Morning Prayer
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
Inspiration
Our lives overflow with struggles and hardships. It often feels we are stuck with no way to escape. We are overwhelmed with bills, busy schedules, and broken relationships, yet, we maintain hopeful hearts. We know that struggles develop character, and our faith grows stronger when we lean upon the Lord for comfort and guidance. We will not allow our challenges to cause anxiety because we know the Lord is always present in our time of need.
Prayer
Dear Lord, We feel overwhelmed with the busyness of our lives. We have hope in Your plan for our lives and continue to trust 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.
