Eternal Father of my soul, let my first thought today be of you, let my first impulse be to worship You, let my first speech be Your name, let my first action be to kneel before You in prayer.
For Your perfect wisdom and perfect goodness;
for the love with which You love mankind;
for the love with which You love me;
for the great and mysterious opportunity of my life;
for the indwelling of Your Spirit in my life;
I praise you and worship You, O Lord.
Yet let me not, when this morning prayer is said, think my worship ended and spend the day in forgetfulness of You. Rather from these moments of quietness let light go forth, and joy, and power, that will remain with me through all the hours of the day.

Prevent us from falling in love with the pleasures and possessions of the world and neglecting our own spiritual growth or the opportunity to serve others.

7 Practical Suggestions for Using the Daily Prayer Guides
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak"- Matthew 26:40-41
You are about to embark on one of life's greatest adventures: the life-changing discipline of fervent prayer! To ensure your successful completion of the 40 Days, consider these practical suggestions:
You are about to embark on one of life's greatest adventures: the life-changing discipline of fervent prayer! To ensure your successful completion of the 40 Days, consider these practical suggestions:
1. Choose a specific time when you will pray each day (Daniel 6:10); be sure it is a time you will be alert (Matthew 26:40-41). Choose a specific place to be when you pray each day; make sure it is one where you will be undistracted (Matthew 6:6).
2. Decide now where you will keep your prayer guide so that you can find it readily. For example, consider leaving it by your bedside or in your Bible.
3. Each day during your devotional time, read aloud the specific prayer requests for that day. This will help your mind focus on the petitions you will be offering. To track your progress, check off the box by each date after you have completed that day's petitions.
4. If you are married or have a family, consider praying together (1 Peter 3:7.)
5. The prayer guide also contains daily scripture readings. Take a moment to read each day's scripture aloud before praying, to clear your mind and prepare your heart for your conversation with God (Psalm 19:14).
6. The prayer guide is designed to expand our prayer time by going beyond routine requests (Ephesians 6:18); therefore, be sure to include ALL of the petitions in your devotions.
7. Finally, remember that our Father wants to speak to US, too! Ask God to help you be sensitive to the leading of His Spirit (Romans 8:12-27, Galatians 5:16-18) and alert to the answers He sends in your life (Acts 12:12-16)!

40 Days of Prayer Starts Sunday!
40 Days of Prayer
2014
Revival
comes only when we humble ourselves before God (2 Chronicles 7:14). Throughout the history of God's people,
outpourings of spiritual power have been preceded by periods of intense prayer
(Acts 1:14). In this evil age we believe the Lord's church needs to be revived
by God's power. Therefore the theme of
this year's prayer campaign is "Revive Us Again."
All
who are willing to participate are asked to use each week's prayer guide to pray each day for 40
days, and to pray for the specific needs identified by the overseers of our
church family. Prayer items are labeled either PR (Praise), IN (Intercession),
SG (Spiritual Growth), CF (Confession), or MN (Ministry Needs).
This
year you are also encouraged by our shepherds to participate on the 20th Day (Friday,
November 8) as a day of both prayer AND fasting. Look
for more details in regard to that day very soon!
