NIGHT DEVOTION

 


NIGHT PRAYER

That the God of our Lord Jesus

Christ, the Father of glory, may

give unto you the spirit of wisdom

and revelation in the knowledge of

him:

From: Ephesians 1:17


INSPIRATION

When we first come to Christ, it is

usually an emotionally charged

union. Our repentance and our joy

combine often to create tears as we

pray for forgiveness and receive

our salvation. As young believers,

our exuberance and our passion

for Christ are boundless and our

zeal buoys us to action. Eventually,

however, this type of emotionalism

dies out and unless we are firmly

rooted in the Word of God, we are

lost again. The scripture exhorts us

to gain knowledge of God so that

His Word may be revealed to us. It

is the Word of God that roots us in

our salvation. Without it, we are

too easily led astray. That is why

Bible study is so important. The

more we study, the more we know

God. The more we know God, the

stronger the bond that ties us to

Him.


PRAYER

Father, help me to study Your

word, so that I may come to truly

know You. As I study Your word,

give me the wisdom to understand

You. Reveal Yourself to mne as I

root myself in knowledge of You.

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 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 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.
