so many prayers

Can I get personal for a minute? You don't mind, right?? Do you ever feel like you have so many prayer requests that you can't keep them straight? It seems that as the weeks and months and years go by my prayer list gets longer and longer. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. I guess it's a good thing that I'm praying so much. But just when one item is checked off the list another one is quick to fill it's space. And then there's those things that are *always* on the list and never seem to go away. This is what I've been praying about a *lot* lately. I honestly can't even imagine a society where this would pass. It's not one I want to live in. But besides that there are so many people (including myself) that I pray for on a daily basis. As I sat in church today I had to say to God "ya know what, I'm sorry but I just can't remember everyone I'm supposed to pray for". Thankfully it doesn't matter, because He knows. He knows my innermost thoughts, wishes, dreams and fears. And He's there for all those who need Him. That's comforting, don't ya think? I know I find comfort in that. Even if it doesn't seem like He's answering my prayers. He's there.
