Night Prayer
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Inspiration
We’re all human. Descendants of Adam, made from the same template as all other humans. And through Adam, God’s image in us became tarnished by sin. But through Jesus, His image in us will be perfected. What hope we have because He has been raised! Someday, we too will be raised, forever freed from the bodies of sin, pain, and death.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for saving me, for giving me hope, and for working in me. Even as I live in this body, with its aches and imperfections, I know that You have promised so much more. Lord, help me to live each day looking forward to the hope that I will one day be fully free from sin and suffering, perfected in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Night Prayer
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Inspiration
We humble ourselves before the Lord when faced with the almighty power He possesses. Death is final to us, yet it has no command over the Maker of the heavens and earth. God has authority over all His creation; we feel small, yet mighty and honored, to be loved by Him. We are grateful that the One who holds the world in the palm of His hand also carries our spirits close to His heart and feels we are worthy to experience eternal life.
Prayer
Dear God, we humble ourselves before You. Thank You for considering us worthy of Your love. We devote our spirits to You and are proud to be Your children. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
