Night Prayer
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Inspiration
God commissioned Paul to share the Gospel with the nations. He experienced great persecution along the way, yet the Lord encouraged him to remain courageous as he continued his ministry into Rome. We also surrender our lives to the Lord and complete many works in His name. People ignore or reject us, but the Holy Spirit never fails to guide and encourage us along the way.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we call upon Your Spirit for wisdom and guidance as we continue Your ministry throughout the world. Thank You for Your continuous encouragement as we work according to Your will. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Night Prayer
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
Inspiration
We have many daily challenges that cause us to worry. Financial burdens, physical health, and other personal affairs cause anxiety and fear. Jesus reassures the disciples that they do not have to worry about where they will rest or what clothes they will wear because God will be present to provide for them as needed. We can apply this knowledge to our concerns as well. God is present and will provide for us physically and spiritually. Even when things are not okay, His presence alone grants us peace to make it through each life event.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we love and adore You. We are grateful for Your presence in our lives and the peace You bestow upon us. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
