"Prayer Schedule"

I believe in the power of prayer. I believe that Jesus meant it when He told us to pray for others.
I also think that many believers don't take advantage of this resource, and don't fulfill this responsibility as thoroughly and as effectively as they could or should.
I want to be a person of prayer. I want to pray for others. There are many ways I can't help those I love or am concerned about. But I can pray.
So I had this idea: Every hour, and every half-hour, has a person, family, or ministry assigned to it. And at each hour and half-hour that I am able, I will stop and pray for whoever's 'hour' or 'half-hour' it is.
Some slots are still open. But I am not just rushing to fill them. When it seems the Lord is leading me toward a certain person or ministry, then I will add them.

This is my "prayer schedule":
