Morning Prayer
And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
Inspiration
God said ‘I Am that I Am.’ What a powerful name! For only God exists in and of Himself. Of course, we exist, too. But we were created, existing only because God willed it so. But existence is inherent in God’s nature. He has no beginning and no end. He was, and is, and will always be. And when we meditate on the name ‘I Am,’ we are reminded of just how magnificent our God is!
Prayer
God, You are the great I Am. There was none before You, and there will be none after You. You are the Alpha and Omega. I praise You for Your infinite power, and I thank You for creating me. Thank You for making a way for me to experience eternity with You in Your kingdom without end. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Night Prayer
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Inspiration
We despise the thought of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. The outside is easy to clean; it's the caked-up residue on the inside that's so difficult to remove. Jesus compares the scribes and Pharisees with dishes that have been wiped clean on the outside while dirty inside. The Pharisees took exceptional care of their outward appearance and neglected their inward spirits. We are guilty of allowing our hearts to be left filthy as well. We look and act as we should while our souls are full of darkness. We must continue to converse with the Holy Spirit daily and trust His guidance to cleanse our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, Please forgive our sinful nature. We yearn for cleansing from within, so we are genuine witnesses to Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
