HINTS
Good day. Welcome to Day 2 of 10 Daily Prayers. I pray you got a great deal out of Day 1 and that you will get even more out of this day.
I wanted to share some hints with you before we begin, with the hopes it will help you to get a great deal out of 10 Daily Prayers. The first hint I want to share is if you read the prayers I have written out, please read them all the way through. I guarantee something will speak to you in the prayer. Then, turn it into a through, slow cooker prayer that applies to your life or someone else's. Or, maybe you know someone else the prayer I wrote is for someone else in your life. Pray that prayer on their behalf.
Another hint, if there was prayer from yesterday you want to pray again or continue, do so now or in the section of the 10 Daily Prayers in which each belongs. Also, no one ever said you have to move to the next day of prayer now. If you feel compelled to pray again from the previous day in its entirety, do so.
I will share more hints as we continue. I hope it helps you to get even more out of 10 Daily Prayers and Your own personal prayer life and prayer journaling.
10 Daily Prayers :
1 Self
Good morning, Lord. You are my One and Only. You are my Comforter and Strength. You are my Refuge and are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Thank You for yesterday and for this new day.
Lord, I must confess that I didn't pray yesterday as I could or should. Sigh. Pause. Please forgive me and help me to make today a better day. Teach me, Abba, how to pray and how to do so without ceasing.
Almighty God, I realize how much I need prayer (to be prayed for and to pray) and I realize the same can be said about everyone else. Help me to pray for everyone I can. Help me to pray faithfully and thoroughly the 10 Daily Prayers. This is the best way for me to pray. It gets me to pray for everyone I can, even if it is at least a quick popcorn pray, where I pray it really quick, and move on. Popcorn prayers are far better than none. But, help me to do more thorough, slow cooker prayer than popcorn prayer. Help not neglect anyone or anything in my prayers. To You be the glory.
Lord, I woke up fast and didn't slow myself long enough to pray to You first or read Your Word today. Forgive me. Now, please, help me to stop and turn all of myself to You now. Help me to let go of all thoughts, feelings, distractions,my to do list, the disturbing news and current events I read this morning when i should have turned to You first, etc. Help this be all about You, none about me. So, I will pray this verse and then the 9 Prayer Points over my life so I can let go and turn to praying about others.
Lord, You gave me this verse this morning to pray and it really moved me when I first read it and prayed it:
2 Peter 3:9 Living Bible (TLB)
9 He isn’t really being slow about his promised return, even though it sometimes seems that way. But he is waiting, for the good reason that he is not willing that any should perish, and he is giving more time for sinners to repent.
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.
Lord, I understand why You haven't returned yet. This sure helps.
And, I so understand what this means for me. I believe wholeheartedly, without hesitation or reservation in my Lord Jesus Christ. I have no idea how on earth I would be able to get through one day without Him. Life can be challenging at times. Knowing Jesus makes those challenges a great deal more bearable.
I understand and hear You, Lord. You want me to pray for the lost... Those unsaved and those who are not walking as closely to You and are not in Your Word or praying as they could or should (that could be said about all of us, me included this day, but know who I mean). The lost who never found you nor have lost their way and doubt You and or Your ways. The lost are those I should pray for most. They do know fully know You.
Lord, help me, and all of us, to know You more with each passing moment and day.
Lord, I pray this for my life, for the saved, and for the lost:
Philippians 1:9-11 New Living Translation (NLT)
9 I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. 10 For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. 11 May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.

