The Personal Prayer Diary and Daily Planner is designed to assist you in integrating three vital areas of your daily life:
-
Intercessory prayer
-
Bible reading and meditation
-
Planning your daily, weekly, monthly, and annual schedules.
The 2012 edition provides many opportunities for you to live and pray intentionally throughout the year.
Mini-library of relevant Christian teaching. A series of short teachings further inform your intercession and help you discover principles readily applicable to your daily walk with God. These challenging, insightful teachings are a good foundation for this year’s theme of prayer and kingdom of God. Stunning illustrations of people from the spotlighted nations let believers pray face-to-face with the world.
Monthly articles exploring places of brokenness and redemption around the world. Each month you’ll read about a people, nation, or sphere of society in desperate need of the church’s intercession and intervention. You’ll learn how others have responded to this need and how you can help through prayer and action. Each Sunday you’ll find a reminder to pray for the people or situation discussed in that month’s profile.
Daily thematic prayer guide. Each day, a group or need related to that month’s prayer focus is targeted for prayer. Join thousands of other diary users worldwide in praying for the same people or situation.
Bible meditation and memorization guide. Weekly meditation and memory verses are found at the beginning of each week. By meditating on and memorizing each selection, you will commit 53 portions of Scripture to memory in 2012.
Weekly guide to praying for the nations including new country flags and statistics. A nation related to the monthly prayer focus is highlighted each week. Important information is included in each listing to assist you in praying for that nation. Each nation may also be located geographically using the maps section.
Two-track Bible-reading program, including a checkoff system to read the Scriptures in your own order and at your own pace:
Option 1: Read through the Bible in a year by following the reading guide each day.
Option 2: Use the checkoff system to read the Scriptures in your own order and at your own pace.
By reading an average of 3.5 chapters each day, you will read the entire Bible in one year, regardless of the order you choose to read each portion.
Calendars for planning your day, week, and year. A three-year long-range planner is included to aid your scheduling. Each month opens with a month-at-a-glance planner to keep track of important events, birthdays, and appointments. The daily calendar is designed in a handy week-at-a-glance format. This section can be used as a daily planning tool or as a daily journal and prayer diary should you desire to use the monthly planner for all your scheduling needs. (Some non-Christian religious holidays are included on the calendars as an aid to prayer.)
Personal notes and contacts. A personal notes/prayer journal page is included at the beginning of each month. Additional notes/journal pages and a handy section for recording phone numbers and addresses are included in the back of the planner.
Reference helps. The world maps, countries of the world section (statistical information for every nation), and time-zone chart provide useful data.
As you use the Personal Prayer Diary and Daily Planner, you will be encouraged and emboldened in the knowledge that you are one of thousands of Christians using this diary worldwide who are united in vital intercession.
