Morning Prayer
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Inspiration
Share with all those who wish to rejoice in the God Almighty. It comes with the territory; accept and give thanks to the Lord, and be granted everlasting loving mercy. Give thanks to the Lord, and enter into his Kingdom!
Prayer
Lord God, unworthy as I am, grant me mercy upon earth as in your Heavenly Kingdom. Hear my song of praise to thee, of your goodness and your majesty. Rejoice in your name, your goodness and your grace. Lord God, as wretched a sinner as I am, I give thanks to thee, for showing me the divine light and mercy. Father above, I rejoice. I rejoice in Jesus' name. 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.
