Night Prayer
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Inspiration
When we think of heaven, we tend to imagine a place high in the sky. But if we fixate on only what we can see, we may miss the fullness of God’s kingdom, which Jesus has called us to proclaim here and now. So let us turn our eyes forward, trusting Jesus to lead us as we proclaim his kingdom now. For we know that one day our King will return.
Prayer
Father, I know that my eyes can only see so far and that my understanding is limited. Still, You have called me to be an ambassador for Your kingdom. Help me to do my part to grow Your kingdom on earth by living for You and proclaiming Your good news. And teach me to focus on the prize ahead so that I may be ready and alert when You return. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Night Prayer
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
Inspiration
We are no longer bound to sin! Instead, we have chosen to serve a living God, a Heavenly Father who loves us beyond our understanding. When we surrender our will to God, we see the ministry He has designed us to complete. God blesses us with talents and spiritual gifts we use to bring others to know Him. We devote our lives and vow to use our mind, body, and soul to complete work for the Lord.
Prayer
Dear God, we are devoted to You and willingly commit our mind, body, and soul to the works You have laid before us. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
