Morning Prayer
The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Inspiration
God knows our hearts and carefully listens as we cry out to Him in times of trouble. Daily stresses mount as we move through our routine, yet, we find comfort in our moment-by-moment conversations with our Heavenly Father. How many times a day do we pray? It's impossible to number the moments we seek His guidance and comfort as we engage in continuous conversation with Him. He knows us by name and understands our struggles. He is always present and willing to instruct our daily steps.
Prayer
Dearest Heavenly Father, We find comfort in our daily conversations. You are present in our lives every moment and reassure us with Your steadfast love. 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.
