Morning and Evening Prayer Guide
While reading the Scripture is crucial, we often deprive ourselves of the full diet of life in Christ when we make study an end in itself. We read and study to know God. But knowing God is always expressed in prayer and worship. Succintly put: we read to pray.
Here are some guides for morning and evening prayer Daniel compiled, based on Patrick Curles’ Presbyterian Book of Common Worship. Each guide includes a suggestive guide for starting a spiritual friendship with two others for regular prayer, confession, and encouragement. In the appendix is a suggested Scripture reading guide based on D.A. Carson’s plan (originally developed by Robert Murray M’Cheyne). For the enthusiast, Daniel has also created a reading plan following the order of the Hebrew OT, the Tanakh (Torah, Prophets, Writings).
The guides posted below only differ as regards which canonical order is followed in the reading plan, and as to paper size.
