Night Prayer
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Inspiration
Most of us pray for patience in trying situations. But we would prefer to not have to use patience at all. We’d prefer that God provide a quick solution and move us along to something better. But patience and perseverance are valuable tools that God uses to shape us and grow us into a maturity of faith that we could never achieve if He always answered us with a quick fix.
Prayer
Lord, sometimes I find myself struggling to endure the trials and difficulties of life. I call out to You for an answer, but You ask me to endure. Lord, I do not want to waste this time of waiting. Please use this season to deepen my trust in You as You grow my faith and prepare me for even greater works ahead. 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.
