DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

O Lord, we thank you that we are your children by adoption. Father, help us to enjoy the sweet privileges which come to us through being introduced into your family. May we be among the number of those who dwell in your house forever and do not go out again; who must be still praising you, because they are always within the precincts of their great Father’s house.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Therefore, you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven, your name be honored as holy.” (Matthew 6:9)

This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, “Our Father.” There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, “I will arise, and go unto my Father.” This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father “in heaven,” and ascends to devout adoration, “your name be honored as holy.” The child lisping, “Abba, Father,” grows into the cherub crying, “Holy, Holy, Holy.”
