Morning Prayer
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
Inspiration
Fearing the Lord leads to wisdom and understanding. When we come to Him with reverent, genuine hearts, He gifts us the knowledge we need to make decisions according to His will. We are in awe of His power and seek to grow closer to Him by aligning our spirits with His. We surrender our lives to His direction and yearn to share His love with all everyone we meet. Our respect for His plan allows our eyes to see opportunities where we can bring many to know Him as we do.
Prayer
Dear Lord, We adore You and seek to lead our lives with wisdom so we may bring others to know You. Please direct our thoughts and actions as we continue to share the Gospel. 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.
