Morning Prayer
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Inspiration
God is good and that will never change. It is who He is and it is who He will always be. Time and time again we are reminded in the Bible, God's Word, that his mercy is everlasting - it will never expire. It will never forsake us. God's mercy is there for us every single day. It is because of God's mercy, we have the confidence in Him that we have. God's word will always reign supreme for an eternity to come. Every day we are shown more and more of the depths of God's love, wisdom and mercy.
Prayer
Dear God, I thank you for every single day that I get to know more and more of you. Lord I find myself overwhelmed when I try to comprehend the depths of your love and grace. You are an amazing God and I am grateful to have you as my Father. 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.
