Night Prayer
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Inspiration
When faced with the opportunity to tell a stranger about Jesus, what will we say? Word selection is crucial, and we fear leaving something important out. We often freeze up in moments we could be sharing the Gospel. We can be confident in our words because God grants salvation to everyone, and He wants every heart to have the choice to follow Him. Knowing this, we call upon His Spirit, and He gives us all the words necessary. We will not be concerned about how to spread the Word because God will help us every step of the way.
Prayer
Dearest Heavenly Father, we call upon Your Spirit for the words to share Your promise of salvation in any given moment. 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.
