Night Prayer
For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
Inspiration
David had enemies always on the prowl, and he felt cornered on many occasions. He found safety and protection in the Lord, and he continually asked for help while lifting sweet praises to His name. We also praise the Lord for His presence in our times of trouble. Satan is always ready to attack our spirits by bringing hurt and turmoil into our lives. In God, we find peace, comfort, and safety. He protects our hearts with His love and guides our spirit through faith.
Prayer
Dear God, we adore You and thank you for protecting us from vicious attacks. You are always present, a strong refuge in our time of need. 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.
