Night Prayer
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Inspiration
It’s scary to watch evil prosper in the world today. Often, we watch world events and feel overwhelmed and powerless because there is nothing we can do. There is something we can do. We can pray to our Father and find rest and comfort in the knowledge that all things occur as part of His plan. He is actively abolishing evil in the world. Let us rest our worried minds in the comfort of His mighty hands.
Prayer
Dear Father, we feel powerless against the evil in the world today. Help us rest in the comfort of Your loving arms. We have faith in Your plan. 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.
