DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We present ourselves before the Throne of God, in the name of Jesus Christ our great High Priest. And first, we ask for pardon through the blessed blood. You have already pardoned some of us; give us a new sense of it. Continue to pardon us; let us feel as if we came every day to the “fountain filled with blood,” and as if the washing were new every day.

But have pity upon those who have never been pardoned. Hear the cry of sinners as they seek your face, and wherever there is a penitent spirit, be pleased speedily to send it relief and let forgiveness of sin be felt wherever the burden of sin weighs down the spirit.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)

The apostle spoke of present blessings, matters of actual experience. The grace of the eternal past is a matter of faith, but here is something within our grasp and enjoyment. The other we believe, but this we actually and literally receive. We do not hope for it, but we have it. We do not merely think so, but we know we have it. We are redeemed. We are free from bondage. We are forgiven and are no longer under condemnation.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week we’re praying for the Baheng of China.

The Apostle Paul wrote that Christ must be “preached among the nations” (1 Timothy 3:16). This has not happened for the Baheng nation.

Pray that the gospel would reach the Baheng for the first time.

LAST WORD FROM SPURGEON

“You cannot sin as much as God can forgive. If it comes to a battle between sin and grace, you shall not be as bad as God shall be good.” — Charles Spurgeon
