MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER
Chronological Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 4-6; Luke 12:31-59
Monday, April 18

Song of Solomon 8:6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm:
for love is strong as death;
Master and King:
Death is the destroyer of the human race, but your love is ever more
mighty! I feel like I have a barely-living love toward you, but your love for me
surpasses all power. I do love you, Lord. Maybe by your grace I could even die
for you if called upon. But I confess my current love can scarcely endure scoffing
and being made fun of, much less death. Surely it is your love for me that is
spoken of by Solomon. And your love for __________ and __________ who do
not yet know youfor you are a matchless lover of souls!
Your love indeed was stronger than the worst death, because it endured the
trial of the cross triumphantly. It was a lingering death, but love survived the
torture. It was a disgraceful death, but love despised the shame. It was an unjust
death, but your love bore my iniquities. It was a forsaken, lonely death from
which the Father hid his face, but your love endured the curse and accomplished
my salvation. Jesus, lover of my soul, shed abroad such love through me!
Never such love. Never such death. It was a desperate duel, but love
conquered. What then my heart? Why do I have no emotion when contemplating
such heavenly affection? Yes Lord, I long, I pant to feel your love and to share it.
Why should I be too depressed to love Jesus, who has a love as strong
as death for me? He deserves it and I desire it. The martyrs felt your love and
spread it, why not me? They mourned their weakness, yet were made strong, why
not me? Grace gave them unswerving consistency; there is the same grace for me!
For every drop of crimson blood thus shed to make me live,
O wherefore, wherefore have not I a thousand lives to give?
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING
Chronological Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 13-15; Luke 15
Thursday, April 21

Gen. 45:9-11 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son
Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not: and thou shalt
dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy
childrens children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: and there will I
nourish thee
Some glad morning when this life is oer Ill fly away
To a home on Gods celestial shore Ill fly away
When the shadows of this life have grown Ill fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown Ill fly away
Just a few more weary days and then Ill fly away
To a land where joys shall never end Ill fly away
Ill fly away (O glory)
Ill fly away (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
Ill fly away (fly away)
Albert E. Brumley

TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS LIFE

Chronological Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 7-9; Luke 13
Tuesday, April 19

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in
my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I
have said unto you.

WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 10-12; Luke 14
Wednesday, April 20

Rev. 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

My God and Father:

This age is especially the dispensation of your Spirit. I know Jesus is with
me, not by his personal presence (like he will be when he comes again), but by
the indwelling and constant abiding of his personal Paraclete, the Holy Spirit. I
know his office is to console Gods people, but Lord his job is also to convict of
sin. Let him illuminate the eyes as well as instruct the minds of __________ and
__________ toward the gospel today.
John 16:14 [The Holy Spirit] shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall
show it unto you.
The Spirit is my Helper; let me be his partner in binding the brokenhearted,
strengthening the weak, lifting up the bowed-down. I can do this by preaching
Jesus to them. Holy Spirit, reveal, because Christ is the revelation. Console, for
Christ is the consolation. Do your stated work of glorifying Jesus. Take not your
own things, but the things of Christ, and minister medicine to our miseries!
Holy Spirit, you are the Comforter and Jesus is the Comfort. I know you
will not neglect your sacred trust. Even so, make me diligent to follow your
leading and moving and filling, so others will be reached for Christ.
Whenever I decide to speak-up and witness, I have not taken a task I
cannot perform, because the power of Christ is there by his Spirit. Confessing
this fact, I confirm my trust in your name, Jesus! Give me fresh oil. Anoint me
to serve you this week. Make me your Ambassador to call all people to be
reconciled to God and come to the marriage supper of the Lamb. Amen.

Holy God, Holy Father:

Where I see much to deplore, your loving eye sees much to admire. In the
eagerness of my self-analysis, I often write bitter things against myself. But you
see even in those bitter self-condemnations a spiritual life of sincerity, which you
love. When you search my heart, you never bypass the lightest longing for you, or
the dimmest desire, or the faintest faith, or the least love.
It does not say, as many as you love you praise, but as many as you love you
rebuke. In that sense it is more important for me to uncover my faults, than for
me to dwell on my virtues, because if I would chasten myself, then I need not be
chastened by the Lord.
1 Cor. 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
Rev. 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
When love dies, then doctrine becomes a powerless corpse. Faith becomes
formalism. Spirituality becomes dead ceremony. Relationship becomes religious
ritual. Even my allegiance to the truth sours into prejudice and bigotry when the
sweetness and light of love to Christ leaves. Legalism breeds carnality, and
mere hatred of evil will turn into evil itself if the love of Jesus is not there to
sanctify it. This is the type of revival I need!
If I fail in love I fail in everything. My love for Christ, because it touches
the very heart of my communion with Christ, is the crown and original essence of
my spiritual life. Almost any disease can be endured except this disease of the
heart. No peril can be greater than this: lovelessness. If I lose love I lose all. The
greatest thing about our church is the opportunity to love! You loved me up, out
of the pit and into your heart. Now love me into service for you. Amen.

FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY

Chronological Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 16-18; Luke 16
Friday, April 22

SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS

Chronological Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 19-21; Luke 17
Saturday, April 23

Heb. 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Psa. 105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to
a thousand generations.

Gracious Lord and God:

We could have been driven from your presence forever, but in prayer we
stand before your throne. Make our thankfulness ascend in praisepraise that
were even able to thank you.
We prostrate ourselves in your presence. Even when we come to pray for
your own will to be done, and for the power to accomplish what you have already
ordained, we still come humbly, meekly and sincerely. We request the Spirits help
to be filled, and fulfill your Eternal Purpose (Eph. 3:10-11,21). This is a prayer
you want to answer, but an answer you wait to provide until prayed for.
Lam. 3:25-26,29 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that
seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the
LORD. He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
Let our pride bite the dust at the curb! Heaven obeys you cheerfully; hell
trembles at your will fearfully. When we come forth fulfilling the Eternal Purpose
of God, the Devil tries his utmost to deceive and distract, because he is already
defeated by its mission.
Job 25:5-6 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure
in his sight. How much less man, that is a worm?
You are the highest of all kings. You deserve most to be worshipped,
adored, and obeyed in our lives. We are on earth while you are in heaven. Help us
fulfill all your will down here, even as the shining beings you created fulfill it up
there. Make us bow as we should before your eternal majesty. Spirit of God, fill
us and help us worship the Father in our spirits today! Amen.

Glorious God and Father:

This is the basis for all your dealings with me. You made a covenant with
Abrahamfather of all those who have faithand you are faithful to that
covenant. Since you remember your promise, surely I should not forget how you
have kept it.
You threaten judgment down to the third and fourth generation of those
who hate you (Exod. 20:5), but your love goes on to a thousand generations. Your
promise is commanded, meaning it is vested with all the authority of law. It comes
from a King whose laws will be followed to the jot and tittle, even though heaven
and earth pass away (Matt. 5:18).
The blessings of Abrahams seed were not dependent on the number of
descendants, and the smallness of our church or the poverty of its members are
no barrier to your blessing if we seek it!
Psa. 105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
Your presence in Canaan does not desert me while I am in Egypt.
Prepare my way and prosper me until you lead me back into the land of promise.
Your plan is wise even when it includes famine.
Make me the advance-guard for others. I want to lead, and become a leader
of leaders. Your way is the right way. It may take me past the cross, but it is still
correct. The road to glory may run me by the rivers of grief. Make me ready.
Because all your afflicted ones will one day step out of their prisons and onto
their thrones. Send me on a mission for you. A mission to win more subjects for
your kingdom before the return of the King! Do it for Jesus sake. Amen.

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 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
