Night Prayer
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Inspiration
God’s love, expressed in the death and resurrection of Jesus is a powerful force. So powerful that nothing in nature can overcome it. So vast that no distance can separate us. Gravity, magnetism, and all of the forces of nature have limits. But the love of God is immeasurable and unending. And it is ours, because we are His.
Prayer
Lord God, I thank You for Your rich and powerful love. It gives me great joy and peace to know that nothing is greater or stronger than Your love. Thank You for making me Yours and for surrounding me with Your love. Whenever I face doubt or fear or worry, please draw me near and remind me of Your awesome love so that I may rest in Your peace. 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.
