Morning Prayer
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Inspiration
We run from sin because we want nothing to do with it. We strive to grow closer to God, and sin separates us from Him. We wake up each day and decide to change our sinful lifestyle by making no exceptions and doing everything possible to avoid temptations. We live in Christ, not sin, and we will not intentionally sin, thinking we can ask for forgiveness later. Sin is a heavy burden that we take seriously, and we will do everything possible to abolish it.
Prayer
Dear God, Please steady our feet so we may run far away from sin! We want to be closer to You and abolish our sinful nature. 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.
