Night Prayer
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Inspiration
Without God, we have no salvation, no restoration, and no way to be made whole. Our spirits are fractured, our hearts are diseased by the sins of pride and selfishness. In God alone is our salvation secure. In God alone is our healing complete. When He restores us, we can know with confidence that we have been healed and saved.
Prayer
Thank You, Lord, for taking my broken heart and making it whole. Thank You for bringing life to my lifeless spirit, and repairing Your image in me. Help me to live as one who has been made new, saved and healed by the hands that made all things. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Night Prayer
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Inspiration
We despise the thought of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. The outside is easy to clean; it's the caked-up residue on the inside that's so difficult to remove. Jesus compares the scribes and Pharisees with dishes that have been wiped clean on the outside while dirty inside. The Pharisees took exceptional care of their outward appearance and neglected their inward spirits. We are guilty of allowing our hearts to be left filthy as well. We look and act as we should while our souls are full of darkness. We must continue to converse with the Holy Spirit daily and trust His guidance to cleanse our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, Please forgive our sinful nature. We yearn for cleansing from within, so we are genuine witnesses to Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
