Morning Prayer
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Inspiration
We need more than food and water to sustain life; we need each other. God blesses us with friends and family who share close relationships with us. When we need a shoulder to cry on or a friendly face to help us celebrate, they are there. When we need spiritual guidance or assistance in recovery, they are always near. God provides for us in ways we can't understand, and we are incredibly thankful for such a loving Heavenly Father.
Prayer
Dear Father, You know all our needs. We are thankful for our friends and family who You have chosen to provide peace, comfort, and joy when we need it most. 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.
