DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Hallowed be your name. May all the earth always revere it! As for us, enable us by your grace to use your name with awe and trembling and may a consideration of the glorious character which is intended by your gracious name, always lay us in the very dust before you, and yet lift us up with holy joy, and with an unwavering confidence.

We come before you this morning, through Christ Jesus, to express our entire confidence in you. We believe that you are and that you are the rewarder of those who diligently seek you.

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)

Our Lord, having warned us against certain vices which had connected themselves with prayer, as to its place and spirit, now gives us a model upon which to fashion our prayers. This delightful prayer is short, devout, and full of meaning. Its first three petitions are for God and his glory. Our chief prayers to God are to be for his glory. Do we begin this way with God in prayer? Does not the daily bread often come in before the kingdom?

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Awlad Hassan of Sudan.

The Awlad Hassan are a relatively affluent group, living as successful merchants. Their greatest need, peace with God, remains unmet.

Pray that God would show many Awlad Hassans their need for him.

How should Christians think about transgender movement and transgender people?*

Mark Sanders, president of Harvest USA, recently published a really helpful article, “The Transgender Trend: Is It Over?”

Mark examines some recent data that may suggest the hold of transgender identities waning in the United States and offers some reflections on what this data does (and does not) mean for Christians today.
