DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Dear Savior, wash us, but do not only take away the guilt of sin; take away its power too so that from now on we may treat you better; that holiness, true reverence, and hearty loyalty may be our service all our days. You, who did hang naked on the cross, we pray, we beg, take our whole body, soul, and spirit, and dwell in it and reign over it, and get glory from it, while we live and when we die, and when we rise again, and to eternity.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus… he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death— even to death on a cross.” (Philippians 2:5, 8)

Paul wishes to unite the saints in Philippi in the holy bands of love. To do this, he takes them to the cross. In the cross there is a cure for every spiritual disease. There is food for every spiritual virtue in the Savior. We never go to him too often.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Tai Khang of China and Laos.

The Tai Khang live in a beautiful place, surrounded by mountains, valleys and streams. It has a subtropical, spring-like climate year round. They enjoy wonderful blessings from creation, but have never given thanks to the Creator.

Pray that the Tai Khang would hear about the one true God for the first time.

The good news of Jesus offers hope, even in the darkest moments of our lives. He is a redeemer who makes beauty out of our worst brokenness.

There are few things I can imagine that are as painful as navigating sexual betrayal within marriage, but even here, Jesus is at work. He cares for you.
