HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 8:00, 9:00 & 11:00A.M.
MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER
Chronological Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 25-27; Mark 12:23:44
Monday, March 13
Psa. 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Do so! Lord and Living Savior:
I meet so many people who used to attend church, maybe as a child or teen.
They have slid back far from your presence. Make them groan to be restored!
Give them repentance over sins. Give them faith so they can come to Christ
just like they once came to churchas a little child.
Help me be your messenger to bring them a word from you. They need to
hear the gospel from the lips of someone who loves them. That will end their
fears about repenting. They cannot be restored without your Spirits work in their
heart. Work in the life of __________ and __________. The task is great, and
the flesh is more in the way now than when they were younger.
My own personal weakness is the argument that makes me cry even more
emotionally to you for help! David, when he felt like me, hastened to the mercy-
seat with the request, renew a right spirit within me. Lord, give me grace to plead with
you for the souls of those who are lost, just like I would plead for my very own.
Help meespecially in front of themto be much in prayer, and to feed much
on your word. Kill the lusts that have driven me from you, Lord. Help me watch
against future uprisings of sin.
It is said of the blind man in John 9 that as Jesus passed by he saw him. You
have your own providential path. I want to sit by the wayside where you are most
likely to bless so I can be ready when you pass by. Pass by our church! Yasss!
Pass by our outreach. Pass by our HarvestKids classes. Pass by our services this
Sunday. Pass by my own family. All power has to come from you to save even
one soul from hell. Meet me today in the place where I wait for you. Give me
grace to spread the gospel to all the lost in Jesus name. Amen.
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING
Chronological Bible Reading: Joshua 1-3, Mark 14:25-58
Thursday, March 16
Eph. 3:16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be
strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Theres a praise on the inside that I cant keep to myself
A holler stirring up from the depths of my soul
So excuse me if I seem a little giddy, or maybe even strange
But praise is the way I say thanks
Let it bring forth the sound from your heart, filled with gladness
All ye lands make a joyful noise
Let the songs of David live forever
Because praise is the way I say thanks
Theres a praise on the inside that I cant keep to myself
A holler stirring up from the depths of my soul
So excuse me if I seem a little giddy, or maybe even strange
But praise is the way I say thanks
Let it bring forth the sound from your heart, filled with gladness
All ye lands make a joyful noise
Let the songs of David live forever
Because praise is the way I say thanks

TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS CROSS
Chronological Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 28-30; Mark 13
Tuesday, March 14
Luke 23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for
me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Oh, Merciful Lord:
I am so sorry. I am sorry I am so capable of letting other peoples problems
grieve me, yet not able to remember the griefs of Jesus with emotion. The
bewitching pen of some fictional screenwriter sketches some imaginary picture of
fanciful woes, and I am cut to the heart. I am cut to the heart by movies and TV
drama or even reality TV, but what about when I picture the sufferings of
Emmanuel? Am I affected? You did well Lord, to set healthy boundaries for
our emotions.
The disciples who ministered to you at your death were women from
Galilee (Matt. 27:55-56). These weepers in Luke 23 were women of Jerusalem.
Many forgot the next day that they had wept for you the day before! If tears are
only from emotion, they are quickly wiped away and forgotten.
Such weeping is powerless because it does not change my character.
It does not produce the putting-away of sin. It does not cause real and saving
faith in Jesus. Many tears are shed under manipulative sermons or therapy
sessions, and are just so much wasted water. Once the sermon or counseling
session is over the sorrow stops, because there was no work of grace in the inner
heart. It was a surface ripple and no more. Save me from that, Lord Jesus!
Feelings are so deceptive. They make people think there is something good
in themselves just because they cried. The tears may not have come from a heart
of flesh, but are only the condensation on a heart of stone. I weep not so much
that you died, as I weep because it was my sins that made it necessary you die.
Forgive me the transgression, because I have seen the crucifixion. Amen.
FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY
Chronological Bible Reading: Joshua 4-6; Mark 14:59-72
Friday, March 17
Luke 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges,
and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Lord and Master:
Remember our cry for our city. The gospel is preached, but so many turn
their backs. Raise-up more voices to be heard! Open men and womens ears to
what is proclaimed. Compel them to come into your house of mercy.
From Blue Springs to the globe, help us be voices for God. May there be
no silent member among us regarding the things of Christ. Show us how to
overcome through the blood of the Lamb and the word of his testimony.
