DAILY PRAYER, OUR STRENGTH AND OUR

SONG; OUR SUSTENANCE

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY

27 ISAIAH 51:11

“Those who have been ransomed by the Lord (your name!) will enter Jerusalem

singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Sorrow and

mourning will disappear, and they (your name) will

be filled with gladness. What a beautiful scene this verse promises to us who follow Jesus! Live today and each day with that glorious confidence and

assurance!

28 ISAIAH 54:5

“Your Creator will be your husband; the Lord of

Heaven’s Armies is His Name! He is your

Redeemer, the Holy One, the God of all the earth.”

Wow! I don’t know about you but I am

overwhelmed with love for my God! Lift up your prayers of love for Him, and sing out His praises as you walk through this

day!

29 EPHE 6:18

“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every

occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your

prayer for all believers everywhere.” There you have it. Straight from God’s Word. So do it.

Begin today.

REVIEW OF BIBLE

“Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that

no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as

children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.

Hold firmly to the Word of life.” These are Paul’s

instructions to the church in Philippi, and continue to

instruct us as well. Pray for the Spirit’s transforming

refinement.

FLIP OVER FOR OCTOBER CALENDAR

“Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us.” I much prefer laughter to

sorrow, but I find peace in knowing that sorrow will always partner with us through this life, as we

fight the consequences of a broken world. Be guided

by the Holy Spirit in prayerful response.

“I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they

will be my people.” Pray that you live each day in step with the Holy Spirit,

ready to do God’s Will as it presents itself,

standing for justice and living in grace-filled

mercy.

Paul encourages the Corinthian church to

understand the principles of giving. That one must

continue to be responsible to those who depend on

them, and that giving must come from a response to Christ, not from personal

gain. Reorganize your giving portfolio with this

wisdom, praying for direction.

In our reading today in our One Year Study Bible we

learn that the Christian life is marked by a forgiving spirit and a generous concern for

those in need. Today in prayer reflect on your life,

perhaps confessing shortcoming while asking God to instill through His

Spirit a generous and forgiving spirit.

“Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” I

believe I have prayed this verse more than any

other verse in the span of my lifetime thus far. If

this were the desperate cry of every Christian on a daily basis, what would our lives and ultimately

our world look like? Pray.

Paul reminds us that sharing the gospel

doesn’t require formal speaker training, rather a

heart that is open and learning daily from God’s

Word, and a humble willing spirit that shares a

simple story of God’s great love and mercy and grace for all his children. Pray for opportunities!

“Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed,

Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the

rights of widows.” Yesterday we prayed the

cleansing of our hearts and motives. Today we pray for

God to send us out, to serve, to love, to defend, to

protect the needy. Pray bold prayers today ladies!

Sometimes su�ering is a catalyst to draw us

closer, more dependent upon His sustenance. Lift up those in desperate

places, those who are su�ering, and bring

the love of Christ into their days with a prayer over them.

Read aloud Psalm 46:1-11 as you enter into

prayer. Be nourished by the attributes of

God as our refuge and strength, our help in

times of troubles. Call to Him with your

desperate cries and know that He is God, and Heaven’s armies

are among us.

“Here I am, send me.” A bold response to the call of God spoken by Isaiah. As followers of God, you also hear this call. Are you willing? Ready? Prayed up?

Dialed in? Dress in the armour of God as you

step into today, responding to the call.

The Prophet Isaiah imagines what the ‘day of the Lord’ will be like. The day of the Lord promises that final justice will come for everyone, both good and bad. Today, ask the

Spirit to guide you day by day to usher in justice

until that day.

Read these verses aloud letting the Spirit fill your mind with the beautiful

expectation of what is to come when Jesus returns again to usher in heaven!

What joy that day will be! We know the day of the Lord is

waiting until all have a chance to come to

repentance. Be a light, share your story, share His love!

Asherah poles were images of Asherah, a

Canaanite goddess who was the female consort of Baal. They were obstacles throughout the history of

the Israelites causing them to sin. Today, in

prayer, ask for the strength to remove the Asherah poles in your own life. Life a life of

singular worship of God!

But as for me, I will sing about YOUR power. Each

morning I will sing with joy about YOUR unfailing love.

For YOU have been my refuge, a place of safety

when I am in distress. O my Strength, to You I sing

praises, for YOU, O God, are my refuge! Sing your

prayers today! Sing praises to the Lord!

In our reading today in the One Year Bible we

find ourselves in Galatians, where Paul is

fighting to prove that it is the work of Jesus that has made us righteous,

not the law. That the Spirit leads us now, and

that a life of faith entrusts everything in

every day to God. Pray as the Spirit leads.

