Night Prayer
The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.
Inspiration
Strange as it may seem, it takes a little wisdom to see our need for wisdom. Sometimes, we are so blinded by our own foolishness that we can’t even see it, instead blaming God for our failures and shortcomings. But when we recognize our folly, our eyes open to the truth that God is our solution, not our problem.
Prayer
Lord, I come before You knowing that I have made mistakes. My short-sighted and selfish choices have brought me strife, yet in my foolishness, I’ve blamed You. Give me eyes to see my error, and give me a measure of Your wisdom so that I may not only overcome my own foolishness but so that I can see You more clearly too. In Jesus’ name, amen.

With the media telling us that anything that feels good must be good, whether doing so breaks another commandment or not, pleasure has become a god. I could go on, but you get the picture. Have you made anything or anyone a god in your ...
Morning Prayer
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Inspiration
Every single part of us should be dedicated to godliness and righteousness. We should never let any of our thoughts, gifts, or talents profit the enemy and his kingdom of darkness. From the job that you work in to the workouts you do, make sure that they give glory to God.
Prayer
Dear God, I commit all my thoughts, gifts, talents, and activities into your hands. Lord, may you show me the ones that do not bring glory to your name and may you help me only do the ones that reflect you in your true light. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
