Night Prayer
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Inspiration
From our earliest days, our parents are our primary source of wisdom. Their guidance and rules during our childhood kept us safe from everything from choking to strange dogs to traffic. No matter what our experiences since then, we see value in that foundational wisdom, which informs our desire to seek the wisdom of our Heavenly Father in adulthood.
Prayer
Father God, sometimes I take Your wisdom for granted. But as I look back on my life, I cherish Your boundaries and instructions with gratitude. Then, You protected me through my parents. Now, I ask that You would grow me in wisdom by Your Spirit and Your word, so that I may continue to live faithfully for 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.
