HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 8:00, 9:00 & 11:00A.M.

MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER
Chronological Bible Reading: Numbers 31-33; Mark 6:1-28
Monday, February 29

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Fairest Lord Jesus:
Sometimes I am afraid to open my mouth for you, yet you are the greatest
drawing card ever seen.
What drew me to Christ? Wasnt it simply you who drew me to yourself?
And if it was, then why should I be afraid of failure, rejection, or mistreatment if
I tell others about you? You will always draw others, just like you drew me (the
faults and frailty of the messenger notwithstanding).
If people are drawn to Harvest Baptist Church by anything else, they will
soon be drawn away. But whosoever you draw Jesus, you hold onto, yourself.
Lord! Help me not doubt your power to draw! I do that when I hold my
tongue, keep my peace, and hoard the word of the gospel to myself. I want to go
out today sharing the name of Jesuseven to those who have until now been
stubborn, like __________ and __________and trust you to draw them
according to your will.
No one is beyond your power to draw, because no one is beyond your
ability to save! Anyone can feel the magnetic force of grace. Draw them by your
Spirit today by making me more evangelistic. A soulwinner knows

Logic will not draw like grace will draw

Eloquence will not draw like grace will draw

Argument and debate will not draw like grace will draw
Jesus, draw men and women to yourself through me! I dont need any other
gimmick. Help me as a worker of the word to work your way, and to draw with
the cords of Christ. Because I know if I draw to Christ, and I draw by Christ,
then Christ will draw through me. So I ask it in Jesus blessed name. Amen.
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING
Chronological Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 4-6; Mark 8
Thursday, March 3

Gen. 41:42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Josephs
hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;

HAVE you lost your joy

Have you given up all hope of trying
Have you lost your strength
Even when the word of the Lord demands
Dont give up, I know that He cares
Do you feel alone
In the middle of the night
When theres no one near to call
Have you lost your peace
Has doubt and fear brought you to your knees
Dont give up, I know that He cares
Oh, I know He cares
His eyes go to and fro, He cares
Dont give up, I know that He cares
I know, I know, lay down oh, cast your care
I know He cares, His burden is light
I know He cares

Jonathan Butler, 2012

TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS LIFE

Chronological Bible Reading: Numbers 34-36; Mark 6:29-56
Tuesday, March 1

Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my
disciple.

WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 1-3; Mark 7
Wednesday, March 2

Rom. 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Good Master:
Fulfill my hearts desire, and lay your cross on my shoulder even now. I
should not wear it if I will not bear it. Prepare me for the height of blessing you
call me to this week, and let me receive gratefully the painful preparation
necessary to receive your highest good. Teach me how high things need deep
foundations, and it takes a long time to excavate a human soul so deep it will be
ready for a palace in eternity. Advancement in grace often comes by affliction.
You are the all-sufficient Helper. If severe trials are ordained today, then
strengthen me in my infirmity, and enable me to rest in your love. Help me
realize always that I am never out of the reach of your everlasting arms. Surround
me this day with a sense of your boundless love and infinite wisdom.
Father, I thirst to be like Christ, to bring glory to his sacred name! I praise
you for the awesome stoop of your condescending grace. You only are worthy of
all my love. Cause me to not only know your precious word, but to retain it in my
heart so it will fuel fires of affection, and kindle a lively, fervent faith.
Help my imagination extend my vision, so from this high place of hallowed
outlook in prayer, there will arise a new determination to plant the seed of the
gospel in souls who are lost. Give me, through the living Spirit of God, a greater
likeness to Christ for their sake. Increase my thankfulness for your providence,
because grace always strikes the bell when the best moment arrives. You bless
me by temporary delays as well as prompt replies. Make the time of the
promise correspond with the needs I have today. For so I ask it in Jesus
powerful name and to his glory. Amen.

O Lord God:
I beg you to listen favorably to the prayers of your people so we, who are
rightly punished for our sins, can be mercifully delivered by your goodness, to the
glory of your Name, through Jesus Christ our Savior. You see how I put no trust
in anything I do; I only trust in you. Mercifully grant that I can be defended today
by your power against all adversity, and every adversary of my soul.
Rom. 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in
our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
You teach me that all my activity without charity is worth nothing. Without
love, whoever lives is counted as dead before you. Without love, whatever is
done is counted as dung before you. Send the Holy Ghost, and pour into my
heart that most excellent gift of charity, the very bond of peace and root of all
other virtues. Grant me this kind of revival for your only Son Jesus sake!
You hate nothing you made, and you freely forgive the sins of all who
repent. Create and make in me a new and contrite heart so I, while I lament my
sins and acknowledge my wickedness before you, can by that confession and
repentance obtain all mercy, perfect remission, and forgiveness through Jesus
Christ the Lord. For our sake he fasted forty days and forty nights. Give me grace
to use such abstinence myself so, with my flesh being subdued to the Spirit, I can
ever obey your godly movements toward righteousness and true holiness. Oh my
Father! You can see I have no power within myself to help myself. Guard me
both outwardly in my body, and inwardly in my soul, so I can be defended from
all trials that come to my body, and from all temptations that assault my mind
today. Do it through the power of the cross of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY

