Night Prayer
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
Inspiration
God has prepared work for all of us to do. But even as we do His work, He works alongside us and within us. For as we do His work, He brings forth a harvest as a field would produce. As we faithfully carry out our purposes, He builds us up into a structure that reveals His glory as it stands as a beacon of hope to others.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for calling me to do Your work. Equip me to do all that You have called me to do so that as You work through me, You may use me to produce fruit, to reach others, and to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ. Please work all of these things in me and through me for Your glory. 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.
