What's on it

One page, ready to fill in.

  • A table with columns for date, for, request and answered
  • Undated, so you can print or duplicate it as often as you need

Who it's for

Christians keeping a prayer journal, small group leaders tracking requests, prayer teams, parents praying for children, and anyone who's promised to pray for someone and wants to remember. Pastors and church staff with many requests use it to keep track of who they've prayed with and when to follow up.

How to use it

Getting the most from a prayer list.

  1. Write requests as they come

    When someone asks for prayer, write it down that day. It's a simple way to keep your promise to pray.

  2. Be specific

    "Jo – job interview Thursday" helps you pray specifically and recognise the answer.

  3. Note answers with a date

    In the answered column, write the date and a few words. Reading back over answered prayers builds faith.

  4. Pray through the list daily

    Keep it in your Bible or planner and pray through it during your quiet time.

  5. Use it for a group

    Small groups and prayer teams can share a list and update it each week.

  6. Follow up with people

    When a prayer is answered or a situation changes, let the person know you've been praying. A short message can mean a lot.
