MY DAILY PRAYER PLAN, AGAIN  

PROPHECIES ARE GOD'S REVEALED PLANS

God's revealed plans are called prophecies.  Prophecies like Isaiah 7:14 foretold the first coming of Jesus Christ:

Isaiah 7:14   Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

This prophecy reveals God's plan.  When the prophecy was fulfilled it confirmed God's plan.  God is a planner.  I am made in God's image.  I  need to plan.  Unlike God, my plans may, or may not, come to pass.  But I still need to plan.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING

Most of us already do a lot of planning, but there are some areas of our lives that go without planning, much to our detriment.  That is why I have been focusing in my blog  on planning.  I've followed my daily exercise plan, since January 1, 2013, Doing that has given me confidence, and encouragement to examine other areas of my life, to see where I might  benefit from planning.

LOVE AND TRUST

I announced my daily prayer plan yesterday.   I am committed to following it..  Having it in writing gives it concreteness, firmness, distinctness, and clarity.  I can see it in my mind, and I truly want to do it.  I know it will not always be easy to stay on the plan, but I will make every effort to do so, because I don't want to fail.  I also believe I will benefit from it.  That is because I will be spending more time in prayer than I have been up to now.  Unlike physical exercise, which mainly helps the body, prayer can improve any and every part of my life.  I know my trust in God, and my love of God,  will grow as I spend more time with Him.    

MY DAILY PRAYER REPORT

Genesis 1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.  And the evening and the morning were the first day. 

God viewed the new day as starting with evening, the time when it gets dark, sunset.  Man has assigned the  new "day" to begin at midnight.  Midnight, as you know, is actually the middle of the "night". That is why, in my humble opinion,  it is called MID-NIGHT.   God's plan for the first day, and every day since, follows the sun.  When the daylight is gone,  the "day" is over, and a   new "day" begins.  My daily prayer report will follow God's "evening and morning" day plan.

Psalm 55:17: Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:  and he shall hear my voice.
