Fervent and Effective Prayers: For Every Day in the Week from Sunday to Saturday

By Rev. Dr. Kwame O. Lartey

This book, "Frevent And Effective Prayers For Every Day In The Week, From Sunday To Saturday," was inspired by the Holy Spirit to transform and renew lives, change attitudes, redirect wrong motives, empower believers to develop blameless and guiltless consciences and wholesome and effective spiritual life styles, through a serious and sincere daily examination of the bleievers conscience, attitudes, motives and lifestyles. This model is based on Psalm 139:23&24, where David prays:"Search me O God and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." (NLT).

It is a book that will help us not to live to ourselves, nor pursue our own desires, nor to please ourselves to the detrement of others, but to live to the will and pleasure of God. It is a book that will help us "be crucified unto the world and the world curcified unto to us," be resurrected with Christ to reign and rule with Him, seated at the Right Hand of God in Heaven. It is a book that will help us all believers who use it daily experience the truth: "Christ is in you, the hope of glory" (Gal.2:19 6:14&15 Col. 1:27)

I believe it is a book meant for the times in which we live. A time of turbalence, violence, frustration, dispair and hopelessness, for both the young and the old. The person who prays these prayers daily and consistently will experience calmness in the face of fear, empowerment and victory over the problems of this world.

The

Preface

The following Collection of Prayers is designed only for those who, by the mercy of God, have, first, leisure at least half an hour twice a day, for their private addresses to Him; and, second, a sincere reverence for, if not some acquaintance with, the ancient Christian Church. He who has not the former qualifications, will take offence at the length; he who has not the latter, at the matter of them.

The intention of the collector was, first, to have forms of prayer for every day in the week, each of which contained something of deprecation, petition, thanksgiving, and intercession. Second, to have such forms for those days which the Christian Church has ever judged peculiarly proper for religious rejoicing, as contained little of deprecation, but were explicit and large in acts of love and thanksgiving. Third, to have such for those days, which from the age of the apostles have been set apart for religious mourning, as contained little of thanksgiving, but were full and express in acts of contrition and humiliation. Fourth, have intercessions every day, for all those whom our own church directs us to remember in our prayers. Fifth, to comprise in the course of petitions for the week, the whole scheme of our Christian duty.

Whoever follows the direction of our excellent church, in the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures, by keeping close to that sense of them which the Catholic Fathers and ancient bishops have delivered to succeeding generations, will easily see that the whole system of Christian duty is reducible to the five heads.

First the renouncing ourselves: If any man will come after me, let him renounce himself and follow me. This implies, first, a thorough conviction that we are not our own; that we are not the proprietors of ourselves, or anything we enjoy; that we have no right to dispose of our goods, bodies, souls, or any of the actions or passions of them.

Second, a solemn resolution to act suitably to this conviction; not to live to ourselves, not to pursue our own desires, not to please ourselves, nor to suffer our own will to be any principle of action to us.

Third, such a renunciation of ourselves naturally leads to the devotion of ourselves to God. As this implies, first, a thorough conviction, that we are God’s: that He is the proprietor of all we are, and all we have; and not only by right of creation, but of purchase; for He died for all, and therefore he died for all, that they which live, should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him that died for them.

Fourth, a solemn resolution to act suitably to this conviction. To live unto God, to render unto God the things which are God’s, even All we are, and All we have, to glorify Him in our bodies, and in our spirits, with the powers, and all the strength of each, and to make His will our sole Principle of Action.

Fifth, self-denial is the immediate consequence of this. For whoever has determined to live no longer to the desires of people, but to the Will of God, will soon find that he cannot be true to His Purpose, without denying himself, and taking up his Cross daily. He will daily feel some desire to which His own principle of action, the will of God, does not require Him to indulge. In this therefore, he must either deny himself or so far deny the faith. He will daily meet with some means of drawing nearer to God, which are unpleasing to flesh and blood. In these therefore, he must either take up his cross, or so far renounce his Master.

Sixth, by a constant exercise of self-denial, the true follower of Christ continually advances in mortification. He is more and more dead to the world, and the things of the world, till at length he can say, with that * Perfect disciple of his Lord, I desire nothing more but God; or with St. Paul, I am crucified unto the world; I am dead with Christ: I live not, but Christ lives in me.

Seventh, Christ lives in me: This is the fulfilling of the law, the last stage of Christian holiness. This makes the man or woman of God perfect; he that being dead to the world, is alive to God, the desire of whose soul is unto His name, who has given Him his whole heart, who delights in Him, and in nothing else but what tends to Him; who for His sake burns with love for all humanity; who neither thinks, speaks, nor acts, but to fulfill His will, is on the last rung of the ladder to heaven, Grace has had its full work upon his soul; the next step he takes is into glory.

May the God of glory give unto us who have not already attained this, neither are already perfect, to do this one thing, forgetting those things which are behind, to press toward this mark, for the prize of our high calling in Christ Jesus.

May He so enlighten our eyes, that we may reckon
