Morning Prayer
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
Inspiration
As Christians, we all strive to live lives that reflect Jesus’ presence in us. But what does that actually look like in practice? It is the life of one who treats others with compassion, who is not boisterous or meddlesome, and who is diligent and faithful in all things. When we allow Jesus to shine through us in this way, people see Him, admire Him, and want to know Him more because of the good that He has done in us.
Prayer
Lord, as Your Spirit fills me, shapes me, and guides me, I pray that You would lead me in compassion and diligence. Grant me the wisdom to use my words carefully and constructively, and the perseverance to serve You faithfully. I pray that Your glory would be revealed in me and that others would see You and know You, too. 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.
