Night Prayer
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Inspiration
Hardships come to us in many forms throughout our lives. We experience financial woes, death of our loved ones, and health concerns. We often become weighed down by fear, anger, depression or sadness. God is our refuge in times of trouble. He carries our burden with us, and he builds us up so that we are not shaken by our misfortunes. God is loyal and loves us unconditionally.
Prayer
Dear Father, we seek refuge in your arms. Thank you for helping us carry our earthy burdens and never allowing us to be shaken by our fears. 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.
