Night Prayer
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
Inspiration
We often find ourselves mired in daily struggles. We become bogged down with anxiety, stress and depression. We feel as though we are sinking deeper into a dark pit and find it difficult to get out. God is our redeemer! When we call upon Him, He comes to our rescue by lifting our burdens, placing our feet back on track and nudging us to walk in the right direction.
Prayer
Oh God, you are our refuge in times of darkness. We are thankful for your faithfulness and desire to love us unconditionally. 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.
