Telephone prayers

I'll bet you have played "telephone" as a child or even with your children and/or grandchildren. You know how it goes, you tell a story to the first child in the circle and by the time it gets around the circle the story has changed-usually in a funny way.
Telephone prayers are different than the telephone game. They are a way of using modern technology to pray. How often have you had a phone call from someone with a need? You naturally say, "I'll pray for you." Often, though, you go on with the conversation rathr than actually taking time to stop and pray. What difference might it make if you took that moment to bring God into the conversation?

A step beyond praying with your friend immediately is asking if you can share their concern with other trusted prayer partners, perhaps via a phone tree or prayer list. So you see there are holy uses for your phone conversations.
