Night Prayer
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Inspiration
When we live in God’s truth, we bring His light to all of the dark places that surround us. Light that opens eyes and warms hearts. The light of His grace in our lives provides a beacon of hope for those lost in the darkness. The light of His love is a warm glow to the lonely and hurting people in our midst. So let’s live in the light so that God’s goodness can be seen in all that we do.
Prayer
Father, You have brought me out of the darkness and into the light of Your truth. Empower me to walk in Your light, that I may take it with me everywhere I go. I surrender my life to You, so that You may shine ever brighter through my actions and words. 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.
