WELCOME
Lord, help us to listen far more than we speak, as we pray and as we do this thing called life. Help us to continually think, live, and pray this verse:
John 3:30 Expanded Bible (EXB)
30 He must ·become greater [increase], and I must ·become less important [decrease].
-- Expanded Bible (EXB). The Expanded Bible, Copyright © 2011 Thomas Nelson Inc. All rights reserved.
You and Your Word alone matter. Help us remember this with every breath.
Well, this is it. Teach us to pray, Lord. Teach us how to pray and what to pray, and even when, God.
EACH DAY HAS SEVERAL PAGES OF PRAYERS
Each day has several pages of prayers. It might be intimidating. I know it was for me as I thought about writing the prayers, as I wrote them, and as I read them later. However, when we put it into proper context of how we are to pray all the time according to the Bible, and the Word of God, then, we could use several more pages so we can do precisely that and pray 247365. The intent is to help us pray for everyone and everything--all the time.
Just think. If you were to use the 10 Daily Prayers how much this would revolutionize your prayer life, and those around you. And, it made gut even start a prayer revival in this country and in the world.
Each day is meant to be a guide. Prayerfully read through all of the material and then do the suggestions as follows in this blog post.
INSTRUCTIONS
How do you do, and use, the 10 Daily Prayers if you work or raise a family? Or, if you are busy? Or, how about just in general?
The answer to this is, frankly, trial and error, and then change. Experiment and see what works. Then, once you find something that works, keep doing it until it stops working as well, then change things up. Continually seek to make the 10 Daily Prayers work to their maximum in your life.
Ideally, you will carry each day with you as you go and refer to it at every opportunity. However, you don't want to get fired from your job. So, I recommend the same as I just said, with a couple of ideas as well.
-- Print off, or copy, the template at the end of the Welcome blog post, the list of the 10 Daily Prayers and their corresponding 9 Prayer Points. Carry this around with you in your back pocket or on your cell phone. Never stop carrying it around. It is a reminder to pray and what to pray each day.
-- Read and pray through all the day's prayers first thing in the morning.
-- Pray your own prayers, and prayers you remember from your reading, in-between the readings, even as you work and converse with others.
-- Do it again on every break and at lunch.
-- Pray your own prayers, and prayers you remember from your reading, in-between the readings, even as you work and converse with others.
-- Do it again when you get home. If you know you will get sidetracked when you walk in your home read them in your car when you park. Or, read them before you go inside to pick up your kids.
-- Pray your own prayers, and prayers you remember from your reading, in-between the readings, even as you work and converse with others.
-- Read and pray them again in the middle of your evening.
-- Pray your own prayers, and prayers you remember from your reading, in-between the readings, even as you work and converse with others.
-- Do it again when you go to bed.
-- Pray your own prayers, and prayers you remember from your reading, in-between the readings, as you roll over in bed.
The 10 Daily Prayers are meant to be timeless, where you can keep reading them again and again and still get a great deal out of them in the years and decades to come.
EXPLANATIONS
Each day, five days a week, I will include a prayer for each of the 10 Daily Prayers. I will also include a Bible verse. Sometimes, I will use the same verse in multiple prayers throughout the 10 Daily Prayers, but in different versions or translations. After all, each version or translation brings out something new and a different aspect to think on and pray about. Pray each verse and think on it, bit you may want to add to the prayer material; therefore, feel free to look up your own verses as well, or look at another day's verses if you would prefer.
Some days and with some prayers, I may go a little crazy with adding several verses to pray. Today, under the first dimension and first of the daily prayers is proof of that. However, I think they are important verses to pray each day, if not every two to three days at least in my own life. I know I sure can, and do, use them in my life, that is for sure.
PRAYER JOURNALING
I call prayer journaling any journaling I do in which I have God as my intended audience. My prayer journaling is when I write my thoughts, experiences, musings, ideas, frustrations, ponderings about His Word, my prayers, and just about everything else I can put on the page. It is how include God in on my life, and is how I listen to Him. It is my record of who He is and what He has done. It is how I remember. I will would forget most everything otherwise. It is how I interact with His Word and my Bible studies and daily devotionals.
But mostly, my prayer journaling is one concrete way I Pray 247365... 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
I cannot recommend it enough. It will help you in your prayer journey as you embark on this special journey of 10 Daily Prayers and Prays 247365.
PERSONAL PRONOUNS
I am going to use the personal pronouns of I and me and the possessives of my and mine in these prayers. It is to make them personal to me as I pray and personal for you as well. Make the I, me, my, and mine you as you pray them. Make these prayers your prayers.
Shall we pray?
AN OPENING PRAYER
Lord, teach me to pray and help me to learn how to pray all day and night long. I want to bring You glory and honor and praise--and I want to know You and Your Word more.
10 Daily Prayers
1 Self
Luke 11:1-10 New Living Translation (NLT)
11 Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As he finished, one of his disciples came to him and said, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 Jesus said, “This is how you should pray:
“Father, may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
3 Give us each day the food we need,
4 and forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
And don’t let us yield to temptation.”
5 Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him, 6 ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’ 7 And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’ 8 But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence.
9 “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

