Night Prayer
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Inspiration
We never abandon our friends. It’s difficult to be present when a friend is experiencing an exceptionally difficult hardship. Sometimes their sadness brings us down and we are tempted to separate ourselves from the situation. We are commissioned to be loyal friends, never leaving a loved one’s side when times are tough. The Holy Spirit is faithful and will guide through moments that seem too difficult to withstand
Prayer
Dear Lord, Help us to remain loyal to our beloved friends no matter the circumstance. Our spiritual friends are a precious gift. We will love and comfort them always. 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.
