I can also direct you to others, if you'd like, I will search for more choices. Here is one "Call to Pray" with 10 days of prayer and resources. I know different churches start their year this way, like my home church in Minnesota (sometimes the entire month) or some I found online: City Church, I think Saddleback with Pastor Rick Warren's Daniel Plan followed by "50 days of Transformation" study, Celebration Church (21 days), Church on the Rock, CrossGates or a day with Moody Church. I'm sure there are others. Some follow the Daniel Plan or other ways but the theme is not only PRAYER but FASTING so we are in tune and listening to what God may reveal. Many do not start until the week of January 5th ... so you still have time to look around and decide.
Meanwhile, I have been looking at You Version for specific reading plans that focus on PRAYER, which I will start sharing here. I found about 47 different ones, and a few struck me. The one I like most is a 40 day plan designed to help you pray for your neighbors and your own street (but the main site is for the UK, although it would work for any of us in our own neighborhoods; it would be quite the undertaking and not feasible for me from here for right now). So I looked at my next 2 favorite choices (due to content and length):
or
There is also one specifically for a 21 Day Fast, if that interests you. Others are more specific and also quite a few just give readings in God's Word like another favorite that I considered, but it's a 52 day commitment (too much for me for right now to get started but I may consider it later in the year): A.C.T.S. Prayer Bible Reading.
I considered taking a vote of your favorite that you might like but then I would not have been able to prepare them for posting, so perhaps another time, we'll do a vote.
I hope that you also take time to click (open) the DAILY PRAYER page above, which comes from author Germaine Copeland's Daily Prayer page (between the astericks) and have taken time to read or subscribe to the daily devotions offered by Prayer Central with Kathleen Dillard and team (excellent choices to daily guide your prayers) that follow on that same page above. My favorites this past year besides Kathleen's Weekly Word or Today's Prayer (from Fetch a Prayer with them) were "In His Name" and "Draw Near". Actually I could spend most of my day at her site, praying and interceding.
In two separate posts, I will be sharing Day 1 from my two favorites. Actually, they will probably be preposted before this on Dec. 31st or before the PRAISE TIME post, and you'll be wondering where the "Prayer Requests" went and why these are here. But it's because I wanted you to have these as samples to start Day 1 on January 1, 2014.
Yet, I still love "Neighbors Love Your Streets" and I have downloaded much of their resources to personally use. I already had chosen a 10 week study or plan by Beth Moore on P.R.A.I.S.E. (a new book - I think - at least it's new to me) where Beth leads us with a new "prayer formula" using the word "PRAISE" to journal our prayers: P=praise, R=repentance, A= acknowledgement, I=intercession, S=supplication, E=equipping. (the first two may be interchanged on some days, she writes because there are times when we cannot truly praise God without cleaning up our act first). Maybe God will lead me to share more of this or Stormie Omartian's books that I also read and pray fervently.
I hope you will join me in one of these reading plans and start; PRAISING, ADORING, THANKING, and INTERCEDING as we do here at the Lighthouse of Prayer in 2014.
