January
Prayer Schedule
For this January prayer schedule, we will follow the same schedule as usual but with a much stronger emphasis on a new year and new ways to be a witness for Christ. Try to add extra prayer each day that focuses on building personal relationships. You may also want to pray for a new person each day with whom you can share Christ.
Just One Request
Dear Master for this coming year
Just one request I bring:
I do not pray for happiness,
Or any earthly thing—
I do not ask to understand
The way Thou leadest me,
But this I ask: Teach me to do
The thing that pleaseth Thee.
I want to know Thy guiding voice,
To walk with Thee each day.
Dear Master make me swift to hear
And ready to obey.
And thus the year I now begin
A happy year will be—
If I am seeking just to do
The thing that pleaseth Thee.
