Night Prayer 

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

Inspiration

When we witness for the Lord, we do so with a clear conscience and assurance that we are speaking the truth. We know that His promise of salvation extends to everyone, and we will continue to minister to those who do not know Him with courage and determination.
