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.
-- 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.

Lord, help everyone (list them by name) in my home remember this--how we choose today, and have in the past, to serve You. Help us to serve You alone, and nothing and no one else.

Prayer and Romans 12:12

I pray this verse to help me gain as much wisdom from the prayer verse of the day as possible:

Lord, help me to pray at all times, and to live the rest of the verse as well.
As I remember what you have done, and count my blessings for what You are doing, I am to pray at all times, always, without stopping. Lord, teach me how.
~*~
IT'S YOUR TURN
Prayer journal your thoughts and a prayer about this verse.

Welcome to a new blog

Welcome. This is a new blog about everything you ever wanted to know about prayer (including prayer journaling and what's the Bible says about prayer).

It's my goal to make this blog a collection of thoughts, journaling, daily devotionals about prayer and links to blogs, blog posts, and books about prayer.

Welcome to Prays 247365, where it is my/our goal to learn to pray morning, noon, and night and about all things.

A MONTH OF PRAYING THE WORD: Day 7

DAY 7

Over the next couple of days, we will dive into more why it is important to pray the Word of God and how to start to move from praying 15 to 30 minutes a day to without ceasing. But first, let's talk about the sacrifice of time. You might want to grab your planner/schedule before we get started. 

I realize you might wonder why I'm doing this explanation now and not earlier. Before now, I wanted you to get a feel for things and see where you were regarding how much time you had (or didn't have) to commit to praying without ceasing. I also wanted you to step into this slowly and do what you felt most comfortable with. 

PRAYING WITHOUT STOPPING (CEASING)

To pray without ceasing is to pray continually.

Take a look at 1 Thessalonians 5:17 in your Bible. 

~*~ Write in your journal a summary of that verse.

Now that we have that covered, and know we are to pray all the time, how do we do that? Is it feasible?

It is. But, before we delve too much into this, I hope you might humor me for a moment.

THE SACRIFICE OF TIME

~*~ Please grab your journal at this time. Can you average the amount of time you put into each day: the homework and praying without ceasing?

Day 1

Homework time (SPT--see what this is below)

Praying without ceasing time (OPT--see what this is below)

Day 2

Homework time

Praying without ceasing time

Day 3

Homework time

Praying without ceasing time

Day 4

Homework time

Praying without ceasing time

Day 5

Homework time

Praying without ceasing time

Day 6

Homework time

Praying without ceasing time

~*~ Now, figure the average amount of time for all 6 days:

Homework time (SPT)

Praying without ceasing time (OPT)

GOAL

Our goal is to move from praying ??? hours a day (you fill in your average time daily of praying without ceasing where the question marks are) to praying 24/7/365.

Well, there are two types of time we will need to make sure to mark on our planners every day at the end of the day:

A Sit-Down Prayer Time (SPT)

B Praying while doing other things or (OPT)

The goal is to get the total of SPT + OPT to = 16+ hours 

Why is it 16+ hours? We are to sleep 8 hours a day. 24 - 8 =16. Now, part of that time includes falling asleep, waking up, rolling over, and being restless. During those times, we can be praying the Word without ceasing. 

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO PRAY 16+ HOURS A DAY?

How is this possible? And, is it possible?

The last time I checked, God didn't give us commands that we could not meet. He would not ask it of us--knowing it was impossible. He would help us to do so. However, we also have to work intentionally in that direction. So, how do we go about doing precisely that? 

Take your average time of SPT and mark that on your planner for the rest of the week. 

Then, for next week, add 10 or 15 minutes a day. (For instance, week 1, you might average 15 minutes a day. Add 15 minutes and your new average will be 30 minutes. And so on...) Do the same week after week until you have 1 to 2 hours a day (ideal = 2 hours; absolute least is 30 minutes) on your schedule alone for SPT. 

Next, it's time to start to add praying without stopping (OPT), and Praying the Word, to every activity you do. We can Pray the Word while we talk with others, while we are on hold, as we drive, etc. 

How do you add Praying the Word while you do other things:

A Come up with cues to remind yourself to pray. For instance: red lights, every time you drink or eat, shower, restroom, breaks, while on hold, standing in a line, while cleaning house, doing laundry, doing the dishes, while cooking, etc. Whenever I see my wedding band, I pray. Whenever I see a glass or mug, I pray. When I see a book, I pray. Walking through doorways, I pray. Start with the every time you drink and take a bite of food cue. That will add more time than you might realize. Just make sure to keep an idea of the amount of time you pray.

B Play a game with yourself and try to top your previous day's amount of time for OPT and SPT. 

C While exercising... We are supposed to get 30 minutes a day of exercise. Hence, what a perfect time to pray the Word and without stopping at the same time. 

D Add 10 or 15 minutes per day every week until you get up to 16+ hours. (For instance, week 1, you might average 15 minutes a day. Add 15 minutes and your new average will be 30 minutes. And so on until you are up to 16+ hours.) 

E Keep doing it until it becomes a habit. Practice will help. 

PLANNER

Make sure to mark everything on your planner now. Put it on there. Put your SPT and OPT goals every day for the next 14 months or so. Then, in six months, take it out another 14 months. Keep putting it on your schedule for the rest of your life. Literally. I love the Google Calendar. I put this in for indefinitely and am now set. 

ISN'T THIS ANAL?

Yes. It is. How else do you think you will actually obey the Word of God and pray continually? If you don't track it and plan it, you won't do it. It should be more important than everything else on your schedule anyway. Wouldn't you agree? 

How do you expect to pray without stopping unless you make an action plan and get it on your calendar? 

DAY 3 FROM THE OUTLINE

Do Day 3 from the outline of Praying the Word for the next 24 hours, please. Make sure to journal and lsiten to the Lord and his promptings.
