  NIGHT PRAYER Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. From: Romans 12:15 INSPIRATION There is a time and place for everything, and having the emotional intelligence to understand when and how to act is important. Empathy is an important and learned attribute, one that nobody displayed more than Jesus Christ. Observe the people around you and be in touch with their emotions so that you know when and how to act at the appropriate times. PRAYER All-knowing God, give me the vision to understand the audiences and settings that I am in, so that I may behave appropriately. Help me to empathize and understand the feelings of others, so that I can assist those that need it. I ask that You compel me to help other people mnore than before, for I have kept quiet too often when I should have spoken up. Let me use this new courage only for good, and please prevent me from ever causing harm. I pledge this in service to You, O Lord. Amen.

  NIGHT PRAYER For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. From: Hebrews 6:10 INSPIRATION God has always kept his promises to us, to a thousand generations (Deuteronomy 7:9). He always hears when we ask anything to him (1 John 5: 14-15). Our God is just and fair. He will forgive you if you ask, he will listen when you pray. Whether you do those things is entirely up to you. PRAYER Lord, how can I ever repay my life debt to you? With this prayer, I pledge to honor a pact with You: I know that You will hear me and I will constantly pray; I know that You will keep Your promises to me so I will keep my promises to You; I know that You love me so I will love You with all of my heart and strength. The rest I trust You and Your gracious power. Amen.

  NIGHT PRAYER Rejoice evermore.Pray without ceasing.In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. From: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 INSPIRATION Is there any other place in your life that you feel that you really "rejoice" other than at Church? Do you take time out of your day to explicitly pray to God, or is it constantly happening in the way you talk and act? Are you grateful for everything or are you sometimes bitter when things don't go as you hoped? Think carefully about this passage, because if you implement the changes that these verses command, your entire life view will be positively altered. Think about it and you will discover that you already know it is true. PRAYER All the glory be to God! I wish to have no evil in my thoughts, precious Lord Jesus, and hope that every moment of my life is spent rejoicing in Your name. I know that I am not perfect; no, I am far from it. Forgive me for neglecting the virtues bestowed on me ...

  NIGHT PRAYER Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. From: Hebrews 7:25 INSPIRATION Jesus' time on earth was a learning experience for all sides. Although God created everything, he had never experienced life as a mortal man. Knowing what He could gain from this experience, God sent his only son to us so that we could better understand Him. Trust in Jesus and be saved completely! PRAYER Precious God, You knew your son Jesus would die for us. We are sinners, and You chose to help us live a life that is more holy through the sacrifice of Your only begotten son. Forgive us for trespassing against You in the first place, O Lord! Today I pray that I may dutifully fulfill my obligation to You, by living in a godly and respectful way, carrying out Your commandments. I love You, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and all people as You have taught me. Thank you for loving me. Amen.

  NIGHT PRAYER But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. From: 1 Corinthians 2:9 INSPIRATION Science and philosophy have explained so much about our world. However, some things are beyond explanation, beyond even our imaginations. So many things are impossible to even understand for humanity. God's love and His plan for us is one of these things. PRAYER Dearest God, I trust that You have a divine plan, even if I do not understand it. I pledge my faith to You, all that I can give and yet next to nothing compared to what You give to me. If my imagination wanders, I ask that You bring it back to focus on my faith in You. In honor of Your service, my God in heaven. Amen.

  NIGHT PRAYER Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; From: Romans 12:10 INSPIRATION While there is a love we should have for all men as our brothers in Adam, here Paul speaks of the special love and affection that exists between brothers and sisters in Christ. There is a fellowship they have with one another based on their common fellowship with God. They share the same love for Christ, the same basic experience of salvation, the same eternal destiny. PRAYER Give mea new level of love for my spiritual brothers and sisters, o Lord. Let me rejoice in our common love for You and in all that we share in common. Help me to be kind towards them and to put others above myself. Amen.

  NIGHT PRAYER Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. From: 2 Corinthians 9:11 INSPIRATION When Paul brought the offering from the churches to the church in Jerusalem, it was as a sweet smelling savor to the Lord above. And it was the cause of great thanksgiving to God by those who gave and those who received. And many who only heard of what happened would also give thanks to God and glorify his name for this. PRAYER Let us not, Lord, take giving to Your ministry and to Your people in need lightly. Let us not think it mundane and of merely carnal value. We know that giving is an opportunity to grow in grace, to show others Your love, and to see great thanksgiving arise to You out of truly thankful hearts. Amen.
