The Lord blessed me with a good idea the other day, and perhaps it will bless you as well. I decided to pick a New Testament prayer and try to pray through it every day of the month. This will probably lead to the memorization of the text, which never hurts, and I hope that it will deepen my prayers. Praying inspired prayers is a sure way to pray in accordance with God’s will! So here are the texts I picked for the next year:
July, Ephesians 3:14–21
August, Philippians 1:9–11
September, Colossians 1:9–12
October, 1 Thessalonians 3:11–13
November, 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12
December, 1 Timothy 1:12–17
January, Philemon 1:6
February, Jude 1:24–25
March, 2 Corinthians 13:7–9
April, Ephesians 6:14–20
May, 1 Thessalonians 5:23–25
June, Hebrews 13:18–21
I just wanted you to know that I have linked to this at our church blogsite WINGS AS EAGLES, as a means to encourage the church to pray Biblical prayers.
Thanks for posting this great plan of prayer for the next year.

You may want to look into Jewish liturgical prayers. If you’ve never looked at them before they are quite phenomenal. Mostly composed of Scripture, they appeal to God’s mercy, kindness and covenant promises. They’re really quite beautiful.
Bro. Jim,
Last June I notified you above of our link at Wings As Eagles and I have posted each month in our Prayer of the Month page. Thanks a lot.
Will you be posting some more for the next year?
Just wondering.
