Morning Prayer
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
Inspiration
We have all had our day interrupted by a life-changing event. Our phone rings with the news of an ill loved one or the announcement of a lost job, making our plan for the moment, the day, or the rest of our life no longer meaningful. When everything changes, God stays the same, so we turn to Him with faithful hearts for guidance and comfort. The Lord is never weary, impatient, or out of time. He loves us beyond our understanding and shields us with His everlasting arms.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, You are everlasting. Our existence was void until Your breathed life into our bodies, and we thank You for Your love and devotion. 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.
