Morning Prayer
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
Inspiration
Lions are icons of strength. Yet even a lion, if he is unable to hunt, will grow weak and helpless in due time. Those who trust in the Lord, however, need not hunt, and need not go hungry. God promises to supply our needs and strengthen us each day. He may not shower us with excess, and we may not know today how He will provide for tomorrow, but we can always trust in His faithful promise.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for Your care. Thank You for watching over my life and supplying all of my needs. As I trust in You, please guard my heart against selfish desires of excess and indulgence. For in You, I always have enough. Teach me to trust You more so that Your strength may be the strength of my life. 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.
