I'm a fan of paper. I love a new spiral notebook, a pad of paper, or a brand-spanking new journal. I like turning actual pages of books, writing notes in my Bible, and sticking bookmarks and sticky notes on pages to treasure. Sure, when I drop my Bible or journal on the floor, papers scatter like dust in the wind, but that's the way I like it. So I'm completely shocked that I actually tried a prayer journal app the other day for my iPhone. Normally I would write my prayers down each day in my journal. It was effective, but sometimes I forgot to pray for a friend I promised to lift up that day, or I got distracted while praying and felt I just left God "on hold" while I stopped and completed some unnecessary, but at the time I thought it was necessary, task. The app I tried out is called Echo Prayer. You can type in your prayers and even add a description for each one. Then you simply flip through them as you pray. This is such a blessing since my memory is not quite what it used to be. Now if my mind starts wandering, and let's face it- it's going to happen, I just look at my phone and I'm back on track. Check it out! I hope you find it as useful as I do.