Lord, I am not sure what to say beyond this. I will read this and pray over it several times as I use the next ninety minutes to pray about my life and where I am, and how I am, today.
Psalm 19:14 Expanded Bible (EXB)
14 ·I hope my ·words [The words of my mouth] and ·thoughts [meditations of my heart] ·please [be before] you.
Lord, you are my Rock, ·the one who saves me [and my redeemer].
-- Expanded Bible (EXB). The Expanded Bible, Copyright © 2011 Thomas Nelson Inc. All rights reserved.
Amen! I know how, unfortunately, more often than not my thoughts and words are not what they should be. I have the wrong priorities at times, even though I know what the right ones are. I tend to be too busy at times and get sidetracked as well. Lord, help me to focus on You and Your Word alone. Help me to pray 247365. Help me to pray the things You want me to, and help me not to miss your guidance is this area. I just want to please You and want my prayers to count and make a difference.
James 1:5 New King James Version (NKJV)
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Lord, the truth of the matter is I do not know how to pray powerful, mountain moving prayers that make a difference, never mind how to pray 247365. Help me to do so. I need Your wisdom in this area. Please give it to me as You promise me in Your Word.
There are so many current events in the USA and in the world that must be bathed in prayer as our country seeks idols and anything and any one that isn't You of of Your will--the Church and Christians included. Help me know what to pray. Give me the wisdom on how and what to pray prayers that change me, the USA, the Church, and the world.
Help me to pray Your will alone, not my biased opinions.
Help me to pray only the prayers You want me to pray, Lord. Give me wisdom.
Philippians 4:6-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
6 Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise—dwell on these things.
-- Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB). Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2009 by Holman Bible Publishers, Nashville Tennessee. All rights reserved.
Oh, Lord, how I have missed the mark. I have not offered You prayer AND thanksgiving both in my prayers today and up to this point. Forgive me. I also haven't focused on Philippians 4:8 and focused on those things. How do I do both given all of the news and current events, let alone in my personal life? Give me wisdom to know how, Lord (James 1:5).
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 Living Bible (TLB)
17 Always keep on praying. 18 No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

How often and how much should I pray, Lord? Always, without fail, You tell me. How should I pray? With thanksgiving.
Please, teach me how.
Romans 8:25-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
-- New American Standard Bible (NASB). Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation.
Lord, my heart and mind is full of so much... so busy... and are a mess. Never mind how I am not sure how to pray for any of it, or what to pray. Holy Spirit, please give me the Words and speak on my behalf.
Psalm 121:1-2 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
A song of ascents.
1 I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

Current events and personal life circumstances are rather heavy for me right now. Life is packed with noise, chaos,and busyness in my life and all around. Still me, my emotions, my thoughts, to You alone, my Help. Help me turn my eyes only to You, my Maker.
Now, I will pray each of the 9 Prayer Points over myself and my life.
Then, I will slowly, deliberately pray over each of the previous verses again.

Welcome to 10 Daily Prayers (An Introduction)
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

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:

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.

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.

001 Prays 247365 and a Romans 8 Blog Post Series
THE FOCUS OF PRAYS 247365 BLOG
Prays 247365 is a blog about prayer. It's about everything you ever wanted to know about prayer.
It's a teaching and coaching blog about prayer.
It's a community and group of intercessors and prayer warriors who, well, pray. It's about people who make the commitment to want to learn to pray, and actually pray, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year long (247365). So, please, add comments to the end of any blog post and let's stand together in prayer. Let's ask questions, encourage one another, add prayer requests, and pray through this blog. Share your prayer focuses with us and what God has put on your heart to pray in a comment you add at the end of any blog post.
PRAYING THE WORD OF GOD
The most powerful and effective prayers we can ever pray are when we pray the Word back to God and we ponder the verses and prayer journal about them. Moreover, it's the easiest prayer to do because we don't have to come up with the words. God already gave them to us in His Word. And, it's the very type of prayer we do not do and neglect. (I cannot help but shake my head and wonder why as I look in the mirror and think of other believers I talk with about prayer. I will discuss this more in the upcoming blog posts.)
Therefore, as we pray, and learn more about prayer and share about prayer, I will make it a point to do a blog post series on different chapters of the Bible and focus on prayer regarding that chapter and how it applies to current events and our lives today as we pray.
Our first blog post series, and praying the Word, is on Romans 8.
PRAYS 247365 AND ROMANS 8 BLOG POST SERIES
We will pray Romans 8 so much in this blog post series we will memorize it without even trying. After all, we will read it and pray it back to God all day and night long, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as long as this blog post series lasts.
We will focus on what we can learn about prayer through Romans 8 and how to apply it to our lives (including our prayer lives) today.
THE GOAL OF THIS BLOG POST SERIES
1 To teach and coach about prayer
2 To focus on Romans 8
3 To focus on prayer, Romans 8, world events, and how all three of those things can be used or combined together
4 For me to take part in Camp NaNoWriMo in July 2015 and I will write this blog post series during the month (to write a minimum of 50,000 words in 30 days in 100 blog posts that average 500 words each).
Shall we begin?
Let's pray.
PRAYER
Lord, thank You for being You and for all You do. You are my One and Only. There is no one and nothing like You. You are the King of kings, Lord of lords, the Beginning, the Last, the Great I AM, Savior, Friend, Judge, Teacher, Comforter, Creator, and Almighty.
Lord, teach me to pray. And, not only that, but how to pray 247365 and what to pray during that time.
Help Romans 8 teach me how to live, how to pray, and more about Your Word. Help me hear You clearly and to respond accordingly. In the name of Jesus, help me to understand fully what I read.
WORD OF THE DAY
Read Romans 8 in your favorite version of the Bible.

