Night Prayer
And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Inspiration
Anger is a normal and unavoidable human emotion. We all become angry at one time or another. Our anger is often stirred up when we witness mistreatment of our friends or unfair outcomes in the lives of loved ones. It’s inevitable that we will become angry when people hurt, but we cannot allow anger to control our actions and lead us to sin. Instead of being quick to anger, let us turn our anger over to the Lord.
Prayer
Father, Anger is a dangerous emotion if allowed to get out of hand. We ask for guidance as we turn our feelings of hurt and anger over to you this day. 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.
