Morning Prayer
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Inspiration
Trials and tribulations are inevitable in this life on earth. For as long as the enemy is around, he will try to weigh us down and wary us with many problems. There will be times where we will physically and emotionally feel like we cannot go on. God will give us strength and refresh us throughout the way. He will hold our hand and be with us, no matter what we face.
Prayer
Dear God, I thank you that even when everything around me has failed me, you will never fail me. Father, in troubling times I ask that you strengthen me and give me the resolve I need to endure. I know that this tough time will pass and all will be well. 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.
