Pray with Spurgeon

WEEKEND EDITION

Sponsored By

The Weekend Edition is sent each Saturday to help you prepare your heart to gather with your church on Sunday.

Join Spurgeon in prayer for the saints and sinners who will hear God's Word at your church tomorrow.

PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH (BY SPURGEON)

Our Father, we earnestly pray that you would look upon those who are unconverted among our church gathering; we are always praying for them, but we would begin to pray with a greater intensity. Hear the many supplications which have gone up for some who are almost persuaded to be Christians, but not quite. Oh let them not tarry longer in that dangerous place, on the brink of faith, knowing but not obeying, hearing but not receiving the gospel. Oh decide many this morning! While your servant is preaching, the Lord bring sinners to himself.

Amen.

If God be my Father, he loves me. And oh, how he loves me! When God is a Husband he is the best of husbands. Widows, somehow or other, are always well eared for. When God is a Friend, he is the best of friends, and sticketh closer than a brother; and when he is a Father he is the best of fathers.
