WELCOME TO 10 DAILY PRAYERS (AN INTRODUCTION)
Welcome to a new blog post series. It will be my main focus of this blog and is called,
10 Daily Prayers: A Prays 247365 Book of Prayer
After much prayer, reading of current events in the news and discussing them, pondering, reading of the Word, analyzing, rather viewing of my prayer journaling, and trial and error, I have decided that the last thing the world needs is another how to pray blog or book. Rather, what we sure could use are daily prayers, set-up in a format to remind us of everyone and everything we need to pray about, and help us to pray 247365.
And, the prayers need to be focused, but open, so we have room to pray our own prayers, but have guidance and a reminder of what to pray. Therefore, a prayer for each dimension in our lives, and a guidance for each, would be helpful.
I figured out there are 16 hours in a day most of us are awake. I also figured out how there are tend dimensions in our lives that need prayer.Therefore, if we pray 1.5 hours (on average) for each dimension, we pray for the most important aspects in our lives that the Bible tells us to look at and focus on in prayer--and we end up praying all night and day long.
I'm calling each of the dimensions, 10 Daily Prayers. Each of the 10 Daily Prayers have nine prayer points for us to touch on in the one and a half hours we pray each of the 10 Daily Prayers. Here are the 10 Daily Prayers:
10 Daily Prayers
1 Self
2 House
3 Family and Friends
4 Block and Neighborhood
5 City or Town
6 Your Church and Denomination
7 State
8 Nation
9 The Church as a Whole and All Believers
10 The World
And here are nine prayer points for each of the 10 daily prayers. In other words, we will pray the nine prayer points for each of the 10 daily prayers. The nine prayer points are:
9 Prayer Points for Each of the 10 Daily Prayers
A Worship
B Thanks
C His Will
D Ask: Needs and Wants
E News
F Confession
G Lead and Guide
H Deliver from Evil
I Thanks
Let me include a note right now as far as the couple of the daily prayers that include the block in which you live, neighborhood, town, or city. Make sure to pray for the people, businesses, houses, and churches in each.
Also, your house prayer is for your home and e everyone and everything in it and around it.
I will share prayers to pray for each of the 10 daily prayers, but they are just the starting place. They are not all you should pray. The prayers are just intended to help you get started. You have room to pray the specific prayers you are led to pray beyond that.
I will include a template of the 10 Daily Prayer Points and the 9 Prayer Points for Each of the 10 Daily Prayers so you can pray your own prayers at the end of this blog post. You can copy and paste them for your daily prayer journaling. This template gives you the most freedom to pray your own prayers.
However, I am also including prayers for each of the 10 Daily Prayers as well on this blog for now on. I will do this for 5 days a week. I will leave 2 days open for you to pray without ceasing for wherever God leads, as well as for your review. Read everything you prayer journaled the previous week. Then, make sure during your two off days you write down all of the answers to prayer and a list of important prayers you want to continue to pray for over the next week for each of the 10 Daily Prayers and 9 Prayer Points.
Now, let me explain.
AN EXPLANATION OF EACH OF THE 9 PRAYER POINTS
9 Prayer Points for Each of the 10 Daily Prayers
A Worship
Worship God for who He is.
B Thanks
Thank God for the blessings of the specific prayer point and for what He has done in it and for it.
C His Will
Pray His will be done.
D Ask: Needs and Wants
List all of the prayers and prayer requests for this Daily Prayer.
E News
What have you heard about in the news media that applies to this one of the 10 Daily Prayers.
Share any news you have about this prayer.
F Confession
Confess on their behalf for any wrongdoing.
G Lead and Guide
Ask God to lead and guide everything you have prayed regarding this one of the 10 Daily Prayers.
H Deliver from Evil
This is what you think. Ask God to keep them from temptation, to keep them from any and all evil, and deliver them from evil.
I Thanks
Thank God for hearing and answer everything you have prayed.
Of course, at any time, prayer journal if anything else comes to mind. Just make sure to pray all 10 Daily Prayers each day. This is merely a guide to help us learn to pray, and pray, without stopping. It's also meant to make sure us pray about all of the dimensions God wants us pray and not forget or neglect one.
I realize all of this can be a little overwhelming and intimidating. However, start off small and pray throughout your day and night, not all at once (unless you need to because life happens and got in the way of your prayers). Devote 5 minutes each day for the first week to each of the 10 Daily Prayers and the 9 Prayer Points for Each of the 10 Daily Prayers, for a total of 50 minutes stretched throughout your day.
Then, the following week, pray 10 minutes for each. Increase your prayer five minutes for each of the 10 Daily Prayers per week until you pray ninety minutes or so for each of the 10 Daily Prayers.
However, God may put something on your heart. Pray for that portion of the 10 Daily Prayers the most if it really weighs on you.
This 10 Daily Prayers and their 9 Prayer Points is just a guide. Nothing more. It's meant to be a reminder and bring inspiration. It's a guide to help us remember to pray for a great deal more each day that what we think of. It helps us slow down, look around, listen, and pray.
Another thing to remember is the prayers I include for each of the 10 Daily Prayers can be prayed for any of the 10 Daily Prayers and their 9 Prayer Points. If the prayer I have written for you to pray does nothing for you, find one that does from another daily prayer or day and/or pray your own prayer. Go where the Spirit leads, but make sure to pray all the 10 Daily Prayer dimensions each day, so we do not neglect anyone or so for prayer.
Welcome. Let's pray.
