Night Prayer 

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Inspiration 

Sometimes we compare ourselves to others to make ourselves feel better. We reason that as long as we’re not as bad as murderers, thieves, and child abusers, we’re basically ok. But God reminds us that all of us are a complete mess, subject to ruin, without His grace. Instead of looking to others to feel righteous, we must look to God to be made righteous.

Prayer 

Lord, I come before You acknowledging that I am a sinner in need of redemption. The truth of Your righteousness reveals how unclean I am. But I desire to be made clean, and I know that only You can do that for me. So, Lord, I ask that wash away the filthy rags of my unrighteousness and clothe me in the new garments by Your grace. In Jesus’ name, amen.
