Night Prayer
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Inspiration
The human body is amazing. We are alike, yet so different. There is great diversity in our hair, skin and eye color across the world. We differ in what we like to eat, smell, or feel. The human body is so intricate regarding the way it reacts to heat, cold or other elements. God created a perfect body, but we live in imperfect conditions. We are exposed to dangerous elements that can cause great harm. We must treat our bodies as a temple, taking great effort to care for ourselves physically and spiritually.
Prayer
Dear Lord, please help us see that our body is a temple. You have created within us unique spiritual and physical qualities that require our attention. We will improve our choices to protect the body You have created for us. 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.
