Night Prayer
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
Inspiration
Every blessing is a gift from God; they are His to give or take away. After Job lost everything, he fell to the ground and praised God. He was thankful for all he had and everything lost; he loved God with a genuine heart. We love God with sincere spirits and praise Him for every blessing He has given us. Our relationship is the most precious gift of all, and we faithfully lift our voices to praise with happy hearts.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we are thankful for all we have and all that is to come. We will continually lift praises of appreciation. 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.