“The people who walk in darkness will see a great light…” Usually we read this account of Jesus coming at Christmas when we

ceremonially celebrate His birth. Today lift

thankfulness in prayer for God’s plan of

redemption.

“You are a tower of refuge to the poor, a

tower of refuge to the needy in distress.” Run

to the Lord in your desperate times, and

be physical representation of a tower of refuge for those in need, by

praying in the Spirit over them.

Worship is a natural response when our

brokenness is greeted by the strong arm of the Lord whose grace wraps us in His arms

and carries us. Reflect back on ALL He has done for you, filling

with joy as you let Him carry you under His

wings.

“Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t

get tied up again in slavery to the law.” What does freedom look like in

your life? Untie those bonds of perfectionism and shame. Run free in

prayerful praises!

“Use your freedom to serve one another in

love… love your neighbor as yourself…

let the Holy Spirit produce love, joy, peace, patience,

kindness, goodness, self control.” Make this

the prayer of your heart today for right

living every day.

“Use your freedom to serve one another in

love… love your neighbor as yourself…

let the Holy Spirit produce love, joy, peace, patience,

kindness, goodness, self control.” Make this

the prayer of your heart today for right

living every day.

“Those who are taught the Word of God should

provide for their teachers, sharing all

good things with them.” Lift up your prayers

over our pastors, teachers, mentors, and influencers. Be radically

generous in giving to them.

Our reading today finds us in Isaiah chapter 40

verses 12-31. We learn in these verses that our

world is not spinning out of control, our lives are not beyond His reach. We have a God who

loves us and wants the best for us. Pray in humble response.

God’s loving attributes are desperately needed

in our world today. Missions work is not just overseas. It begins right next door. Whom can you show kindness to

today? Who needs to be encouraged? Thanked?

Pray first, step out.

Each of us has unique God-given talents. In

addition, because of our ‘story’ we are given unique

strengths. Combining these gifts from God we are called to use them to build the kingdom of God

here on earth. How are you using your gifts? Pray for

understanding and opportunity.

“I pray that from His glorious, unlimited

resouces He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. That

your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. That you will

have the power to understand how wide, how

long, how high and deep His love is.” Amen.

26 PROV 24:3-4

‘Through wisdom a house is built, and becomes strong

through understanding. Through knowledge its

rooms are filled with all sort of precious riches and

valuables.” Consider your ‘house’, the inner temple of

your heart as you pray today. Walk through its rooms.

Does wisdom and understanding line its walls? Begin remodeling. Keep in

the Word and prayer.

How are you living each day as a follower of Jesus? Are you pursuing peace?

Intent on unifying the church as one voice that

lifts up the Name of Jesus above all else? Are you encouraging others, not

critical or self-seeking? Are you actively learning the

Word of God through consistent teaching?

Reflect in prayer.

A repentant heart is the central burning

characteristic of a follower of Jesus. Without daily repentance that comes from a desire to please

God and to become more like Him in our unique

selves, we are at risk of a hardened heart that cannot

be pliable and useful in kingdom work. Begin your prayers on your knees, in

confession.

“O Sovereign Lord, I can’t speak for you! I’m too

young! The Lord replied, Don’t say that. You must go

wherever I send you and say what I tell you. Don’t be afraid for I am with you and

will protect you.” Rest in the assurance that when

He calls you to do something, He will provide

all you need. Pray for direction, listen, then

obey—go!

“Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool…I will bless those who have

humble and contrite hearts.” As you pray today, image God sitting on His

throne with his feet touching the footstool of

earth. His majesty. His awesome Presence! And yet, He loves the humble

and contrite.

Who are the kind of people we should

honor? Paul reminds us they should be those who risk their lives for

the sake of Christ. Today, lift your prayers

over our mission workers and our

partnering churches around the globe.

In our daily reading today the discussion leans toward unanswered prayers. Why does God not answer our prayers in the time frame

or the way we would want? The lesson for us to learn is endurance as we continue trusting that God is God and we are not. His ways are ultimately good, and

for our best.

“Devote yourselves to prayer with a pure mind

and a thankful heart.” What would our world look like if we, who call

ourselves Christ followers, took Paul’s

exhortation to the Colossians seriously? Pray then journal your

thoughts.

“May the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and

overflow, just as our love for you overflows. May He,

as a result, make your hearts strong, blameless

and holy as you stand with God when Jesus returns.” Wow! I love this directive

Paul send the Thessalonians. This is my

prayer over you today.

