Night Prayer
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
Inspiration
Silver, gold, and other glittery materials are meaningless compared to the love and friendship of Jesus Christ as He laid down His life to wash away our sins for good. There is power in Jesus' name. When paralyzed by sin, we call out to Him for the strength to rise and walk again. We will continue to mature and grow in our relationship with the Lord because it is a relationship more precious than anything else.
Prayer
Dear Father, we come this day asking forgiveness of our sin as we seek to know you more. 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.
