Night Prayer 

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

Inspiration 

When we ask for instructions and advice, we do so with the intent of following them. But when we hear Jesus’ teaching and fail to do it, we are like someone who tossed away the directions we’ve been given. And just like the house built on sandy land, we find that when we build up our lives without following Jesus’ direction, our structures will ultimately collapse.

Prayer 

Lord, You have given me Your word, Your example, and Your Spirit. You have made Your truth and Your instructions abundant and clear. Teach me to rely on all that You say and all that You teach so that everything I build may be built according to Your plans and by Your power. In Jesus’ name, amen.
