Night Prayer
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
Inspiration
The human body is incredible; it manufactures millions of new cells within the minute, and our hearts will beat over a billion times in our life span! We are alike, yet our physique is quite different across the globe; the human species is beautiful due to the assortment of skin, hair, and eye color worldwide! We are humbled and amazed that God came down from heaven to breathe the breath of life into our lungs; we are a masterpiece and choose to enjoy the life God has given to each of us.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we are fascinated by all Your creation! Our bodies are Your masterpiece, and we will respect the precious life You breathed into our lungs. 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.
