Morning Prayer
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Inspiration
God is loving, faithful, and kind. As we glance over our past, we see His guidance and comfort. He is the only thing we need to survive in this world, and He continually makes Himself available for shelter and restoration. He tells us we do not have to worry about tomorrow, and we trust His word because He is compassionate and dependable. Each day, we rise and face the world knowing He is present and prepared to guide us to safety every passing moment.
Prayer
Dear God, We need You every hour and trust that You are always present to guide and instruct us every passing moment. 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.
