Evening Scripture
I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
Psalm 30:1-5
Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
2 Timothy 2:21
Father God, I come to you now for cleansing. Remind me of the ways I have sinned against you today, in thought, word or deed. I confess them to you now.
Thank you Lord, that you dwell with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit. You come to revive the heart of the contrite! (Isaiah 57:15) I trust now that I am forgiven.

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

In peace I now lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8) Grant rest tonight, I pray. And grant that tomorrow I would again seek your Kingdom and your glory in all the earth. Amen.
