Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 121-123; 2 Corinthians 1
Wednesday, August 24

Luke 6:10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch
forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

Rom. 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in
chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

Almighty Lord and Glorious Father:


In Christian mindfulness, keep me ever mindful how I am writing the
pages of eternity as I live today, and let me focus on that hope! Even when I pray
I am often plagued with disgraceful and distracting thoughts. Help me pierce
through them with the incomparable sword of your own Spirit!
How grateful I am to you, my Father, because the faith you give me
obliterates time, annihilates distance, and brings future things into my possession
now. Help me avoid the rut of sensation and sensual perception, and take the way
of faith by the path of the unseen and eternal. Make me see the invisible so I
can accomplish the impossible. By faith let me see Jesus, and may his presence
be so obviously realized by __________ and by __________ that they can
behold his glory with my life and be saved! I thank you for the thousand ways
grace sweetens, enriches and enlarges my life. So use my faith to reach others.
Give me, O Lord, that faith that not only flies to heaven, but also walks
with you right here. Give me the sensitivity to mourn when you are offended, and
weep when your cause is wounded.
Psa. 119:162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
May that which is written with ink in your word be written with grace on
my heart! I need to lament how often I live in the hut of doubt while you want
me in the mansion of faith. Immerse me in a sea of holy confidence in you. Draw
me near your Son so faith can be the control center of my life. Rid me of the
fickleness of feelings and fill me with precious faith for Jesus sake! Amen.

Mighty and Powerful Lord:


He did so. HELP ME NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE IN PREFERENCE TO WHAT
YOU COMMAND. If you ask me to stretch out my hand, then I do not need to
walk across the synagogue and sit down next to you. Good as that is, it is not
what you asked.
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house.
Lord I know many who see how the gospel tells them to trust in Jesus, but
instead they attend church. Or they join church. Or even give money to church,
but still do not trust Jesus! If you tell me to wash in the blood of Christ, I cannot
be baptized instead. If I want to do anything else other than what you say, I
have disobeyed you. Whether I feel, or do not feel, I will obey.
John 5:39-40 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they
are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Many people pray, or even read their Bible, but they put that in place of
simple faith and trust in Christ. It matters not how good my actions are, if they
are not what you commanded.
HELP ME NOT QUESTION YOU. If anyone could have contradicted you
about your command, this man could have. How can I stretch forth something
that is withered? You teach paradoxes and contradictions to the eye (if all I look
at is the letter). But when I get down to the innermost spirit of what is said, then
eternal truth and reality is found there. Help me obey the Masters Manual:
Eph. 5:14 Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,

Gracious Father:
Already I have been assaulted by the enemy! Already a breakout of my
corruptions. Already an attack from the world. Sometimes my foes seem to be
found in my own household. In my own neighborhood. At my own office. They
wound me deeply in my own home.
Before I get up from here I better put on my breastplate! I better take up
my shield. I am never safe unless I am protected from head to foot by your grace!
In a world like this, I do not know what might be around the corner. So,
Matt. 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
The battle rages on all sides, my Savior. I need protection,
2 Cor. 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on
the right hand and on the left,
And I need not only armor, but the type suited to my style of battle, and
adaptable to this kind of mission. Dress my soul for service! Clothe me to be
ready whatever may come. Do not let me be too dressed-up to do any work. It is
morning. Clothe me to do your bidding today.
Jer. 1:17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I
command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
There is work to do that angels envy me for being able to accomplish. The
directions are explicit about how I must march. Honestly means decently, walking
as in daylight. That is the most fitting outfit. Help me walk as one who has the
eye of God on me, because
Gen. 16:13 Thou God seest me:

Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 130-132; 2 Corinthians 4
Saturday, August 27

2 Cor. 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of
Christ;

Heb. 11:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is
faithful that promised;)

CROWN Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity.
Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed over the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife for those He came to save.
His glories now we sing, who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.
Crown Him the Lord of love, behold His hands and side,
Those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright.
Crown Him the Lord of lords, who over all doth reign,
Who once on earth, the incarnate Word, for ransomed sinners slain,
Now lives in realms of light, where saints with angels sing
Their songs before Him day and night, their God, Redeemer, King.

Matthew Bridges, 1852

1 Sam 12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in
ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:

Psa. 112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that
delighteth greatly in his commandments.

Lord and Master:


Today we pray for the leaders, teachers, and assistants who are helping our
students in our schools. I thank you in advance for the door that is opening on
this year. For the way being made for them to lift our children.

Great and Glorious Father:


You always deserve praise. I ought to give it, frequently forget it, and need
to be stirred-up to it. If there is anything praiseworthy in my life right now, you
must get all the glory for it, because I am your workmanship (Eph. 2:10).
What a week! The godly will be persecuted, but they will not be forsaken.
Mans curses cannot deprive me of Gods blessings. Old Balaams words are true!
Num. 23:20 [God] hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
I have days of darkness. There are times when I am sick and sorry. My
riches take wings and fly away. Even my righteousness is put under the
microscope. But rain does not last always. If my darkness is caused by
depression, the Holy Spirit can comfort me.
Psa. 112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the
LORD.
If I fear the Lord, I dont need to fear any person or circumstance. I need
not be alarmed at bad news. Even when I am undecided, I am not cowardly; I am
steadfast in soul. I may change my plans, but not my purpose of heart. Faith
makes me firm, so even if the worst happens, I can patiently wait on the Lord.
Experience makes me even more settled in this belief. My confidence is
confirmed by years. I can face any adversary with a holy awe and a brave face.
When the battle rages and the results seem doubtful, my trust in you is not
dismayed. What I receive from you, I delight to distribute to those who most
need it. My service is not spasmodic. My life is based on Bible principles, and my
actions flow from settled reserves of strength. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Amen.

Make this a good school year, where they can see students who struggle
become proficient; students who are hurting find strength in the knowledge they
gain, and the wisdom they acquire.
Give these workers in wisdom, these purveyors of life principles academic
insight, professional competency, and safety. Help us support them, and lift them
up before you this year as they strive to be the models of mature adulthood, and
the examples of integrity.
Father, we pray for our students, for their growth and development in
grace, and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray for every
homeschooled child as well, those like Simone Biles and Gabby Douglas, who
showed us just what a homeschooled kid can do.
We pray that you would protect us this year. Please Sir, keep us from
tragedy, accident, injury or disease. Let every student and teacher who starts this
school year finish it together in tandem with their classmates and peers.
And for this we will give you all the glory and thanks in Jesus name. Amen.

PRAYER DIARY

TIMEWORSHIP

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.
GIVE GOD THE FIRST PART OF EVERY DAY. The first commitment is
to a daily quiet time with God. Our weekly Prayer Diary provides a template for daily
devotions.
2)

TITHEWORK

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
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.
GIVE GOD THE FIRST DAY OF EVERY WEEK. You should fellowship
with a group of believers around the word of God every Sunday in our church.

QUALITY CHRISTIANITY INVOLVES THREE THINGS

Keeping Christ at the center (your core relationship of worship to God)


Keeping the body of Christ a priority (your congregational relationship of
walking with us)
Basing beliefs and actions on the mind of Christ (your church relationship in
the Word)

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
