Night Prayer
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Inspiration
Children are a precious gift from God; they bring joy and laughter to our daily lives. He places each child in the path of those who will nurture their spirits. Be it parents, leaders, or teachers. We have an enormous responsibility to sew seeds of wisdom, and we watch them spring to life and mature into a beautiful relationship with our Lord.
Prayer
Dear God, we love our children. Teach us how to plant seeds of wisdom to nurture their faith in You. We will guard their hearts guide them to live according to Your will. 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.
