Night Prayer
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Inspiration
We are filled with joy when we see children sharing toys. The only reward they see is a new friend and a fun afternoon on the playground. They are not looking around to see who is watching; they focus only on their joyful interaction with the other child. As Christians, we must give and do good works in the name of the Lord with a childlike heart, a genuine heart that only wants to bring joy and happiness to those we serve.
Prayer
Dear God, please humble our hearts and help us focus on serving others with joy and happiness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Night Prayer
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Inspiration
We humble ourselves before the Lord when faced with the almighty power He possesses. Death is final to us, yet it has no command over the Maker of the heavens and earth. God has authority over all His creation; we feel small, yet mighty and honored, to be loved by Him. We are grateful that the One who holds the world in the palm of His hand also carries our spirits close to His heart and feels we are worthy to experience eternal life.
Prayer
Dear God, we humble ourselves before You. Thank You for considering us worthy of Your love. We devote our spirits to You and are proud to be Your children. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
