Night Prayer
Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
Inspiration
Satan is compared to a lion, always on the prowl, ready for the first opportunity to attack his prey. Unfortunately, we fall victim to his tricks and become trapped under his paw. Sin snags us like fish in a net, making it difficult to get out of situations in which we’ve become ensnared. When we call upon the Lord, He strengthens our faith, and we can overcome our struggles.
Prayer
Dear God, without You, we would be eternally trapped in our sin. We call upon You this day to lift us out of the net in which our sins have trapped us. We are thankful for Your love and steady presence in our lives. 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.
