Helpful Tools: Weekly Prayer Guide

         Do you have a plan for your Prayer Life?  

         Being "Lead by the Spirit" is a wonderful plan for prayer, but without a strong, focused, and disciplined mind we can easily be distracted with flighty thoughts.  Maybe, it's just me.

         Here's the plan I follow to help me keep focused.  Remember as you use your plan don't be so locked in that you're not "Lead by the Spirit." 

Put on the Armor of God every day.
Ephesians 6:13-18 ¹³Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ¹⁸And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Remember the kind of Life you have been saved to live. 
Galatians 5:25-26 ²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. ²⁵Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
