Night Prayer 

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Inspiration 

It is only when we are emptied that we understand our need to be filled. It is only when we are broken that we seek to be made whole. And when we realize that we are poor in spirit, completely lacking, and helpless, we realize our need for a savior. And Jesus responds to our impoverished spirits by filling us with His Spirit and making us whole, as He calls us from the brokenness of this world to the fullness of eternal life.

Prayer 

Lord, thank You for helping me see my own helplessness. I was lost without You and didn’t even realize it. But You not only opened my eyes to see my lack, but You gave me Your very self to fill me, restore me, and set me on a new path. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
