MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER
Chronological Bible Reading: Isaiah 61-63; 2 Timothy 1
Monday, October 19

TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS PRAYER LIFE

Chronological Bible Reading: Isaiah 64-66; 2 Timothy 2
Tuesday, October 20

Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask
or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Luke 6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray,
and continued all night in prayer to God.

Generous God Our Maker:

I am tempted sometimes to feel like I have asked for things too largethe soul
of a friend or loved one, the health of somebody sick, the reversal of a an injustice or
misfortune. Yet all my asking has been too short a stick to reach the bottom of your
ability. Your mercy is deeper yet! Make it so for __________.
At boldest and at best my prayers have too many boundaries. I often limit
myself by my own sense of need. I barely know what I want. I have to be taught
what to ask for or else I never ask correctly! My souls hunger is not keen enough yet
to see your face in all its beauty. Sin blunts the edge of my spiritual appetite; therefore
I cramp my own prayers. Thank you Lord, that you are not limited by my
limited sense of need. I ask for bread and water, but behold you fix a feast!
Is there a single promise of God any child of God perfectly understands? I
dont think so, because there is meaninga breadth and length and height and
depthI do not recognized yet. You condescend to use human language, and while
to me the words mean silver, to you the sense is gold. You never mean less than you
say, but you always mean more than I ask or even think. For this let me magnify your
name! Your power to bless is not bounded by my power to understand the
blessing. Yes!
My mountainous needs heap-up, end over end, to build a staircase like Jacobs
ladder. It is no tower of Babelno matter how great my needs are, they will never
top heaven. Your ability to bless is higher still. Lord, do exceedingly abundantly above for
me today and for our church. Give me faith to grip, and then to glorify you. Do this
because Jesus is worthy of the honor that comes from your answers! Amen.

Lord Jesus My Savior:

What will come to pass in these days? Will I seek the closet of prayer and avoid
a public display? I want to get blessings from God, so help me present my prayers
unspoiled by a desire for human approbation. I will get alone with you to move your
arm. If I fast I will not appear to fast to men. If I plead personally with you I will tell
no one about it. May it be a secret between you and my own soul, because then I can
claim the reward openly. Oh Lord, do not let me become a Pharisee who sounds his
trumpet in the streets.
Lord, I see how you acted so as to prevent interruption of your prayer. You
located yourself where you could pour-out your soul, and so you sought the
mountain. Sometimes no suite is suitable for my prayer. No room can house my
intercessions. I have to walk with you while I pray, and pray to you while I walk.
Nature becomes my temple when I am talking to you.
I dont have giant hills and long shadows as my companions, but I still have the
sweet ministries and movements of your Spirit and your word. No pomp of human
ceremony can equal that. Let the winds (or even the air vents) bear the burdens of
my sighs and tears on their willing wings today.
Samson moved the giant pillars in the temple of the Philistines god. He was a
dwarf compared to what I can be with you, because of what Jesus is for me! Jesus is
still on the mountain interceding as I pray. Let me bow my life to his will as I ask
your blessing. I seek you in the private place of my soul so I can sway your heart and
move your hand. Let me do it throughout the night of the church age as I wait for
the dawn of my full redemption. Amen.

A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING

Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 4-6; 2 Timothy 4
Thursday, October 22

FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY

Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 7-9; Titus 1
Friday, October 23

Gen. 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him
yet the more.
DOWN at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to His Name!
I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in; Glory to His Name!
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean; Glory to His Name!
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Saviors feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete; Glory to His Name!
Glory to His Name, glory to His Name:
There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to His Name!
Elisha A. Hoffman, 1878

1 John 3:21-22 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward
God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do
those things that are pleasing in his sight.
God Our Confidence and Guide:
Childlike faith makes us pray like nothing else can. It makes us petition
without reservation for great things we would otherwise never ask. It also makes
us pray for little things many other churches never ask for. Give us today the
confident dependence of a child. Do not let us believe that somehow great
things are worthy of your attention, but mundane things, small things, childlike
things are not. No, because everything is the small stuff to you! What we really
need is to have a constant communion over things both great and small.
What is very important to a child may be small to his parent. But how
many times does the parent graciously measure the request, not from his own
point of view, but from that of the child? So when we cry bitterly over a splinter,
we do not expect you to call in three surgeons to extract it. But it is still a great
pain to this little sufferers heart. Our eyes stand wide with tears of anguish. Let
us never believe or behave like any pain is too small for you to care about. Thats
what fathers are made for, to look after the tiny concerns of their small children.
That is exactly how you love us. Our heavenly father is a good Father.
Psa. 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that
fear him.
The Bible lets us know you count the stars and call them all by name. So
also bind-up our broken-hearted and heal their wounds today! We will bring great
things and little things to you, knowing you are worthy of as much confidence as
we can ever place in you. Thank you for showing us your heart. Amen.

WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 1-3; 2 Timothy 3
Wednesday, October 21

Isa. 56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a
name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut
off.
O Lord God My Creator:
Have a desire toward the work of your hands (Job 14:15). You made me and
fashioned me; do not let me be destroyed (Job 10:8). You are my Governor and my
King. The haters of your honor and of my soul surround me. To whom should I fly
for protection but you? Are you not my Father? Have you not called me one of your
children?
Why should I feel like someone cast out of your sight, or like someone who
belongs to the family of Satan? Do you not have the mercies of a father with tender
compassions for me? Not one of your poor, helpless and weak children can be
forgotten. You are my God in the covenant, and the God and Father of my Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom that covenant is confirmed. Under all these relationships I
plead with you for all necessary mercies for revival!
Enlighten me Lord, and pardon me. Sanctify my soul and bestow grace and
glory on me according to the word of your promise, on which you have caused me to
hope. Remember that your word is already fulfilled in heaven; it is recorded among
the articles of your decrees. It says I have to receive light and love, strength and
joyand you are not an unfaithful God. What if heaven and earth pass away? Yet
your covenant stands on two unmovable pillars: your promise and your oath. So now
I flee for refuge to lay-hold on the altar-horns of this hope; let me have strong
comfort from it. Remember the covenant made with your Son in eternity past, and
let the promised mercies of revival be bestowed on me according to my needs. This I
ask so Jesus might be glorified more and more. Amen.
SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS
Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 10-12; Titus 2
Saturday, October 24

Psa. 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy,
because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
Lead Me, O Lord:
Psa. 5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
Like a child is led by his father, or a blind man is helped by his friend.
Psa. 5:8 make thy way straight before my face.
Make THY way Lord, not MY way, straight. Help me learn to give up my own
way, and desire to walk in your way. Guide me into righteousness because of my
enemies, and teach me to beware of the wicked. There are many human anteaters
who, with their long tongues covered with sticky words, entice and entrap so many.
Lord, lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil because of them!
Joy is my privilege as a believer. Because I love you Lord, therefore I delight in
you. I feast every day when I feed on you. You give me music in the house, music in
the heart, and music yet for heaven. You are my strength and my song because you
have become my salvation.
Psa. 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my
bones are vexed.
I have sorrow, humiliation, and hatred of my sin. Let those be the three marks
of a contrite spirit before you. Do not withhold your rebuke, for then I lose a
blessing in disguise. I need the Spirits conviction, not to be condemned, but in order
to be sanctified. Sweeten your chastisements with the knowledge they are not
administered in anger but in love. I know my sins too well to think of my own
merit, or appeal to anything but your grace. And so I make my appeal this day.
Psa. 6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies sake.
For it is in Jesus name I make this plea. Amen.

Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and
departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

1 Cor 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God
hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
GIVE GOD THE FIRST DIME OF EVERY DOLLARno questions
asked. Ten percent is a miniscule amount in our affluent society, but it must come
off the top in order to show that God is our priority. We want the blessing of the

PRAYER DIARY DAILY ORDERS

!
# INTERCEDE WITH GOD # INSTRUCT SAINTS
# PROMPT PETITIONS # KICKSTART DEVOTION

!
INSTRUCTIONS:

!
Baptists tend to ridicule liturgical churches that use prepared prayers because
they lack spontaneity. But for many Baptists, their prayers are so predictable they are
no more spontaneous than written-out prayers. The result is we end up praying the
same things over and over.

TUESDAY
Proverbs & Prayer Lunch meeting at the North Campus, 1351 NW Jefferson
St (across the I-70 on the north outer road)

This daily Prayer Diary will prompt you on a wide range of requests you might
not normally think of, while forcing you to articulate a deeper devotion to God. We
have included a daily Bible reading schedule. This plan will take you through the
Bible chronologically in a year.

WEDNESDAY 7:00-8:15P.M.
AdultsMidweek Bible Study & Prayer Service in the sanctuary
AWANAApproved Workmen Are Not Ashamed! Our AWANA Bible club
for kids 2 yrs-Grade 6

Do not read ahead and do not try to catch up. Use each day as it comes. Then
you can know that on any given day, dozens of other people are lifting their hearts in
the same mind to God. Pray what is written, but use what is prayed as a springboard
for your own relationship with God. You learn to pray by praying.

THURSDAYS 7:00P.M.
Discipulado Ministerio Hispao Spanish Ministry Discipleship starts

Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;

with a group of believers around the word of God every Sunday in our church.

MINISTRY, SERVICE & FELLOWSHIP

QUALITY CHRISTIANITY INVOLVES THREE THINGS

walking with us)
"! Basing beliefs and actions on the mind of Christ (your church relationship in
the Word)

Secret prayer is the secret of prayer, the soul of prayer, the seal of prayer, the
strength of prayer. If you do not pray alone you do not pray at all. Our Lord Jesus
Christ would go nowhere till He had prayed. He would attempt nothing till He had
prayed.
Oh, says one, I live in the spirit of prayer, and therefore I do not need times
and seasons for prayer. And do you think that Christ did not live in the spirit of
prayer? Yet He had to have his special time and place to pray. Do not fall under the
injurious notion that because your spirit cries to God in prayer all day long, therefore
there must not be some season for more immediately coming into Gods presence. If
you imagine this, I am afraid that it will prove a snare to your feet. The Lord Jesus
Christ, who knew better than you do that the main thing is the spirit of prayer rather
than the act of prayer, yet Himself retired into desert places to maintain the act and
exercise of prayer. Be spiritual. Be baptized into the spirit of prayer. But do not be
deceived by the enemy, who can steal a spirit away while we dream that we only
spiritualize it. We had better preserve the very bones of prayerthe posture, the
time, placerather than let it all ooze away into an impalpable mental condition.
God keep us prayerful. He will do so if He makes us like His dear Son.
Charles H. Spurgeon, 1834-92

Dont make excuses; make a difference!
