Chronological Bible Reading: Lamentations 4-5; Hebrews 13
Wednesday, November 11

Psa. 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and
glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Matt. 27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him
they compelled to bear his cross.

1 Chron. 29:14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer
so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

Lord of Grace and Glory:

You are bountiful by nature, so to give is your delight. Your gifts are
precious beyond measure, and grace means they are as a freely given as sunlight
to this planet. So grant salvation to __________ and to __________!
You give grace to the lost because you will it. You give grace to the
redeemed because of the covenant. You give grace to the called because of your
promise. You give grace to believers because they seek it. And you give grace to
sinners because they will die in an eternal hell without it!
Since you give grace abundantly, give it seasonally, and bring me into a
Thanksgiving holiday of harvest based on my witness. Give me comforting grace,
preserving grace, sanctifying grace, directing grace, instructing grace and assisting
grace. By your Holy Spirit you can pour this into my soul without ceasing.
Sickness may arise, but you give grace. Financial setback may come, but you
give grace. A grave may be faced, but you give grace. The tiny conjunction and in
this verse is a diamond rivet that fastens my present to the future, because grace
and glory always go together! They are married, and no man can put them
asunder. You will never deny me glory if you have bestowed on me grace.
Glory is just grace in full bloom. It is grace in a tuxedo. It is grace
exponentially squared and perfected. How soon I will gain glory I cannot tell.
Maybe before the month is out you will come, Lord Jesus!
I want to see the glory of heaven even now. I want the Spirit to give me the
glory of the Son for the sake of the Father, so more and more souls are added to
the body. O Eternal Purpose of God! Fulfill it in Jesus precious name. Amen.

Master and Mighty Partner:

I should rejoice to carry a cross your shoulders bore before mine. If you,
my Master said, I thirst, then I cannot expect to drink every day from bottled
spring water, or the pre-chilled water fountain.
No, my look at your cross prepares me for what I can endure for the sake
of Gods Eternal Purpose, out of love to the King and to redeem more subjects
for your kingdom. You were innocent, yet disrespected. No wonder then, that
every now and then I am irritated.
James 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing.
There is a gnawing disease that eats at my heart, but you took my sicknesses
(Matt. 8:17). Your cup was more bitter than mine. Help me gird myself to suffer
with you, without complaint. Why should I compound my sin by murmuring and
complaining? Let me resolve this Thanksgiving holiday of harvest to shun
no denials, but rather court them if they more conform me to your image.
The power to suffer for someone else, the capacity to be self-denying (even
to an extreme) in order to accomplish some great calling for God, this is a thing
to be sought after, and has to be gained before my mission is really done.
Appetite was the door to sin back in the Garden, so it is only right I should be
put to pain at the point of my wants and unfulfilled desires. My sinful tongue,
blistered by the fever of sin, would have burned forever had not your tongue
been tormented with thirst. Bring me a mind to be willing to suffer simply for the
sake of love to you, even if nothing else be accomplished. Amen.
FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY
Chronological Bible Reading: Ezekiel 4-6; James 2
Friday, November 13

Giver of All Gifts:

In knowledge of you stands eternal life. In service to you is perfect liberty.
Defend me today against all assaults of the enemy. As I trust in your defense, let
me not give way to fear, nor to any power of the adversary. Do it through the
merit and might of Jesus Christ and his finished work. You safely brought me to
the hump in this week. Defend me in the rest of it by the Spirits mighty power.

Lord, lead me not into temptation

Lord, deliver me and my family from danger and evil

Lord, order all my activities by your providence

Lord, mold my desires according to your will

Lord, grant today I will do what is right in your sight

Do it through Jesus Christ the Lord. Then Lord, I must remember others. I
must remember my pastor. I must remember those whom we have sent out. I
must remember the ministers, ministries and missionaries of our church! I must
ask for revival for them, even if I am ignorant of their exact circumstances.
I know how you deal with me, Lord. You are working in their lives the
same way. Give us all revival. Lead us alikethe family at home and the family
abroadin a similar experience and time of refreshing from you. I pray it for all
the churches we have as sisters, both here and abroad. Enlarge our coasts!
But Lord, it has to start with me. Rain down your Spirit in a new experience
of your presence. I look to you for life-direction this week. Lord, we need you!
Humbly we depend on you. We are confidently desperate for you. Answer us for
your Sons sake, because it is in his name I pray. Amen.

A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING

Chronological Bible Reading: Ezekiel 1-3; James 1
Thursday, November 12

Gen. 37:28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up
Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they
brought Joseph into Egypt.

A CHARGE to keep I have, a God to glorify,

A never-dying soul to save, and fit it for the sky.
To serve the present age, my calling to fulfill:
O may it all my powers engage to do my Masters will!
Arm me with jealous care, as in Thy sight to live;
And O, Thy servant, Lord, prepare a strict account to give!
Help me to watch and pray, and on Thyself rely,
Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall for ever die.
Charles Wesley, 1762

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 causes us to petition
without reservation for great things we would otherwise never ask. It also makes
us pray for little things many other people never seek. Give usand our
childrenthe confident dependence of a child. Do not let us or HarvestKids
believe somehow, great things are worthy of your attention, but mundane things
are not. No, because everything is 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 seem 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 for extraction. But it is still a great
pain to this little sufferers heart. Our eyes stand wide with tears of anguish. Let
us never believe any pain is too small a thing for you to care about. Thats what
fathers are made for, to look after the little concerns of their little 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 says you count the stars and call them all by name. So also bindup our broken-hearted and heal their wounds today. We will bring things great
and small to you, knowing you are worthy of as much confidence as we can ever
place in you. Thank you for showing us AND our children your heart. Amen.

Psa. 72:13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
O Lord My Mighty God:
Who would not trust a King so good that he pledges himself to the care of
the poor and needy? A childs cry touches your heart, and you are my heavenly
Father. If I can do no more than squeeze-out a liquid prayer in a tear, it brings me
to your attention. Let me place myself in even greater communion with you this
weekend. I can look to you, because you are looking after me.
Psa. 72:18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous
things.
Make me eager to look for the people you want me to reach, because then I
will watch you do wondrous things through me. The fox and the lion have joined
forces against me, but the Great Shepherd will defeat them and rescue the
defenseless. My soul is hunted by the temptations of Satanic deceptions. I
will run to your bosom for shelter and be safe in the arms of love.
Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the
kingdom.
So my fellowship in my church is not unimportant. The beginning may be
small, but the change you are making in me is astonishing! Let the saving power
of the name of Jesus make Harvest Baptist Church a rallying point. Let my lift up
his name together with others so it will be exalted and glorified.
You are this earths greatest blessing. If I want to bless others I have to
bless them in your name. Your name is glorious; make that glory fill the whole
earth. I await expectantly your return, because that future hope is what purifies
me now. My heart yearns daily for so great a future as I cry,
Rev. 22:20 Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

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.

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
firstfruits (first devotion, first dime and first day) to flow out to the rest of our
resources.

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.
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.
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.
Alan

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
