When I became a young Christian I had participated in many different areas of ministry trying to see what area I liked best. I remember doing some door greeting, children's ministry, and many other areas but the area that I always fondly look back to is the time when I was part of a special prayer team at our local church.
This ministry was two-fold. One part of this ministry was being a volunteer at the prayer altar so when the pastor called people up to pray they would have a partner to pray with. That was wonderful--I loved it and it was such an eye opener to see that not everyone had it all together and desperately needed God. That really changed my perspective of how I viewed people early on and it was such a blessing to be able to pray for people (sometimes even on their knees crying) and connect with people on such a deep level where they needed someone the most.
The second part of this ministry that I just LOVED was that when our pastor preached a team of us would be behind the stage sitting on chairs and praying for him, the sermon, the congregation and whatever else the Lord placed on our hearts. It was a wonderful time and I will never forget it.
And throughout all the years I have always prayed to God in my head all throughout the day. It is something I just can't NOT do!
That is why I wanted to share this "30 Days of Prayer for the New Year" for you to print out.
You can do this along with me for the month of January or any other time of the year!

Extra Day: Special Prayer Day - since there are 31 days in January you can pray for everything shown in the calendar or say a special prayer for something you'd like to pray about.
Here is an example of how you could fill your calendar in if you'd like to:
You can use this list for the whole year if you'd like!
Also, if you would like to be inspired in your prayer life or want to learn how to prayer strategically you might want to check out the book The Battle Plan of Prayer by the Kendrick brothers.
You can find it HERE.
Many of you love praying AND writing your prayers out in a Prayer Journal. Here are a few cute ones:
"She is Clothed with Strength and dignity" Christian Journal can be found HERE.
You can find this one that has modern calligraphy in it HERE.
I hope these are a blessing to you!

This is great, June, as our pastor is preaching on prayer through January. I will share w/ our groups. Note: when I went into print the lovely calendar, it automatically allows 21 pages of printing instead of just the calendar. Can that be fixed on your end? I caught it and only printed the one page. Have a great day today praying for your Work (me, too!) always more work to be done!
