Night Prayer
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Inspiration
Nowadays, the last part of this verse is so popular that we interpret it as since God is with me, then all things are possible for me. Actually, God does not guarantee that we will succeed in every venture. Humanity is completely unable to achieve salvation through personal effort—only God can save, because of God’s omnipotence—his absolute power to what he pleases.
Prayer
Lord, I thank you for your mighty power, I thank you because your power is unlimited, and there is nothing impossible for you to do, it is by your power that I’m alive today. I rest on this power today, please let your power provide solutions to all my difficulties. Everything that I have been finding impossible to accomplish, by your power that knows no impossibility. Help me to accomplish them. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Devotion
Do you feel special?
David Jacobs
What a tremendous gift we have all been given! God almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, sent his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to live amongst us, from the humblest of beginnings, so that He could understand us: to live, breathe, speak, see, touch, and die like us! How often do you consider this? In these verses, Simeon, a righteous and devout man, was worshipping in the temple. Simeon could not have been aware of the birth of Christ; Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple and the Holy Spirit had already visited it. Upon seeing the baby boy, Simeon immediately realizes what he is witnessing: humanity's salvation.
Simeon did not know about this before – how could he? In that moment, however, he knew that he was special. He knew that what he was witnessing was a miracle, one that would change the entire world. He was chosen by the Holy Spirit because he was a good man; he was chosen because God knew he would understand; he was chosen...
Morning Prayer
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
Inspiration
We have friends who stand with us through the good times and bad, while others only stick around for happy moments. These acquaintances know us on the surface, and we have no desire to share the worst parts of ourselves with them because we are ashamed or embarrassed. Jesus is the best friend we have. He has been present during each hardship and knows every dark thought that's crossed our minds. We can be confident when we lean upon Him; He will listen to our concerns with grace and guide us to overcome our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, we do not open up to everyone because we are ashamed of our feelings and actions. You understand our hearts and extend forgiveness. We are grateful for Your everlasting love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
