Nicely written as usual Barb! I wanted to mention something I started doing when promising others I will pray for them.
I was concerned that I was doing lip service as well so I started this one habit just thought I would share
When I tell somebody that I will pray for them I have a note page on my phone or if I have a journal in front of me I will immediately make note of it, but while I am doing that, I am immediately offering a quick prayer whether it’s 15 seconds, 30 seconds, a minute, Right at that moment
Of course God hears and knows what’s going on at that moment, but it was my way to set a habit of taking the request for prayer seriously and doing it immediately
Then of course putting it down on the list to intercede when I do my normal intercessory prayers to take more time to lay that burden to the Lord!

Thanks, Joe! I agree with that. A short prayer immediately, followed by more during intercessory prayer.
