Today (Friday) at 7:00 AM began our church's participation in Intercede I-366. This is a statewide effort to have Florida Baptists in prayer each day of 2008. Many have signed up for a 30 minute block to spend time in prayer. If you didn't sign up, please take a few minutes today and pray.
Taken from the Intercede I-366 page, here are a few tips for prayer:

Spend Time in Worship:
True worship is walking in the fear of the Lord, obeying Him and His Word, and withholding nothing from Him, it is a moment-by-moment surrender of all you are to all He is (Romans 12:1-2; Matthew 6:9).

Give Thanks To the Lord:
—We have much for which to be thankful. Some helpful Scriptures to focus your thanksgiving include: Psalm 100; Romans 1:8; 1 Corinthians 1:4-9; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 9:15; Ephesians 1:15-16; Colossians 1:3-4; 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3; 2:13; Philippians 1:3-4. be specific in thanking the Lord for the following:

Spiritual Blessings—You may want to write these in your notebook/journal.

Relational Blessings—Name names of family members, friends, and fellow believers.

Physical Blessings

Material Blessings

Trials/Pressures and Certain People— Matthew 5:10-12, 43-48; James 1:2-5).

Spend Time In God's Word:

Pray the Scriptures

Passages you can pray or that can help you pray the Word of God include: Joshua 1-2; 1 Samuel 1-2; Psalm 1, 19, 119; Matthew 5-7; Ephesians 1:15-21; 3:14-21; Philippians 1:9-11; Colossians 1:9-12; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5.

A Time of Prayer for Spiritual Awakening
In our churches, neighborhoods, communities, schools, government, recreation and media.

A Time of Prayer for Your Work
Pray for your work of ministry, missions and maintenance.

A Time of Prayer for the Warfare You Face
Pray concerning your war with the “flesh”, your war with the world and your war with the devil.

Pray about your relationship with the Lord

Pray over your daily schedule

Pray over your family/home

Pray over your other relationships

For each of these areas, especially for those closest to you, pray the B.L.E.S.S. prayer.

B.—Bodily needs: physical health, strength

L.—Labor needs: work, finances/budget

E.—Emotional needs: strains and stresses in life, freedom from worry, well-being in their lives

S.—Social needs: relationships at home, work, school, church or in the neighborhood

S.—Spiritual needs: that each would have a personal, growing relationship to Jesus as Lord and Savior and be involved in a healthy, truth-telling, truth-living local church

As you close your “Day of Prayer,” thank the Lord for His guidance in this day; the way He has spoken to you; and for the way He will work in the days ahead through your praying. You may want to write a letter to the Lord in your journal, notebook or simply on a piece of paper. Record your praises, thanks and thoughts from the day. Remember, you have invested in eternity (Revelation 5:8).

As you close your “Day of Prayer,” consider the days ahead. Continue your time with the Lord with these helpful ideas for your daily walk.
