DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
We wish especially that in the hearts of your own there may be an intense love for you and a perfect obedience to you. Grant this to each one of us. We would each pray, “Lord, sanctify me; make me obedient; write your law upon my heart and upon my mind.” Make our nature so clean that temptation cannot defile it. May our course be very clean, our path be very straight; may we keep our garments unspotted from the world; and in thought and desire and imagination, in will and in purpose, may we be holy as God is holy.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” (Matthew 6:13)
If I must be tried, Lord, deliver me from falling into evil, and especially preserve me from that evil one, who, above all, seeks my soul, to destroy it. Temptation or trial may be for my good, if I am delivered from evil. Lord, do this for me, for I cannot preserve myself.
PRAY FOR THE NATIONS
This week, we’re praying for the Ainu of China.
The Bible promises that, one day, “All the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, Lord, and will honor your name” (Psalm 86:9). When will the Ainu bow before the risen Lord Jesus in joyful submission?
Pray that the Ainu would join in the eternal praise of Jesus.
