Morning Prayer
And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Inspiration
The Lord gives us plenty of work to carry out during our earthly lives. We know our effort does not amount to anything if it does not align with His will. As we begin new ministries and witness to non-believers, we will call upon the Holy Spirit for instruction and wisdom. We ask for His blessing and inspiration as we complete tasks He lays before us.
Prayer
Dear Father, We are honored to complete works in Your name. We seek Your Spirit for instruction and guidance as we minister throughout our earthly lives. 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.
