Night Prayer
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
Inspiration
We become weary as we journey through this broken world and sometimes feel as though there is no safe place to land. Fortunately, God has blessed us with spiritual friends and family to take us in when we need shelter. We comfort one another in times of sorrow and sing praises to the Lord in times of joy. We even provide one another discipline when required. God has taken care of our every need, and we must make sure we are providing for our friends and family as well.
Prayer
Dear Lord, Thank you for blessing us with precious friends and family. Help us to meet their needs when they arise. 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.
