Night Prayer
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Inspiration
This imperfect world hands us many struggles and hardships that leave us feeling empty and broken. Satan is always plotting and chooses these moments of weakness to steal our peace or destroy our happiness. God sent Jesus to be our salvation, hope, and righteous light in the world of darkness. We have faith in God’s desire to reassure us when we struggle and grant us strength in moments of weakness.
Prayer
Dear God, we thank You for Jesus! He is our light in dark struggles and helps us maintain our strength when Satan plots against us. You are our fortress, and we are always safe in the arms of Your steadfast love. 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.
