The first part of my binder is about praising God for who He is...enter in w/ thanksgiving! So, I have encouraging quotes, scriptures, song lyrics...so on and so forth.
Then I start praying for myself...you have to take care of you first, before you can pray for anyone else!! Repent...put your armor on...so on..praying what's on your heart..pray for your enemies...what is most important to you...to be the best mother and wife, all that I am that I can be..
Marriage
Finance
Children
Parents
pastor
on and on....these are your daily prayers!
Then your day of the week prayers...
Sunday-Israel-we are commanded to pray for Israel-the apple of God's eye-we will be blessed if we do!
Monday-Missionaries and persecuted Christians
Tuesday-Most Wanted Lost Souls..
Wednesday-my family...bro and sis...Aunts...so on
Thursdays: Prayer Requests...you can write them out and add to as they come in...check them off when healed and such...sometimes you have to keep praying about things over and over and how else can you remember?? There are many prayer needs and when we tell someone we will or am praying ...we need to do that! I'm forgetful and lazy! I need to do this!!
Friday-The Church, our church-ministries of church, backsliders, families of our church...widows, single mothers, marriages, elderly..truth to be accepted, those to be filled w/ the holy ghost and be baptized in Jesus name..Sunday school...children and their homes and families...those who need healing and deliverance
.
Saturday-Community-abortions, drug addicts- and neighbors, government and our nation
I feel we need to pray specifically. I want to pray efficiently. The more we practice, the better the experience. The more we do it; the more natural it will become too.
For each day I have stuff too...prayers to pray or how to pray specifically for each need.
Ultimately, I want to be a good prayer warrior! There are other things to pray about too...these are just examples
When you have prayed the best that you can...you finish off praying in the Holy Ghost...and intercede! The best way to intercede is praying in the Holy Ghost and sometimes this could take a little bit...how ever long it takes until you feel released...you need to be in touch w/ the Holy Spirit and be able to heed to the unction...He will direct you!!
Then, you start thanking and praising the Lord for what He IS doing...answering and hearing your prayers!! He did hear you and angels are going forth to each request right now...have faith and believe for what you prayed for!!!
Repeat. :) Prayer can not be just a one time deal or when we NEED something we go to prayer. We have to pray first!! We are to love the Lord our God w/ all our heart, soul, mind and spirit! We have to put him FIRST! We need to pray first thing too!! The Lord has dealt w/ me on this for YEARS! How much better would our days be if we got up early and ready and prayed up for our day if we prayed first! We would be armored up and ready to take on whatever comes our way! The Devil wouldn't be able to distract us as easily and knock us down!!
Through out the day we need to be quoting, speaking-there is power in our words!!, and meditating on scripture and praying in the holy ghost often through out the day! The Word says to pray w/out ceasing...doesn't literally mean we have to pray and talk to him all day....but we can fix our eyes on him and pray in our minds and praying in the holy ghost often...we can try to keep a right heart, mind and thoughts geared toward Him!
I want to be obedient! I want to be obedient to the Lord! I want to be pleasing to Him! I want my praise to be a sweet smelling to Him! I want the Lord to hear and answer my prayers!
I also know that I am human; made of dust! I still live in the flesh! I need to crucify my flesh! I get down, discouraged and depressed! I fight devils that I probably wouldn't have to if I would heed my own words spoken here! This is what the Lord is dealing w/ me on! I need to fast! I need to crucify the flesh! I need to die out to my flesh!! I want the Holy Spirit to rule over me, not my flesh!
The Lord will lay on your heart things to pray for or about and He will lay on your heart when and how to fast.
I know the time is getting late and serious. I want to be right. I know Jesus is coming back any day and any time!!! I do not want to be left behind!! My children, marriage and family are under my prayers!!! It's my job to pray and intercede for them!!! It's my job to build the walls around my family!
How much more stronger will be spiritually and be able to fight that stupid Devil if we are prayed up!! The Lord wants to take us to the next level!!
Also I want our children to be good and efficient prayer warriors for themselves and for others!
I want to go to the next level! I'm not going to die here in this pit! I need to ask myself often WWJD...would he do this, act this way, be feeling this...we will be able to control our feelings better too if we are prayed up! Our feelings are so deceiving!! When we aren't prayed up we start to figure things out on our own-leaning our own understanding...we are not supposed to do that. Proverbs 3:5-6 Love the Lord your God w/ all your heart and mind and lean not on your own understanding. That's when all this junk comes in...stress, worry, anxiety...these plagues!!
The Lord is still working in me! He still needs to deliver me of things and break strong holds in my mind!! I am a work in progress! But, I do love what scriptures says:
1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
1 Peter 5:10-10 But may[a] the God of all grace, who called us[b] to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
Ahh...that scripture settles me.
Anyways...I didn't mean to go in all that, but it was on my heart, so there ya have it!!
I am going to praying through my prayer journal via Microsoft Word. I can type much faster than I can write and for some reason I can come up with the words to say better and deeper than if I spoke them..writing is a release and a way to draw stuff out of me. I can look back and read it and think, "Wow, I said that!?" I felt like that? This is how we grow!
Anyways...this is what my prayer page will look like....I will just write in my prayers after praying the scriptures above...here it is below:
Praying to Jesus…
Lord your word says…philippians 4:4-9-I will rejoice in the lord always:
and again I say, rejoice. Will let my moderation be known unto all men. The lord
is at hand. I will Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving I will let my requests be made known you god. And
the peace of god, which passeth all understanding, shall keep my hearts and
minds through you Christ jesus.
I will think on these things: whatsoever things are true, honest,
just, pure, lovely, of a good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned,
and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the god of peace shall be with
me.
1 peter 5:7=to cast all my cares on you for you care for me!
Matthew 21:21-jesus you said, that if I have faith and do not doubt,
not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you I can say to
this mountain, “go, throw yourself into the sea,” and it will be done! If I believe,
I will receive whatever I ask for in prayer!
Proverbs 3:5-6 – I will trust in you lord with all my heart & soul
and I will not lean on my own understanding…
my prayers will start in here...
hope ya like it...if anyone reads this. :)
