Morning Prayer
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Inspiration
We are loved by God and, as His children, we have been called according to a purpose that He has set for our lives. Knowing this, we know that in all things, everything will always work out. Be it in life or be it in death, victory always belongs to us because we are in Christ. There is no person, no force, spirit or power, that will ever be able to change what God has set to be so.
Prayer
Dear God, I thank you for the confidence that I have in you, knowing that all things will work out because I am a child of God. I thank you Lord that to live means I am given more opportunities to spread the gospel, and to die is gain as well because it simply means I am returning to you. Knowing this, I am confident in all things because I know that, as your beloved, things will always work out to the glory of your name. 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.
