HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 9:00 & 10:45A.M.

MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER Chronological Bible Reading: Isaiah 49-51; 1Timothy 3 Monday, October 14 Prov. 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD. Guiding God and Directing Lord: In the tossing of a coin is decided by you and the outcome of a childs game, then how much more the events of an earthquake or tornado, and even of my entire life? Let me give this hope to those who are lost: Matt. 10:29-30 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Help me both remember this and counsel others with this. Let me use it to relieve my own anxiety attack today, because then I can better walk in patience and joy before others. I find that when I worry I cannot pray in faith. When I am troubled about the world I cannot serve my Master, because then my thoughts are serving myself. Help me Lord, to lead myself and others to Matt. 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. I am butting-in to Gods business and neglecting my own when I fret about my lot, my circumstances, or the umpires call in a game. It is mine to seek and obey, but not my job to provide. Manage my provision Lord, as I seek you today. I praise you for your heart of mercy, which can never prove unkind. I bless you for your unexplainable wisdom, which will never be at fault. Above all I look to Christ as my Intercessor before the throne of grace. You remember even sparrows, so I know you will not forget me or those I witness to in your name. Psa. 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. So I do today, as I pray for the salvation of _______ and _______. Amen. TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS MIRACLES Chronological Bible Reading: Isaiah 52-54; 1Timothy 4 Tuesday, October 15 John 5:8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. Merciful Master: How I love the way you work! First you give a command. Next, you help my heart turn the command into a prayer. Finally, you answer that prayer according to your promise. For example, you give the command: Ezek. 33:11 turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Then comes my prayer because of being commanded: Jer. 31:18 turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. Finally follows the answer to that prayer as you send your promised Son, Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. You command me to purge out the old leaven of sin. So I have to pray, Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Then comes the promise in your word: Isa. 1:25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, I am commanded to sing praises to God. Then I read the prayer I have to pray: Open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. Finally you give the divine promise, This peopleshall shew forth my praise. Make your miracles work in my life today! You command me to work, you set me to praying so I will be able to work, then you give me grace to work the command in fulfillment of your promise. I find the ability is inherent in the obeying of the command. Ability comes from obedience. Make me more believing and more obedient, so I can see all the miracles you want to work through me. Do it to honor Jesus today. Amen. FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY Chronological Bible Reading: Isaiah 61-63; 2Timothy 1 Friday, October 18 1 John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Merciful Lord and Heavenly Father: With angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify your glorious name, evermore praising you. Glory be to you, O Lord Most High. Help us lift your name this Fall before others. We do not presume to come to you trusting in our own righteousness, but in your manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table, but you are the same Lord whose characteristic is to always have mercy aplenty. Grant us therefore, to so fellowship with your Son that our sinful flesh will be mortified and our soul be made one with Christ, so we can dwell all day in him and he in us by your Spirit. As your humble servants we request you to accept our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Grant that, by the merits and death of your Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, others can receive redemption and forgiveness of sinseven through our witness this week and services this Sunday! We offer and present our bodies a living sacrifice to you Lord, as is our reasonable and holy service. We humbly ask that every one in our church who is a true partaker of Christs faith will be filled with your Spirit and be the recipient of your grace, sufficient to every task of this day. Although we are unworthy, though our sins are manifold, yet we plead in prayer for you to accept our ministry todaynot weighing our meritsbut pardoning our faults through Jesus Christ our Lord, by whom and through whom, and with whom in the unity of the Holy Ghost, we participate in your plan and mission for our lives. All honor and Glory be to Jesus today, for so we ask it in his name. Amen. WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING Chronological Bible Reading: Isaiah 55-57; 1Timothy 5 Wednesday, October 16 Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Almighty God and Merciful Father: I pray your grace will both precede and follow me. Make me continually given to good works, living in the world without becoming of it. Grant me grace to withstand the temptations that come through the world, the flesh and the Devil. Help me follow you with a pure heart, a sound mind and a holy body. Col. 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Without you I am not able to please you. Grant me your Holy Spirit today in all things, that he might rule and direct my heart. Lead me not into temptation. Keep me from anything that would hurt me or injure spiritual power, so I can be ready both in body and soul to cheerfully accomplish your will. Grant me peace along with my pardon, so I will be certain I am cleansed from all my sins, and can serve you with a quiet mind. Guard the people in my household in continual godliness. Let no one fall to Potiphars wife and her painted seductions. Keep us from sin Lord, so we can be free from all the adversities that come from unrighteousness. Make us purposely given to serve you as good soldiers, to the glory of Jesus name! You are my refuge; you are my strength. You are the author of my righteousness. Be ready to hear my prayers and let me be as ready to give them. Grant that those things that I ask for in faith I can readily obtain, so through your great grace I can be delivered from the bands of those sins that I commit so often in my weakness. Grant this request for personal revival for the sake of Jesus and his merit alone. Amen. SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS Chronological Bible Reading: Isaiah 64-66; 2Timothy 2 Saturday, October 19 Psa. 74:2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. Pure Father of Light: I thank you there are two questions that always require negative replies. Rom. 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. Psa. 77:7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? No! You are never weary of your people. Even when you are angry with me it is but for a moment, because your goal is my eternal good. But my grief asks strange questions, Lord. Often it also expects unreasonable answers. It is a wonder of your grace that you have not long ago cast me aside like an unwanted garment. Be patient in mercy, O Lord! I thank you that from before the worlds foundation I was chosen, and regarded as redeemed by the blood of the Lamb (Eph 1:4). Your ancient love will not die out, and your eternal purpose will not be frustrated. Can you abandon me? No! Forsake a blood-bought believer? Never! Lose my inheritance? Impossible! The woes of Calvary, and the covenant they seal are my security. Psa. 74:12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. I am astonished by your wonders of deliverance: the work of the cross, and the overthrow of sin, death and hell. You worked out my salvation in the past and do not cancel it now. Each past miracle of grace makes me trust you more. In all my trials I look to you for assistance. If you limit the sea, you can also restrain my enemies. If you hush the wind, you also control my circumstances. Being the God of nature, you are also the God of grace. I argue therefore, from the changing seasons of the year, that you do not mean sorrow to rule my life forever. Bring me fall harvest of hope and fruit of joy, in Jesus name. Amen.

A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING Chronological Bible Reading: Isaiah 58-60; 1Timothy 6 Thursday, October 17 1 Sam. 20:41 David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.

I MUST tell Jesus all of my trials; I cannot bear these burdens alone; In my distress He kindly will help me; He ever loves and cares for His own. I must tell Jesus all of my troubles; He is a kind, compassionate friend; If I but ask Him, He will deliver, make of my troubles quickly an end.
Tempted and tried, I need a great Savior; One Who can help my burdens to bear; I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus; He all my cares and sorrows will share. O how the world to evil allures me! O how my heart is tempted to sin! I must tell Jesus, and He will help me over the world the victory to win. I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! I cannot bear my burdens alone; I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! Jesus can help me, Jesus alone. Elisha A. Hoffman, 1893

We want the blessing of the firstfruits (first devotion, first dime and first day) to flow out to the rest of our resources. 3) TEAMWORD Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

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
