Personal Prayer

You do not need to use a prayer list to have a Christian Prayer life! We are called to devote ourselves to faithful prayer not to a prayer list.
However, I have found a list (pdf, Word) to be very helpful in focusing me and helping me to be diligent in prayer.
I find systematically working through a prayer list helps me to pray regularly for people, and also things that I know are important but are not necessarily urgent. It helps me not to feel overwhelmed or to think that I should try to pray for everybody or everything in one day.
It helps me to be thoughtful about the things I am praying for and not just to pray for the things that come to mind in that (probably chaotic) moment of life. It helps me not to be as distracted from praying.
