Morning Prayer
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Inspiration
God extends unearned grace to us consistently. We hold our heads high as we attempt to live a Christian lifestyle, forsaking the sinful nature we despise. Unfortunately, we stumble daily. We covet others' belongings as we scroll through social media, and we allow bitterness a stronghold when we don't get our way. We must strip away our egos and bare our souls to the Lord with honesty and humility. He will continue to grant grace when we repent with genuine hearts.
Prayer
Dear God, We do not deserve forgiveness. We come to You and ask forgiveness with humble hearts this day. 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.