Chronological Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 7-9; Mark 9:1-25
Friday, March 4

SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS

Chronological Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 10-12; Mark 9:26-50
Saturday, March 5

1 Chron. 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest
bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou
wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me!
Loving Lord, three simple prayers as we prepare for Easter this month:
1. For the unsaved who are searching for peace in their souls, Lord lead
them to us and us to them
2. For those who are saved and in wrong churches, Lord lead them to us
and us to them
3. For those who are saved and not going to church, Lord lead them to us
and us to them
Enlarge the borders of our congregation and our ministries! Use us to
spread the gospel among those who live in our city. Use us to make the name and
deeds of Christ known both here and abroad.
Bless us in our activities this coming spring. Give us souls as we operate our
outreach. Call-in the remainder of the fullness of the Gentiles you seek (Rom. 11:25).
Pour out a more abundant measure of your own Spirit to carry out your work
through us, for this cannot be done by man. Let your Spirit descend and be
diffused in the midst of our church to the glory of your grace!
God, establish grace and peace and give us liberty to preach. We pray for
righteous politicians to rule over us. We pray for those in places of supreme and
subordinate authority. Give them wisdom and faithfulness from heaven to
manage the affairs of this life you have entrusted to them on earth.
God, deliver our friends and those near to us from all the evils they feel or
fear. Bestow on them all the good we wish for ourselves, both here and hereafter.
For we ask it in Jesus precious name and to his honor. Amen.

Psa. 119:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
Lord of Life:
Do I pant to have more of your Spirit? Is that my sincere prayer right now?
Lord, I seek from you the zeal for your house that eats me up. I want to
hold on to it, get more of it, and not let the Devil deceive me out of retaining it.
I ask for nothing but more of you, of your divine presence and influence. I
often feel like my life is boring, even dying. Spirit of God bring me life! Revive in
us the spark of divine life. Strengthen in my heart Gods life. Give me your
quickening breath, and bring me back from the dead.
Psa. 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Sometimes my sin has so much power over me. O Spirit of God, destroy
sin within, and work holiness and purity without. Enlighten me about the truths
that are beyond me right now. Bring me more of the truth I need, so I can
conquer temptation.
I wait on you. You gave me your Son, but you also promise your Spirit. O
that I had that fire! Come in answer to my cry. Come and light our church, and
each individual member of it!
Gal. 5:25-26 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be
desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
There is no work of your Spirit unless we seek it. But all the fruit of your
Spirit will come if I ask for it. If I neglect it, I am left to watch envy provoke vain
glory. What a shame and what a sham! Make your work really real in me. Give me
more grace to seek glory for thee. I want to live my life and spend it on the one
who bought it with his divine being. You cannot do this because I am worthy,
but you must do this for the sake of your Son. So in Jesus name I ask it. Amen.

but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
GIVE GOD THE FIRST DAY OF EVERY WEEK. You should fellowship
with a group of believers around the word of God every Sunday in our church.

QUALITY CHRISTIANITY INVOLVES THREE THINGS

Keeping Christ at the center (your core relationship of worship to God)

Keeping the body of Christ a priority (your congregational relationship of
walking with us)
Basing beliefs and actions on the mind of Christ (your church relationship in
the Word)

PROMPT PETITIONS KICKSTART DEVOTION

INSTRUCTIONS:

Baptists tend to ridicule liturgical churches that use "prepared prayers" because
they lack spontaneity. But for many Baptists, their prayers are so predictable they are
no more spontaneous than written-out prayers. The result is we end up praying the
same things over and over.
This daily Prayer Diary will prompt you on a wide range of prayer requests you
might not normally think of, while forcing you to articulate a deeper devotion to
God. We have included a daily Bible reading schedule. This plan will take you
through the Bible chronologically in a year.
Do not read ahead and do not try to catch up. Use each day as it comes. Then
you can know that on any given day, dozens of other people are lifting their hearts in
the same mind to God. Pray what is written, but use what is prayed as a springboard
for your own relationship with God. You learn to pray by praying.
Alan

Secret prayer is the secret of prayer, the soul of prayer, the seal of prayer, the
strength of prayer. If you do not pray alone you do not pray at all. Our Lord Jesus
Christ would go nowhere till He had prayed. He would attempt nothing till He had
prayed.
Oh, says one, I live in the spirit of prayer, and therefore I do not need times
and seasons for prayer. And do you think that Christ did not live in the spirit of
prayer? Yet He had to have his special time and place to pray. Do not fall under the
injurious notion that because your spirit cries to God in prayer all day long, therefore
there must not be some season for more immediately coming into Gods presence. If
you imagine this, I am afraid that it will prove a snare to your feet. The Lord Jesus
Christ, who knew better than you do that the main thing is the spirit of prayer rather
than the act of prayer, yet Himself retired into desert places to maintain the act and
exercise of prayer. Be spiritual. Be baptized into the spirit of prayer. But do not be
deceived by the enemy, who can steal a spirit away while we dream that we only
spiritualize it. We had better preserve the very bones of prayerthe posture, the
time, placerather than let it all ooze away into an impalpable mental condition.
God keep us prayerful. He will do so if He makes us like His dear Son.
Charles H. Spurgeon, 1834-92
