Pray with Spurgeon

Daily Newsletter from SpurgeonBooks

This week, our prayers and Scripture readings each day will focus on preaching. Next week, we’ll highlight a different theme. Invite a friend to pray with you by sending them this link.

DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

If any in your presence this weekend are unsaved, oh save them at our service. Do grant that the services may bring such glad tidings to their ear, that their heart shall leap at the sound of it, and they shall return unto God, who will abundantly pardon. Bless every preacher of the Word this week, and all classes of young men and women, and every form of holy service.

Accept the prayers and praises of your people. Receive them even from the sick beds of those detained at home. Let not one of your mourners, the weary watchers of the night, be kept without a smile from God. May the Lord bless us now, and all his chosen people. Our soul cries out for it. Break, oh everlasting morning, break over the dark hills! Let our eyes behold you, and until the day breaks and the shadows flee away, abide with us, O our Beloved, abide with us now.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage with great patience and teaching.” (2 Timothy 4:2)

My learned doctor, we do not want your new gospel. We want the old word of God. My friend of the fine poetical speech, you of the grand rhetoric, you of the golden mouth, we want neither you nor your mouth unless you give us the word of God—just what is revealed in Scripture. We have only this story to tell—the story that is in that book, the story of him who hung upon the cross. We must preach the word.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Bafinda of Pakistan.

The Bafinda are a group of 107,000 Muslims with zero Christians. They do not know any Christians and they do not have the Bible in their language. Unless someone crosses cultures to tell them, they have no hope of even hearing about Jesus.

Pray that God would send missionaries to the Bafinda.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

October is Pastor Appreciation Month

This week, Pray with Spurgeon is focusing on the theme of the preaching of God’s Word. I chose this theme because October is Pastor Appreciation Month — a season devoted to honoring the shepherds God has given us for our good.

My friends at Midwestern Seminary are bringing back their incredible $10,000 giveaway for Pastor Appreciation Month. One pastor will be chosen to receive $5,000 for a family vacation and $5,000 to his church for any outstanding needs. You can nominate your pastor today — it’s a great time of the year to appreciate him!

(They are also giving away a FREE ebook for ministers written by Spurgeon — make sure you download your copy today.)
