Night Prayer
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
Inspiration
We strive to praise God every day! Praising the Lord during our trials strengthens our faith! God is there to protect us, and fight for us. He renews our spirit enabling us to endure our hardships. When we praise God during rough times, we begin to see all He’s blessed us with, thus making our trial seem smaller. We will continue to lift our hands and rejoice in the love of our Maker.
Prayer
Dear God, You are our strength and refuge in times of turmoil. We are thankful for Your love and faithfulness. 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.
