Night Prayer
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
Inspiration
How high are the heavens? We measure the distance of stars in light-years, distances far too great for us to travel. Our sin places righteousness out of our reach, at an impossibly far distance. But just as God has brought the light of unreachable stars to our eyes, His mercy toward us spans the impossible distance to bring righteousness to our lives.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for Your great and unending mercy. Without You, I am lost in my sin and helpless to reach You. But You have bridged the vast chasm and, by You mercy, brought me to Yourself. For that, I praise You and worship 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.
