Night Prayer
I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
Inspiration
An engineer will not overlook small details when designing a structure because minor oversights will compromise its integrity, causing safety to become an issue. We will pray with sincere hearts, leaving out no detail. Our Lord already knows our thoughts and asks that we come to Him honestly, speaking heartfelt words regarding our sin. Honest communication allows us to recognize all sin, ask forgiveness, and seek guidance in removing temptation from our lives.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we come to You with honest hearts. We seek Your will and choose to follow You all the days of our life. 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.