2 House and Home
Lord, my home is a refuge. It is meant to be a House of Prayer above all else. I realize the Church is supposed to be a House of Prayer. However, in today's world, we have forgotten this. And, in the world today, there will be less and less churches if we keep failing to pray. Terrorism, a modern holocaust, greed, selfishness, and sin is making it where there are less going to a formal type of church. Therefore, each of our homes must at least live that command by Jesus that His house is a House of Prayer. He referred to the synagogue, which is the equivalent of the Church today, but our homes are miniature representations of that. If our homes are not first a House of Prayer, then we miss the mark. God has given us our homes for this reason. They are His and are to be used as His, not as ours.
Lord, help me to make my home a House of Prayer first and foremost. I will not nag my husband and make sure he does the same. (I know he does!) I also will not be hard on myself when I fail. But, I will make each day count in my home and pray 247365. I will make each moment count and make my first and foremost priority and concentration to prayer.
I will read Matthew 21:1-13 now.
I will then focus on this verse:
Matthew 21:13Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
13 And He said to them, “It is written, My house will be called a house of prayer. But you are making it a den of thieves!”
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB). Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2009 by Holman Bible Publishers, Nashville Tennessee. All rights reserved.
My home is not mine at all. You, Lord, allows me to live in it so I can then make the choice to live it in prayer or in other ways. Lord, how am I stealing from You in my home? What am I stealing from You? And, how is my home not a house of prayer?
I will now pray the 9 Prayer Points over my home as a whole, then everyone in it as a whole, then everyone individually, then everything as a whole, then for the plumbing, electricity, roof, foundation, and exterior then interior walls.

PRAYER HINTS AND TIPS: PRAYER FOR A NEW HOME
As you look for a new home, pray to find the House of Prayer, the House of God, not for you. Ask for His guidance.
Then, pray for Him to bless it and protect it every step along the way as you try to find it and rent it or purchase it.
Then, before you even move one item into your home... Before you cross the threshold, stop. Put your hands on the door and on the house and pray.
Lord, bless this home and everything and everyone in it. Help this house to be a House and Home of Prayer first and foremost in all we do. This home is Yours, Lord, not ours. We pray this in Jesus's name.
Then, have someone else walk in before you and pray over every room before you even step in your home.
Bring nothing into the home as you now go in with them and pray with them. (Ladies, don't even bring in your purse or bag.)
Dedicate your home first, without exception, to Him and prayer. Then, move in.
Make it the Lord's home first and make it always a House of Prayer in every moment.
3 Family and Friends
Lord, I pray this verse now over my family and friends, then I will pray it for the Daily Prayers 4-10. Now, for my family's friends collectively, myself included, I pray:
1 John 3:18 Living Bible (TLB)
18 Little children, let us stop just saying we love people; let us really love them, and show it by our actions.
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.
Saying I love someone is not enough. It is a start, sure. But, it is just that. If my actions do not show my love, then do I really really love them? Do my actions show I love them? Lord, teach me to show my family and friends love... collectively and individually.
God, I pray for my family and friends to live this verse. I pray that their love grows for those in their lives. I pray Your love grows in them and through them as well. Lord, help them to show Your love to those in their lives more and more. I pray this for my family and friends as a whole. I pray all of this for my family as a whole. I pray this for all of my friends. I pray this for the following individuals as well...
Now, I pray those 9 Prayer Points for them as a whole and then individually:

4 Block and Neighborhood
Lord, I realize every prayer I pray for someone else, I need to pray first in my own life. I do not want to judge them in any way and not look in the mirror first. Also, my prayers will be far more effective if I analyze and pray over my life first. I pray for self first so that my prayers will be more powerful and effective for them. They deserve nothing less from me.
I pray this over my life:
John 15:9-13 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
9 “I have loved you the same way the Father has loved me. So live in my love. 10 If you obey my commandments, you will live in my love. I have obeyed my Father’s commandments, and in that way I live in his love. 11 I have told you this so that you will be as joyful as I am, and your joy will be complete. 12 Love each other as I have loved you. This is what I’m commanding you to do. 13 The greatest love you can show is to give your life for your friends.
GOD’S WORD Translation (GW). Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations. Used by permission of Baker Publishing Group.
Verse 12 is the key verse and is my focus verse:
John 15:12 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
12 Love each other as I have loved you. This is what I’m commanding you to do.
Father... Gulp! This is a large expectation. I do not know how to love someone fully with my own love, let alone Yours. This seems intimidating to love another as You have loved me, for I cannot even begin to comprehend or grasp Your love for me. You have an unconditional love that is full and forgiving and it keeps no record of wrong. Your love doesn't have unreasonable expectations. You love fully, thoroughly, completely, knowing my warts and all, my weaknesses, my errors, my misunderstandings, the things I accidentally overlook, etc. You love me anyway. You love me because you enjoy me and like to commune and hang out with me. You love to talk with me. You hold me up when I am weak. You are not argumentative with me. You do not gossip about me or complain about me.
Oh, what we could learn from you. And, I can only imagine how our personal lives, homes, blocks, neighborhoods, churches, towns, cities, states, denominations, nations, the Church as a whole, and world as a whole would be different.

