Isa. 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy
Isa. 36:5 I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength
for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy
hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
rags;
Luke 6:47-48 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I
will shew you to whom he is like: he is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and
laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that
house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Lam. 3:41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
Father God:
The act of prayer teaches us humilitya good lesson for proud people!
Rev. 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of
nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor,
If you gave us answers without our asking, we would never recognize how
desperately dependent we are on you. True prayer is an inventory of how
much we need you, a catalog of crises, a revelation of our true poverty, and
Matt. 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Lord, this is our application for a stimulus grant of divine wealth, and
also our confession of human emptiness. The healthiest state we can be in as
a church is to be always empty of self, and constantly depending on your
Spirit. Lord, make it so! Make it so! Make it so!
Make us mighty through God to do great exploits in fulfilling your Eternal
Purpose. We will constantly use prayer, because while it adores you as creator, it
also lays us as creatures in the dust where we belong. Grant us blessing through
the daily exercise of prayer. Increase our faith as we connect to you in spirit.
Make us mount up with wings as eagles as we wait upon you (Isa. 40:31).
James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Our prayer is the uplifted hands of Moses on the hill. It routs the
Amalekites even more than the valiant sword of Joshua in the valley. Teach us to
pray, because that is what clothes our weakness with divine strength, turns our
human folly into heavenly wisdom, and gives your anxious and depressed people
the peace and joy of God. Thank you Lord, for this mercy seat, a precious proof
of your faithful lovingkindness. Help us use it rightly today. Amen.
Psa. 101:2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto
me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
Dear Lord and Righteous Father:
The best praise is purity, and the best music is holiness. If I really want to
worship you I will walk in your word and in the Spirit today. I need revival!
This was Davids deliberate choice. Make it mine. Influenced by the grace
of God, let me choose wisdom as the principal thing, and count the fear of the
Lord as my best protection.
Others can run after gain and fame. Whatever happens to me today this is
my desire: I want to behave myself wisely. But to behave wisely, I have to be holy.
Give me the manliness or womanhood (let alone godliness) to do the right
thing in every thing today. It will be the turning point in my career, my home, my
relationships, my difficulties. It will save me from a thousand future shame-filled
sorrows and regrets for every present pain it does not immediately eliminate.
I do not need to be a philosopher to know right from wrong. The way to
act in every instance is,
Eccl. 12:13 Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
For most people, their conscience is elastic. But the law of the Lord is
consistent and standard. I will always lose less by doing right than I ever
would by doing wrong.
I will behavefor I am determinedbut often I like the power. I want to
behave wisely, but you know my dependence is on your Holy Spirit for personal
holiness. Come unto me for I need more grace! I need more help than I find in
myself. Mercy, Lord! I call on you to be my helper for holiness. Do it for Jesus
sake and honor. Amen.

resources.

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 prayer 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
