Morning Prayer
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Inspiration
We are strong and have no fear of hardships that develop in our lives. Having faith in the Lord and His will allows us to have hope, and hope gives us the strength to power through our struggles. God will be present and save us! We may not understand His plan of action, and we usually become impatient with His timing, yet, we know His way is the best.
Prayer
Dear God, we are fearless when hardships are on the horizon because we feel Your presence in our lives. Your love is everlasting, and we praise You for always looking out for us. 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.