8 Nation
Psalm 2 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
2 Why are the nations in an uproar
And the peoples devising a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!”
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then He will speak to them in His anger
And terrify them in His fury, saying,
6 “But as for Me, I have installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
7 “I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance,
And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.
9 ‘You shall break them with a rod of iron,
You shall shatter them like earthenware.’”
10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment;
Take warning, O judges of the earth.
11 Worship the Lord with reverence
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
New American Standard Bible (NASB). Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation

9 The Church as a Whole and All Believers
This is my prayer for the a church as well...
Psalm 2 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
1 Why do the nations rebel
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand,
and the rulers conspire together
against the Lord and His Anointed One:
3 “Let us tear off their chains
and free ourselves from their restraints.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord ridicules them.
5 Then He speaks to them in His anger
and terrifies them in His wrath:
6 “I have consecrated My King
on Zion, My holy mountain.”
7 I will declare the Lord’s decree:
He said to Me, “You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.
8 Ask of Me,
and I will make the nations Your inheritance
and the ends of the earth Your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron;
You will shatter them like pottery.”
10 So now, kings, be wise;
receive instruction, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with reverential awe
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Pay homage to the Son or He will be angry
and you will perish in your rebellion,
for His anger may ignite at any moment.
All those who take refuge in Him are happy.

10 The World
Psalm 2 Expanded Bible (EXB)
2 Why ·are the nations so angry [do the nations rage/or conspire]?
Why ·are the people making useless plans [do the people plot in vain]?
2 The kings of the earth ·prepare to fight [L take their stand],
and their leaders ·make plans [plot] together
against the Lord
and his ·appointed one [anointed; Messiah; C the king, ultimately Jesus; Acts 4:25–28].
3 They say, “Let’s break ·the chains that hold us back [L their chains/bonds]
and throw off ·the ropes that tie us down [L their ropes/cords from us].”
4 But the one who sits in heaven [C God] laughs;
the Lord ·makes fun of [ridicules; derides] them.
5 Then the Lord ·warns them [L speaks to them in anger]
and frightens them with his ·anger [fury].
6 He says, “I have ·appointed [installed; set] my own king
over my holy mountain, Zion [C the location of the Temple in Jerusalem; 9:11; 48:2, 11; 50:2; 1 Kin. 8:1].”
7 Now I will ·tell [recount to] you what the Lord has ·declared [decreed]:
He said to me, “You are my son.
Today I have become your father [2 Sam. 7:14; Matt. 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22; Acts 13:32–33; Heb. 1:5].
8 ·If you ask me [L Ask of me], I will give you the nations as your inheritance;
all the ·people on [L ends of the] earth will be ·yours [L your possession].
9 You will rule over them with an iron ·rod [scepter; C a symbol of royal authority; Rev. 12:5; 19:15].
You will ·break [dash] them into pieces like pottery.”
10 ·So [Now], kings, be wise;
·rulers [L rulers/judges of the earth], ·learn this lesson [be warned].
11 ·Obey [Serve] the Lord with great fear.
·Be happy [Rejoice], ·but tremble [L with trembling].
12 ·Show that you are loyal to his [L Kiss the] son,
or ·you will be destroyed by his anger [L he will be angry and you will perish on the way],
because he can quickly become angry.
But ·happy [blessed] are those who ·trust him for protection [find refuge in him].

Day 1 of 10 Daily Prayers: A Prays 247365 Book of Prayer
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.
-- New King James Version (NKJV). Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.
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.

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).

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.

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.
-- New King James Version (NKJV). Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved.
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.

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).

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:

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.
