DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Forgive us our trespasses. Oh Lord, our chief desire this morning before you is to be right with you. Oh make us right with you, great Father. Grant the kiss of forgiveness to each of your children this morning, and may we feel that you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness; and in the joy of this, may we feel peace with you.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” (Matthew 6:12)

No prayer of mortal men could be complete without confession of sin. Prayer which does not seek for pardon will fail, as the Pharisee’s prayer did. Let proud men boast as they please, those who are in Christ’s kingdom will always pray, “Forgive us our debts.” Our Lord knew that we should always have debts to own, and therefore would always need to cry, “Forgive!”

Enjoying God’s Grace with Spurgeon

Today, we prayed that God would forgive us our debts. Spurgeon was always preaching about God’s grace and forgiveness and one of his greatest explanations was in All of Grace, a book-length  explanation of the wonder of God’s grace.

This classic book, originally written for curious non-Christians, has been updated by a dear friend of mine to make it more accessible for modern readers.

Reading All of Grace will bless you in so many ways. I hope you’ll grab a copy of this updated edition.
