Night Prayer 

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

Inspiration 

The earth is corrupt and full of temptation. The desire for riches, fame, and an extravagant lifestyle is common for most people. Christians see something more important than earthly things as our focus is on the Lord; He is our treasure, safe refuge, and precious friend. Nothing compares to His steadfast love and the peace we have in His presence. We will make it a priority to share the Gospel with everyone so they too can see the value of life with God.

Prayer 

Dear Lord, You are more precious than silver and gold. Show us opportunities to guide others to You; we want them to experience salvation along with us. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

I Have Heard Their Cry

Frances Taylor 

God hears us. He hears the cries of his people when they are being oppressed. In this case, the people of Israel were being oppressed by the Egyptians and God had placed Moses in a position to help them be free. God hears his people cry today. There is oppression in some countries of Christians and also of the Jews. God never abandoned his chosen people, and he doesn't abandon those who have chosen to follow his Son, Jesus. Sometimes oppression occurs in the workplace or neighborhoods as well. Men and women can be oppressed because of religious beliefs, for race, for language, for country of origin, for economic status, or for gender. While I was still in college a friend got a job teaching in an inner city school. Because the children were mostly from poor families and minorities, the budget for supplies was not the same as that for schools in better neighborhoods. People got together and demanded equality. It took time, but God guided them ...

Morning Prayer 

The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

Inspiration 

Without notice, perhaps unaware, we may never know what our Lord may have in store for us. He may like Moses, call upon us at any moment to do his bidding, or to prove our devotion. We should therefore always be ready, as a hunter lies in wait. Many might sympathize with the feeling common in today's society of either waiting for or expecting a phone call. That is, in essence, how our heart might be poised, waiting on and longing for the command of the Lord.

Prayer 

O Lord my shepherd, choose to do with me as your will commands. Unworthy as I am of your grace, I stand ready yet forever in wait of giving you service. Let my strength and patience not wither, nor my resolve weaken. For you are my light, my Father, my alpha and omega, as I strive to be a channel of your peace. Amen.
