Morning Prayer
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Inspiration
When we walk in obedience to God, there is a special peace of God that accompanies us. No believer can be undisturbed while walking in disobedience to God. Only when we "trust and obey" can we be truly happy in Jesus Christ.
Prayer
O Giver of true peace, the world seeks peace in their false religions, in the pleasures of this life, in the gratifying of their every desire, however sinful. We know the source of real peace. It comes from you. Help us to walk in your paths, and show us that they are indeed paths of peace. 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.
