Morning Prayer
O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
Inspiration
We are not frightened or panicked by the presence of God; we cheerfully submit our lives to Him and worship Him with honor and reverence. We walk with Christ and find peace when faced with turmoil and light amid the darkness. We are not restless because He is faithful. He listens to all our concerns and guides us toward the path of righteousness. He meets all our needs before we have them; we are grateful for His devotion.
Prayer
Dear God, You have provided us with a peace that passes all understanding; we honor You with gratitude and respect. 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.
