Night Prayer
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Inspiration
We know we fall short of the glory of God. We are all sinners and make dark decisions that lead us to sin. God offers salvation to all who repent and renounce their wicked ways. He loves those difficult to love; He is patient with the restless; He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present; thus, making Him perfectly merciful and just. We are thankful to be loved by our loving God; He accepts everyone who chooses to follow Him.
Prayer
Dear Lord, Teach us to look for opportunities to witness. You extend salvation to everyone, and we want to show the world the hope they can have in life with You. In Jesus's 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.
