Morning Prayer
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Inspiration
The world is beautiful, and we look to the heavens with humble hearts knowing the one who created it all loves us. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present, yet, His love is most valuable to us. Despite our sinful nature, He offers us salvation. We respect His authority and bask in His almighty love; we are honored to devote our lives to the will of God.
Prayer
Dear Lord, You have created a beautiful world, and we admire Your omnipotence. We ask for forgiveness with honest hearts and devote our lives 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.
