Pray with Spurgeon

Daily Newsletter from SpurgeonBooks

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.” (Psalm 16:11)

The life of heaven is a life of joy, and the crowning joy is that the pleasures there are “eternal pleasures.” In this world, a few drops of joy fall here and there, and there are sometimes showers of blessing; but up there, it is joy, joy, joy forever, pleasures forevermore. Let these blessed joy-bells ring in your ears and in your heart just now; and if you know even a little of what they mean, you may anticipate that they will mean a thousand times as much on the other side of the Jordan of death, in the heavenly land of Canaan.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Imragen in Western Sahara.

The Imragen are Muslims, but they also believe that spiritual forces have power and need to be appeased with charms and amulets.

Pray that the Imragen would know what only Christ has power over the demons.

Support Pray with Spurgeon

I’ve been sending this newsletter every weekday for more than five years and I don’t have plans to stop anytime soon. I love hearing from readers like you about how this email has strengthened your prayer life. This newsletter is a labor of love that requires a fair bit of time from me.

Managing a large email list (we’re currently at 24,000 subscribers!) also comes with a lot of financial costs. Next month, I’ll pay an annual fee of almost $2,000 for the software I use to send the email every day. This expense is hitting in a season when finances are a little bit tight for my family (I shared last month that I needed to replace our family’s only car; on top of this, one of my main sources of income is ending at the end of this month).

To help cover some of these costs (and make new features possible!), I launched a premium version of the newsletter — Pray with Spurgeon Plus — at the beginning of this year. I’ve been thankful for the support that so many of you have shown by subscribing. If you want to support this work, you can subscribe to Pray with Spurgeon Plus here.

If this newsletter is a blessing to you, please consider becoming a premium subscriber. Here’s what you’ll receive:

• Audio Newsletter — Each day, along with the normal Pray with Spurgeon content that you love, you’ll also receive an audio edition. Listen to Pray with Spurgeon in the car, while you cook breakfast, or anywhere else on the go.

• Weekend Edition — A prayer to help you prepare for church and other content from Spurgeon, including his personal letters (which are really encouraging devotional reading!)

• Faith’s Checkbook — My modern-day updating of Spurgeon’s classic one-year devotional on God’s promises, The Chequebook of the Bank of Faith, with new application points each day.

• Support the Ministry — With your help, we can make sure Pray with Spurgeon continues to exist to help everyone grow their prayer life and learn from Spurgeon.

(Click here to subscribe to Pray with Spurgeon Plus for just $2.50 each month.)

I understand that not everyone is able to support this ministry financially (and it will always be free). For those of you who are able, your premium subscription is a great way to bear the weight for those with less and support this ministry — to make sure that any one who wants to benefit from Spurgeon’s prayers will always be able to do so.

The premium subscription costs less than one cup of coffee each month. You can receive a FREE month (and help me save on bank fees!) with an annual subscription. Click here to subscribe now.

Thank you so much for your support!

In Christ,
