The following is an outline I have used for my daily/morning routine. I don't follow it to the letter each and every time. This is more like a guideline, to help steer me along. I've found it quite useful.
Daily Routine:
BE STILL: Just Listen, write down what He tells you.
What did God say today?
God Said:
*Write what he said here....
PRAYER: This is the time I do some talking, but still listening also.
1 Timothy 1
18Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, 19holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. 20Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
1 Timothy 2
1 First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
Entreaties (specific felt need),
Prayers (exchange of desires/wishes),
Petitions/Intersessions (Intersection of heaven and earth, hit the bullseye, request something specific of a King. Technical/Civil term: VERY specific requests that meet an exact need!).
Thanksgivings ( Lit: giving thanks for God's grace! Gratitude, Thankfulness)
These are to be made on behalf of:
- FIRST for all people, then Kings, Leaders, those in Authority, then you would be included in all men, so your family, kin folk, etc.
- Pray for:
- God desires all men to: Be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth.
- Filled with the knowledge of His will through all Wisdom. Col 1:9
- They may be given the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. (Eph 1:15-23)
- Understanding Be Enlightened.
- Know the Hope of His calling.
- Riches through inherited Glory.
- Exceeding greatness of His power to those who believe.
Did anything else come up in prayer that should be notated?
*Write other thoughts here...
BIBLE: Instead of a bible devotional, I'm going to do a bible study.
Take a moment to jot down whatever came up during your devotional/bible time:
*Write other thoughts here...
JOURNAL: What's Up Today?
How you are feeling:
This is where you take stock of your emotional state. Is there something that you should re-write?
*Write other thoughts here...
How you are believing:
Are you EXPECTING the right things?
*Write other thoughts here...
What's happening in your life right now:
Just take stock of what's happening. Even seemingly boring stuff, that comes to mind. The weather, garden, kids, work, etc... big, small, doesn't matter. What's happening TODAY, and/or, recently, or is about to happen?
*Write other thoughts here...
The End... go about your day!
