Night Prayer
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
Inspiration
It’s easy to become conformed to this world. We are desensitized to sinful lifestyles consistently through entertainment outlets and social media on a daily basis. When we accept Christ, we are to surrender our spirits to the Lord. We seek to align our lives according to His will and not the desire of the world around us. Conforming to the world brings turmoil and misery, committing our spirit to the Lord results in peace and happiness.
Prayer
Dear God, we choose not to be conformed to this world and will surrender our spirits to You. It is our desire to make our lives parallel to Your will. 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.
