## The Lists

The main area of this screen shows up to 3 lists of prayer types:

### Prayers to review...

The "Prayers to review..." list shows you all of the prayer types that need review today. If you have decided to review a particular prayer type (see Prayer Type Edit), then it will appear in this list. Once you have finished the review, that prayer type disappears from the list.
If there is a little warning symbol next to the prayer type, then you have passed the warning time for that prayer type.
To start reviewing a prayer type, just press on it in the list. That will open up the Prayer List in review mode.
Once all reviews are done, the whole list disappears.

### Prayers to pray...

The "Prayers to pray..." list shows you all of the prayer types that need pray today. This shows any prayer types that:

- Have a prayer prayed each day.
- Haven't been prayed for yet.
- Are not waiting for a review.

Once you have finished the praying, that prayer type disappears from the list.
If there is a little warning symbol next to the prayer type, then you have passed the warning time for that prayer type.
To start reviewing a prayer type, just press on it in the list. This will open the Prayer View, where you can pray each prayer.

### Focus Prayers...

These prayers are prayers that you are focusing on for the day. A prayer is marked as focused using the Prayer Details dialog button. To start praying the focus prayers, just press on the first prayer in that list, or press the "Focus Prayers" button on the toolbar. Pressing the Focus Prayers button cycles through the focus prayers. You can use the "Show Focus Prayer details" setting on the Settings page to control whether you see the details of the focus prayers, or just the number of focus prayers.

### Events

These lists show the events that are coming up for either today or tomorrow. Clicking on the event will take you to the Event View window.

### Contact Reminders

This list shows you the set of contact reminders for today. These are people to give encouragement to based on prayers, or a regular contact reminder. If you click on a person in this list, you will be taken to the Person Details screen for that person.

### All of my prayers...

This list shows all of the prayer types. Pressing on an item in the list opens the Prayer List showing all the prayers of that type.
