Night Prayer
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
Inspiration
Often it is too easy to want what others have. Particularly when we see others who have built up wealth, comfort, and prestige through dishonest actions that have hurt others. God warns us to set aside such envy. When we covet the things that are attained by evil means, we open ourselves up to the temptation to follow their ways.
Prayer
Father God, protect my heart from all envy and jealousy. Teach me to not dwell on the riches and comforts of evil men. Turn my attention to the riches of Your kingdom so that I may dwell on heavenly things. Help me to remember how richly blessed I am because of knowing You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Night Prayer
Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
Inspiration
We lack confidence when it comes to sharing the Good News. We are concerned we won't say the right words or become afraid of rejection. We must remember that God makes all things possible. We only need to lean on the Holy Spirit for guidance, and He will direct our path toward opportunities to minister to the world. He will create within us the ability to invite others to discover the way to salvation.
Prayer
Dear God, Please encourage us to be confident about sharing the Good News with those around us. Help us remember, You are present in every moment and will give us strength to follow through with our witness. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