Bless the various ministries carried on by our church. We remember the
men and women who were trained at our side and are serving you even now.
Speak through them!
Make us more and more a living church, a church in which God shows
forth his power and his love. How we long to be one body! May all our ministries
be Holy Ghost ministries, and be an exercise of spiritual gifts among us.
We cast ourselves on you, and implore you to use us today in our families,
in our ministries, in the community, on our jobs, and in the world.
Convert those who sit with us on Sunday who are unsaved. Have mercy on
someone who once professed Christ but is now backslidden. Grant them
repentance. Let them turn back to the one they once professed to love.
Have mercy on others who are hearers, but hearers only. They are attentive
hearers, but not doers of the word. Give us your Spirit so we can operate with
anointing and power. Fill us so full of Jesus we have no room for self! Make us
more like your Son to the glory of God, and so others will be drawn to Christ and
get saved. Do this by Jesus power for his own names sake. Amen.
WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 31-34; Mark 14:1-24
Wednesday, March 15
Psa. 43:2 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I
mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Holy Father:
Why have you cast me off? There are many valid reasons why you could, but
no reason why you will. You sometimes treat me like a castoff for a while, but
you have not cast me off altogether.
Why do I go mourning at my oppression? Probably because I am saved, and so
must be made more like my Savior. Lord, help me not sin during the sorrow of
stress. People can do so little to help me, but you can do all things with a glance.
Psa. 43:5 hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my
countenance, and my God.
There is need for patience, but yet cause for hope.
Psa. 80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Do not turn my circumstances around; just turn me! Everything will
come out right if I am right. I need you Lord to do this, because conversion
(turning) is as much a God thing as creation. Restore me. Revive me again.
Psa. 85:1 LORD, thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Many a time I have been brought into soul-captivity by my backsliding, but
you have never left me there. Be favorable to me once again.
Psa. 85:4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
That is the main thing. Revive me and all will be well. You dont need
turning from your anger so much as I need turning from my sin. Only you can
turn me. If I turn to prayer, I am beginning to turn from sin.
I am dead or dying, faint and feebleyou alone can revive me. Give me
your grace as I give you my worship. I adore you today, O Jesus. Amen.
SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS
Chronological Bible Reading: Joshua 7-9; Mark 15:1-23
Saturday, March 18
Psa. 89:15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O
LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
We Have Heard the Joyful Sound!
Praise is a specially joyful sound, and I look forward to rejoicing this
Sunday with others. In the meantime, there is no hour in the day, and no day in
my life I cannot rejoice in the name, the person, the character, and the works of
the Lord Jesus. My all-sufficient Lord is an all-sufficient source for rejoicing.
Your righteousness rewards me and lifts me up. Your word encourages me,
no matter what my past oppression or depression. Life would be filled with
misery if I did not have you, Jesus!
In you I have both righteousness and strength. You are my beauty and
glory when I am strong in you. You are my comfort and encouragement when I
tremble because of conscious weakness in myself.
You have made me strong, but I must not glory in myself. I ascribe all
honor to you alone, dear Lord. I have neither strength nor beauty apart from you.
The lost need material prosperity to lift them up from despair; I find
encouragement in the secret love of God.
Psa. 89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
The almighty power of God abides permanently with you, Lord Jesus. You
are redeemer and ruler of my life. We need you among us, so there will be no
lack of power in our church!
You have been gracious and faithful. Restore your glory on earth today, by
the presence of your Spirit and the enthroning of your Son! Reveal even now a
foretaste of all your covenant holds for me in Christ Jesus. I exalt you as King of
kings and Lord of lords forever. Amen.
 HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 8:00, 9:00 & 11:00A.M.
HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH
HOW TO BUILD A BALANCED LIFE
1) TIMEWORSHIP
Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and
departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
GIVE GOD THE FIRST PART OF EVERY DAY. The first commitment is
to a daily quiet time with God. Our weekly Prayer Diary provides a template for daily
devotions.
2) TITHEWORK
1 Cor 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God
hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
GIVE GOD THE FIRST DIME OF EVERY DOLLARno questions
asked. Ten percent is a miniscule amount in our affluent society, but it must come
off the top in order to show that God is our priority. We want the blessing of the
firstfruits (first devotion, first dime and first day) to flow out to the rest of our
resources.
3) TEAMWORD
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;
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)

HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH
PRAYER DIARY
INTERCEDE WITH GOD INSTRUCT SAINTS
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
