Morning Prayer
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Inspiration
We lose our footing as massive waves of life knock us down. Thankfully, God has the power to calm the restless sea and restore peace and steady ground. He sees rough water on the horizon before we do and prepares our hearts for future disturbances. We turn to Him for guidance, instruction, and wisdom as we encounter challenges in our everyday lives. We are proud to serve a loving, devoted Heavenly Father who loves us deeply.
Prayer
Dear Father, Your love has no boundaries, and we are thankful for Your presence. When we have difficulty standing, You will always restore our spirits. We are grateful for Your never-ending love and devotion. 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.
