DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Oh, our glorious Lord, you have taught us to pray for others, for the grace which could have met with such undeserving sinners as we are must be able to meet with the vilest of the vile. Our Father in heaven, we offer prayer for those who never think of you; who, though created by you, are strangers to you; who are fed by your bounty, and yet never lift their voices to you, but live for self, for the world, for Satan, for sin. Father, these cannot pray for themselves for they are dead; your quickened children pray for them. These will not come to you, for, like sheep, they are lost; but seek them, Father, and bring them back.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

When that “beginning” was, we cannot tell. It may have been long ages before God fitted up this world for the abode of man, but it was not self-existent; it was created by God, it sprang from the will and the word of the all-wise Creator.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Duano of Indonesia.

Psalm 86 says, “All the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, Lord.” The Duano have never bowed before God. Pray that they would hear of Christ soon and bow before him with joy.

Pray that the Duano of Indonesia would trust Christ alone.
