Night Prayer
Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me.
Inspiration
We call out to the Lord in moments of weakness and despair! We know He is always present and listening; His heart breaks when we feel shattered and broken. God was there before we asked for help and knew what we needed before we did. He is dependable and will never forsake us at any point in time. We rejoice in gladness, lifting praises to Him name; He has always been an awesome God.
Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for always being present whether we call out to You or not. You know what we need before we ask; thank You for never forsaking us in moments of despair. 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.
