Night Prayer
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Inspiration
When driving, we tend to use the main highways as much as possible. Those roads are big, they’re designed to accommodate a lot of traffic, and they lead to popular destinations. But our spiritual journeys are different. It is the narrow gate, Jesus himself, that leads to eternal rest. No other road, no matter how well-traveled, will get us there. The ways and ideas of this world may be popular, but they don’t lead to a good destination.
Prayer
Father, thank You for sending Jesus to not only show me the way to You, but to be the way. Help me to listen to his leading so that I may follow him, staying on the narrow path that leads to salvation. Even if the people around me don’t understand, and choose to go another way, guide me so that I may not stray from You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Night Prayer
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
Inspiration
Do you ever think that being a Christian would be easier if Jesus were living among us, the way He did with His disciples? Well, not according to Jesus. Why? Because after Jesus, came the sustaining and transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Just as Jesus walk as God with us, the Holy Spirit comes to us and God in us. Instead of just witnessing the power of God, we have the blessed joy of living in that power as He works through us.
Prayer
Thank You, Lord, for the saving grace that You imparted on me through Jesus. And thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Help me to know more of Your power, so that the Spirit may do great things in my life for the glory of Your name and the sake of Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, amen.
