I would imagine all of us have a list of people we pray for. I do.
When someone makes my list, and I'm sure yours as well, it is because they are worthy of prayer. But, some disappoint. When they disappoint should they be dropped from our own individual lists?
In my case I drop them. That's because prayer uses a precious commodity, my time and God's time. If a sinner is beyond redemption why not just drop them off the list?
This last Impeachment Trial was an example. There were Republican Senators and House members I had been praying for. Some had beaten Democrats in their initial campaign. Obviously they are in areas with competitive elections and need our prayers to win reelection. But, I removed immediately from my prayer list those Republicans who voted to impeach our President.
Once in a while we all hear about homers in our midst. They are dropped. It is an on going task to keep the list current but very important.

directs. And, then, I am ready with a long list for the McGill Street Ladies' Wednesday Afternoon Bible Study, Prayer Meeting and Tea & Social. The ladies of McGill Street are most grateful for this.
— and we are still praying for some that visited with us from long ago! And, having such a prayer list makes our prayer meeting and Bible study all the more meaningful, especially when we are enjoying lighter topics of discussion later on.
