‪#‎TheWordWorkout‬ Tip #3. ~ Scripture Alarms {Session 3}

A great way to hold yourself accountable for your quiet time (prayer and bible study) with God is to set scripture alarms in your phone. Below is an example from an online Bible study group called HelloMornings. If you're interested, set your scripture alarms in your phone tonight and comment with a photo of your phone! Let me know if you need any help.

{Session 4}: Setting a Time and Place to Meet with the Lord

{Session 4}: Setting a Time and Place to Meet with the Lord

We have recognized that we have a thirst and that only thing that can satisfy is drinking of His living water. We have begun to be inspired to allow the word of God to be our oasis. Our hearts and minds are clear and focused on his presence and now it’s time to meet. When, where, and how shall we accomplish this plan? Why not schedule time to be alone with the Lord?

{Wednesday} Warm Up Prayer & Praise

Let us stretch our arms toward Heaven as we "Warm Up" in prayer this morning!

"This is the air I breathe, This is the air I breathe, Your holy presence living in me/ This is my daily bread, This is my daily bread, Your very word spoken to me/ And I I'm desperate for you, And I I'm I'm lost without you"

"Daily Prayer" Part 1- taken from The Weapons of Our Warfare by Kenneth Scott

Father, I come boldly before Your throne of grace thanking and praising You for this day. For this is the day that You have made; therefore I shall rejoice and be glad in it. I thank You Father that You have given me this day; and I enter into Your gates with thanksgiving, and into Your courts with praise. I give You all the glory and the honor, and I bless Your holy name.

You said that if we acknowledge You in all our ways, You would direct our path. Father, I acknowledge You in all my ways concerning this day, and I thank You for directing my path in every situation. You also said that if we commit our works unto You, that You would establish our thoughts. So I commit all my works unto You now, and I thank You for establishing and directing my every thought throughout this day. I pray that You would be a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path today, and guide me with Your eyes and Your Spirit as You order my footsteps.

Father, You said that You desire above all things that we would prosper and be in health, even as we prosper spiritually. I pray first and foremost in my life that You would bless me to prosper spiritually. Bless me to grow in grace and in the knowledge, understanding and usage of Your Word. Bless me to grow in obedience to Your Word - to be a doer of Your Word and not a hearer only. Bless me to draw close to You, and give me a continuing desire to intimately know You more. For You said that if we draw close to You , then You would draw close to us...

{Tuesday} Warm Up Prayer & Praise

{Tuesday} From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.Psalm 113:3. Let us stretch our arms toward Heaven as we "Warm Up" in prayer this morning!

Heavenly Father, I pray that you would continually bless and allow me to magnify You, and lift up Your holy, mighty, and majestic name all the days of my life. For Your loving kindness is better than life. Therefore, my lips shall forever praise You and I will bless You as long as I shall live.

Father, these things I desire and pray above all else: that I will always love You with all of my heart, soul, strength and might; that I may dwell in Your presence all the days of my life; that I may never lose my love for You; that I will always seek You first and foremost all the days of my life, and never stop seeking You, or take my eyes off of You; that You will always be the apple of my eyes; and that You will keep my heart in love of God and not allow anything to separate me from You, or take my love from You.

I thank You Father that You are everything to me. For You have revealed Yourself to me through Your Word as "JEHOVAH", THE GREAT "I AM." For You are everything I need.

When I'm thirsty, You're the Living Water which fills me up until I overflow with gladness. When I'm hungry You're the Bread of Life which feeds my soul. When I'm in need of a friend, You're a Friend that sticks closer than any brother. When I need a doctor, You're my Great Physician. When I need peace, You're the Prince of Peace. When I'm in battle, You're my Captain in Charge. When I'm in court, You're my Great Advocate. When storms arise, You're my Peace in the midst of every storm, and You become my Bridge over troubled waters.

Father, I pray that Your goodness and mercy follows me this day, as well as throughout all the days of my life, as You bless me to dwell in Your secret place. And I give You all the glory, the honor, the praise, the adoration and thanksgiving.

For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory, forever and ever, AMEN!

"Prayer of Praise and Worship" Part 2- taken from The Weapons of Our Warfare by Kenneth Scott

Heavenly Father, In You , O Lord my God, the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty over all the heavens and in the earth is Thine. Thine is the Kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is the power to make great and to give strength unto all.

I love You, O Lord my God. For truly You are my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer, My God, and the Strength in whom I will trust. You are my Buckler, the Horn of my salvation, My High Tower, and the joy and the strength of my life. You are indeed the Shepherd and Bishop of my soul.

I praise You, O Lord, my God. I worship You as my Master, my Owner, my King, My Savior, and my Lord. I offer myself unto You as a living sacrifice. O Lord, let the fruit of my lips give You praise continually, and let the lifting of my hands unto You never cease. Let my prayers be set before You as incense, and let the lifting of my hand unto You be as the evening sacrifice. And Father as I send forth blessings and praises unto You, let them be a sweet sound in Your ear.

I love You, O Lord my God; and I pray that You will bless me to exalt You and Your Holy name forever and ever. For You are great, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; and Your greatness is unsearchable and never ending....
