Night Prayer
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Inspiration
Among many characteristics, our God is good-natured, kindhearted, and courteous. God does not barge into our lives, forcing us to love Him; He allows us to make that decision on our own. When we decide to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior by inviting Him into our hearts, The Holy Spirit fills us. We only need to knock, and the door will open. We are blessed to have the mercy of the Lord.
Prayer
Dear God, we invite You into our hearts and are eager to pursue a strong relationship with You. 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.
