Morning Prayer
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Inspiration
Patience is a precious virtue we all desire. We grow anxious about the outcome of numerous situations, wanting answers or results right now. Our earthly journey is exciting, and we often ponder the purpose of our lives. What is God's purpose for our lives? What are we meant to achieve in His name? There is no need to become concerned if we haven't figured that out yet. God's plan is perfect, and His timing is essential to make all things work for good. Let us remember that we can rest assured the answer or result we are waiting for will come in good time because it will be God's time.
Prayer
Dear God, We grow impatient when we wait for answers or results over concerns we bring to You. Forgive us for our anxiety and help us find comfort knowing Your timing is always perfect. 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.
