Morning Prayer
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
Inspiration
The best way to make sure that your plans work out, is when they are approved by God. When you come up with ideas, check to see that they are in line with God's word. When you pray, talk to him about the plans. You will know that God has approved your plans when you sense peace about them.
Prayer
Dear God, I commit all my plans into your hands. Father, may you show me the plans that are not of you and may you guide me in the direction of the plans that you do approve. I know that operating in your approval will ensure success in my plans. In Jesus' name, I pray. 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.
