Your Nightly Prayer: Evening Prayers for Christians

Your Nightly Prayer for May 13, 2025Written and led by Kyle Norman SCRIPTURE OF THE NIGHT “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”— Isaiah 43:18 (NIV) In tonight’s devotional, Kyle Norman guides us through a powerful reflection on Isaiah 43:18, inviting us to let go of the sins, memories, or even past successes that no longer serve our spiritual growth. With a relatable metaphor from the kitchen to the exile of Israel, Kyle reveals how clinging to the past keeps us from perceiving God’s active, redeeming presence in our lives today. This episode is an invitation to repentance, renewal, and trust in the "new thing" God is doing—right now. MAIN TAKEAWAYS Discover why rehearsing the past—both failures and triumphs—can prevent spiritual growth. Learn how repentance isn’t about shame, but about turning to embrace God’s current work. See Isaiah 43 in a fresh light: not as condemnation, but as a promise of renewal and hope. Reflect on how God’s redemption is not just personal, but communal—inviting your whole spiritual community to awaken to new life. YOUR NIGHTLY PRAYER Gracious Lord Jesus,I thank you for your work in my life. I thank you for every day I rise into your loving care, and you allow me to embrace the new things that you do in my life. Lord, help me forget the things that keep me from you. Open my heart to perceive the wonders of your presence, bless my eyes to see your work. And in those moments when I may be tempted to rehearse past sins, help me put aside the voices of guilt and shame, so that I might turn and embrace the new life you call me to. I pray all of this in your name, Jesus.Amen. CALL TO ACTION Subscribe to Your Nightly Prayer for peaceful, scripture-based reflections every evening.
