Night Prayer
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
Inspiration
In Jesus, we find the light of truth and love. But the world around us is still lost in the darkness of sin and fear. So we spend time in the light, growing in knowledge, trust, and wisdom in order to prepare for the times when we are sent forth into the dark world. In such times, we must cling to the truth that has been revealed to us, even when the light is hard to see.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for inviting me into Your light. By it, You have shown me Your truth and bathed me in the warmth of Your love. Help me to never forget Your light, which sustains me when the darkness of the world surrounds me. Help me to not give in to doubt and fear, instead trusting in Your assurance. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Night Prayer
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Inspiration
We humble ourselves before the Lord when faced with the almighty power He possesses. Death is final to us, yet it has no command over the Maker of the heavens and earth. God has authority over all His creation; we feel small, yet mighty and honored, to be loved by Him. We are grateful that the One who holds the world in the palm of His hand also carries our spirits close to His heart and feels we are worthy to experience eternal life.
Prayer
Dear God, we humble ourselves before You. Thank You for considering us worthy of Your love. We devote our spirits to You and are proud to be Your children. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
