Morning Prayer
The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
Inspiration
Our hardships are numerous as we walk this imperfect earth. We have hope amid our darkest obstacles as God strengthens our faith and character. We set our sights on eternity, not the challenges we face in our earthly lives; each day brings us closer to eternal life with Him. Let us share our hope with those around us by demonstrating God's love as we teach them about God's promise of salvation.
Prayer
Dear God, We have found peace, hope, and happiness in You. Teach us to share our knowledge; so everyone has the opportunity to hear about Your promise of salvation. 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.
