Night Prayer
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
Inspiration
God is all-powerful, all-present, and all-knowing. We feel safe in His arms and are amazed by the beauty of nature. He tells the sun when to rise and when to set. He tells the seasons when it’s time to change and controls weathers patterns across the world. We stare in awe at the twinkling stars He placed in the evening sky. We are thankful for the bountiful earth He commissioned us to nurture and remain humbled by His power to create it. We will genuinely respect and admire His beautiful world.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we are thankful for the beauty of the world You have gifted us, and we will make it a priority to nurture and respect Your creation. 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.
