation, I may not always pray with them on the phone but I will as soon as I hang up or as soon as I read the email or whatever. And I've started saying, "I'll pray for you as God brings you to mind" because He is often faithful to do that. That is something I have started doing somewhat recently as well.

I used to be guilty of telling someone I'd pray for them, and although I had every good intention of doing so, I would many times walk away and not think of it again. One of the most important lessons that my pastor has taught me is to pray on the spot when asked. He has modeled that in his own life and I have learned to do the same by watching his example. Whether it's in church, at Walmart, in a parking lot, in a waiting room, or wherever, when someone says, "pray for me about....", I say, let's pray now! I don't have to remember to do it later (although many times I do and pray again), and it is also such a great witness to others about the importance of prayer. If it's worth praying about...it's worth praying about now! It also goes a long way in helping me to stay connected to God all throughout the day. No more promises to pray and then forgetting...it's just done! Hi Sony.
