Night Prayer
Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
Inspiration
Jesus sits on the beach preparing breakfast for the disciples as they finish a tiring night of fishing. He is the perfect example of how friends should treat one another. Jesus comforts us in times of sadness, celebrates with us in moments of joy, and calms our hearts when we are frightened. He is our light and our salvation, our precious Savior and friend. We will reflect His love in the way we care for our friends.
Prayer
Dear God, we are thankful for the friends You have given us and honored to care for them as Jesus cares 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.