What a beautiful description we read in

Jeremiah today about the faithful people of the

Lord. “Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their confidence. They are like

tree planted along a riverbank with roots that

reach deep into the water, not bothered by heart nor drought, and never stop

producing fruit.”

Open yourself to His Presence today,

beginning your day in quiet solitude and filling with the Word of God.

Continue through the day intentionally seeking

Jesus. Close the day in quiet worship and

thanksgiving, falling asleep in His comfort.

I echo Paul’s prayer over the church in Thessalonica:

“May God give you the power to accomplish all the

good things your faith prompts you to do. Then

the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ will be honored

because of the way you live, and you will be

honored along with Him. This is made possible

because of the grace of God.”

If I could choose one verse as a mission statement for my life it would be: “Press

on toward the goal.” Phil.3:14 Today in psalms we read, “What joy for those whose strength

comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.” Can you envision yourself on that road as you step into your day? Press on!

Do you see impurities in your life that need to be burned away? Ask

the Lord today in prayer to show you any

places of thought, action and lifestyle that are not delighting Him.

Allow Him to purify you, refine you, and

bring you to a pleasant and pleasing life that honors and glorifies

Jesus.

This is my prayer over you today from the

mouth of Paul. “Let the Word of God dwell in you,

filling you. Sing psalms and hymns to God, with

thankfulness. And whatever you do, in word

or deed, do it all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through

Him.” Amen

Make every day an opportunity to

reverently grow in wisdom, knowledge and love with Jesus. What an incredible

blessing His Word is for us, knowing He reveals Himself to us through

it. Let us not take advantage of our

freedoms to worship!

We read in these verses about the call to

excellence as leaders of God. This requires a great army of prayer warriors behind them. Let us be those praying women

who lift up our pastors, teachers, mentors,

leaders. Join a prayer circle, or find a praying

friend.

It is God’s love that draws us to Him, and it is our love that draws

others toward the God within us. Loving others isn’t easy at times, but praying for His love is the first step. Don’t

begin even one more day without asking God to fill you with His love.

Be expectant!

“Do not let anyone think less of you because you

are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your

faith, your purity.” In your prayers today ask the Lord to refine you and

bring you boldness and great love in your

testimony!

“Those who won’t care for their relatives,

especially in their own household, have denied

the true faith. Such people are worse than

unbelievers.”Pray as you take soul

care inventory. Care for those God has placed

in your family if you are able. God will provide.

especially in their own household, have denied

unbelievers.”Pray as you take soul

care inventory. Care for those God has placed

Money is a di�cult issue for most of us. All riches will someday be gone, so contentment is the aim of the Christian.

Love people more than possessions. Use money for God’s work. Freely share what you have. Pray for insight and

make changes.

“Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help.

Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you… be merciful to me, O Lord, for I give myself to you. Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord, hear

my urgent cry.”

Let us sing this prayer all through the day!

“Satisfy us each morning with your

unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the

end of our lives.”

When you pray are you willing to accept God’s answer, or are you only

intent on your own plans? In prayer today, lift up your petitions to God, and let go of the

need to control the answers. Just don’t let

go of Jesus!

Our One Year Bible reminds us today in our reading that it is

“easy to lose the joy of serving God when our troubles overwhelm us

and we lose sight of God’s care for us.” Let

your serving be motivated by prayerful

thanksgiving.

Today’s reading discusses pride and its destructive forces on

both nations as well as individuals. Take

inventory of your life and service for God. Ask God to point out and remove any pride you may be harboring.

Interesting to note that Paul includes among the

character traits and virtues of an elder that he “must enjoy having guests in his home.”

Consider this in your own life as an ambassador of Jesus. Invite people in to

hear about Jesus!

Titus is full of advice on daily living as followers

of Jesus and ambassadors of His

kingdom to come. Make of list as you read, asking the Spirit to grow those things in your that need maturing while you wait

for the day when the glory of God and Jesus

will be revealed.

Father God, I lift up my prayers over my sweet sisters who love You.

Would You grant them opportunity to show love and kindness to others today in Your Name? Would you bless them as they

reach out to this broken world? Would you fill them with Your joy? Thank you, Lord! We are grateful! Amen.

“The faithful love of the Lord never ends!

His mercies never cease. Great is his

faithfulness, his mercies begin afresh

each morning.” Worship in prayer.

How great is our God!

Paul writes to Philemon that “his love has given

me much joy and comfort, for your kindess has often

refreshed the hearts of God’s people.” Let us

have that same mindset. Let your

prayers be tangible acts of love.
