Introduction to iPray

Prayer can revolutionize your life. It gives strength

to the weak, wisdom to the fool, comfort to the

oppressed, and joy to the sorrowful. Most im-

portantly it gives us a living relationship with God.

iPray is not intended to entertain you but to help

you actually pray for fifteen minutes – to sing praise,

to pray the psalms, to give thanks, to repent and to

interecede – and to do it without distraction.

iPray works best using both the booklet and the

audio. Together they help you keep your focus

better than either would on its own.

iPray uses a 31-day rotation. Each day begins

with the statement of what day it is and the day's

theme. That is followed by an opening doxology –

a brief hymn of praise to God. The one used in

iPray is printed in the booklet only on day one. It

is a familiar one and easily remembered.

After the doxology a Bible passage on the day's

theme is read and a brief meditation is given.

A song and a psalm follow. The songs are chosen

to complement the theme of the day. They are

intentionally unadorned but still inspiring!

The psalm tone is designed for chanting two lines.

The lines are indented together to make this clear.

Where there are three lines instead of two, the

first line ends with the last note lower than normal.

Underlined syllables in the text show where note

changes occur. Each psalm ends with the doxology.

A time of giving thanks follows, beginning with a

scripture. Each day you will be given four prompts

to say a prayer of thanks. A brief pause following

the prompt is there for you to make up your own

prayer. (Whenever you want more time to pray for

something you can pause iPray by pushing the

center button.) The last prompt is always a

reminder to review the past 24 hours and to thank

God for good things that have happened.

Next is a scripture about repentance followed by

prompts to repent of some specific sins you may

have committed. Again each prompt is followed by

a brief pause giving you time to respond. The last

prompt is always a reminder to review the past 24

hours for any other sins you want to confess to

God.

Intercession follows in the same format. A

scripture passage is read and some time is given

for you to pray according to the prompts. Even

when a petition is stated broadly (e.g., those who

are ill) it is best to pray specifically whenever you

can (e.g., for my aunt with cancer).

Next you chant another psalm that reflects the

theme of the day.

This is followed by the Lord's Prayer. The one used

is spoken and printed in full only on day one.

iPray finishes with a song but you are encouraged

to continue praying on your own. You may find it

helpful to go back over one of the psalms and say

it in your own words. Or you can return to the

theme of the day and expand on that. Quiet

meditation is also a help in growing closer to the

Lord.

DDAAYY 11:: TTHHEE LLOORRDD IISS EEXXAALLTTEEDD

Doxology

Glory be to the Father and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be

world without end. Amen.

Scripture Meditation

I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will be

always in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in

the Lord. Let the afflicted hear and be glad. O

magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his

name together. (Psalm 34:1-3)

Song: By Your Steadfast Love

By your steadfast love

I will enter your house

I will worship you in your holy temple

And revere your name as I bow before you

Exult in you my Lord, my shield

Alleluia (8x)

Psalm 113 – He is exalted above the heavens

Hallelujah! Praise, O servants of the Lord,

praise the name of the Lord! 1

Blessed be the name of the Lord,

from this time forth and for evermore! 2

From the rising of the sun to its setting,

the name of the Lord is to be praised! 3

The Lord is high above the heavens,

and his glory greater than all kingdoms! 4

Who is like the Lord our God, seated on high, 5

who looks far down on heaven and on earth? 6

He raises the poor from the dust,

and lifts the needy from the ashes, 7

page 1

to make them sit with princes,

with the princes of his people. 8

He gives the barren woman a home,

making her the joyous mother of children.

Hallelujah! 9

Glory be to the Father and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be

world without end. Amen.

Thanksgiving

I thank you, Lord, for your righteousness. I sing of

your name, O Lord, Most High. (Psalm 7:17)

For the Scriptures

For my church life

That our God is exalted above everything

For the blessings of the previous day.

Repentance

Have mercy on me, O God, in your steadfast love.

In your great mercy, blot out my sins.

(Psalm 51:1)

Sins of lust

For thinking less of God than he deserves

Examination of the past 24 hours.

Petition and Intercession

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his

name together! I sought the Lord, and he

answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

(Psalm 34:3-4)

For my extended family

Personal: for more humility

that I may serve in mission

For the members of my church

For the lowly, that God would exalt them

For the Muslim world to know the truth

Pray now for any other concerns you have.

Psalm 134 – He is high above the earth

Come, bless the Lord,

all you servants of the Lord,

who stand by night in the house of the Lord!

Lift your hands to the holy place,

and bless the Lord! 2

May the Lord bless you from Zion,

he who made heaven and earth! 3

Glory be to the Father and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be

world without end. Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy

name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on

earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily

bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we

forgive those who trespass against us. And lead

us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For

thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for

ever and ever. Amen.

Song: Crown Him with Many Crowns

Crown him with many crowns

The Lamb upon his throne

Hark how the heavenly anthem drowns

All music but its own

Awake my soul and sing

Of him who died for thee

And hail him as thy matchless king

Through all eternity

Crown him the Lord of life

Who triumphed o'er the grave

Who rose victorious in the strife

For those he came to save

His glories now we sing

Who died and rose on high

Who died eternal life to bring

And lives that death may die

Crown him the Lord of lords

Who over all doth reign

Who once on earth the Incarnate Word

For ransomed sinners slain

Now lives in realms of light

Where saints with angels sing

Their songs before him day and night

Their God Redeemer King

Crown him the Lord of heav'n

One with the Father known

One with the Spirit given through him

From yonder glorious throne

To thee be endless praise

For thou for us hast died

Be thou O Lord through endless days

Adored and magnified