Praying the Word of God, the Bible and Romans 8:1-4
If you do not know what to pray, or how to do it and or Prayer journaling, the best place to start is with praying the Word of God, the Scripture, the Holy Bible.
If you know what to pray, I still recommend the same.
Praying the Word is the best prayer and is the most powerful and effective we can pray. Period. Hands down.
Now, unless you at struggling with something, or if something specific has been placed on your heart, I recommend using a read the Bible in a year program and start there. In each chapter of the Bible, find three verses at least to focus on as you pray and prayer journal. Then, read them aloud if you can, one by one, as you pray it back to God. Then, listen and pay attention to the stirring of your thoughts and emotions--and what God is saying. Prayer journal about that.
Throughout your day and night, re-read those verses and pray them back to God so much that you memorize them.
Do this with your daily Bible reading. Turn it into prayer time as you read His Word.
Continue with your own personal Bible reading and praying the Word time as you read this blog and do what this blog says, do your Sunday school and small group lessons as well, along with any other Bible study. Do praying the Word with all of that.
And, add this. For this blog, we are going to memorize Romans 8 through prayer journaling and praying the Word of God.
For the next week, let's focus on praying the Word so much, the following four verses, that we end up memorizing them without even realizing it. Carry the verses with you everywhere you go. I guarantee you have several blank spots throughout your day you can use to read and pray the Word.
For instance, as you wait for your car to warm up for a second before you go. This will actually help your car last longer.
Or, what about while waiting on hold on the phone or while waiting for an appointment? While standing in a line, while brushing your teeth, while eating, while on break, before you get of out bed, before you go to sleep, if you cannot sleep in the middle of the night, while cooking, etc.
Here is the first round of verses to pray:
VERSES TO PRAY, PONDER, AND MEMORIZE
Romans 8:1-4 Living Bible (TLB)
8 So there is now no condemnation awaiting those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 For the power of the life-giving Spirit—and this power is mine through Christ Jesus—has freed me from the vicious circle of sin and death. 3 We aren’t saved from sin’s grasp by knowing the commandments of God because we can’t and don’t keep them, but God put into effect a different plan to save us. He sent his own Son in a human body like ours—except that ours are sinful—and destroyed sin’s control over us by giving himself as a sacrifice for our sins. 4 So now we can obey God’s laws if we follow after the Holy Spirit and no longer obey the old evil nature within us.

Every now and then, I will share a news article that is a prayer point. This is one such article.
I thought you might be interested in this article:
Title: "New low: ISIS reportedly gives away sex slaves as 'prizes' in Koran contest"
ISIS has already committed countless unspeakable acts on Yazidi and Christian girls and women in Iraq, but the terrorist army may have reached a new low with a twisted new contest in which female slaves captured in war are given away as "prizes" to fighters who show the have mastered the Koran.

Prayer and Romans 8:26
Do you know what to pray? How about how to begin?
Do you know how to pray?
I have been a prayer warrior for over twenty-one years and I have to admit, most of the time, I am rather clueless how to pray, what to pray, etc. So, there have been times I have chosen not to pray because I was too intimidated.
Or, I have another problem: Too much to pray. Where to begin?
This verse covers every facet of prayer:
~*~
Romans 8:26 Living Bible (TLB)
26 And in the same way—by our faith—the Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don’t even know what we should pray for nor how to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words.
-- Living Bible (TLB). The Living Bible copyright © 1971 by Tyndale House Foundation. Used by permission of Tyndale House Publishers Inc., Carol Stream, Illinois 60188. All rights reserved.
~*~
Read this verse, pray it, prayer journal it and about it, then stop thinking, and pray. It really is that simple.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say you have to be the perfect pray-er for God to hear your prayers.
Nor does the Bible say they have to be perfect, eloquent, fancy prayers.
Just pray. And don't stop. It's really that easy.
