Morning Prayer
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
Inspiration
We are too comfortable with our Christian lifestyle as we schedule time for church and Bible Study. Our calendar is precise, leaving no room for interruption. The priest and Levite passed by the injured man and didn't stop to help. They may have thought he was already dead or did not want to get involved; perhaps, they were too busy. Sometimes we are too busy! We have our day planned to the minute and 'schedule' time with God at church or other settings. We must remember, God calls us to minister to the wounded first. Earthly business can wait when the Lord calls us to meet with someone in need.
Prayer
Dear Lord, We are overwhelmed with daily activities and overlook the needs of others. Help us see the injured and make time to help them heal. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Night Prayer
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Inspiration
We humble ourselves before the Lord when faced with the almighty power He possesses. Death is final to us, yet it has no command over the Maker of the heavens and earth. God has authority over all His creation; we feel small, yet mighty and honored, to be loved by Him. We are grateful that the One who holds the world in the palm of His hand also carries our spirits close to His heart and feels we are worthy to experience eternal life.
Prayer
Dear God, we humble ourselves before You. Thank You for considering us worthy of Your love. We devote our spirits to You and are proud to be Your children. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
