Thanks for praying with us this week. We’ll be back on Monday.

DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We do bless you, Lord, for creating the blessed ordinance of prayer. We thank you, Lord, that we have not only found benefit in prayer, but in the answers to it we have been greatly enriched. You have opened your hidden treasures to the voice of prayer; you have supplied our necessities as soon as we have cried out to you; yes, we have found it true: “Before they call I will answer, and while they are yet speaking I will hear.”

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his faithful love endures forever.” (Psalm 107:1)

Thanks is all we can give him, and the least we can give; therefore let us diligently render to him our thanksgiving. Let us be at all times thoroughly fervent in the praises of the Lord, both with our lips and with our lives, by thanksgiving and thanks-living. The Lord is not to be worshiped with groans and cries, but with thanks, for he is good; and these thanks should be heartily rendered, for his is no common goodness: he is good by nature, and essence, and proven to be good in all the acts of his eternity. Compared with him there is none good, no, not one: but he is essentially, perpetually, superlatively, infinitely good. We are the perpetual partakers of his goodness, and therefore ought above all his creatures to magnify his name.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Aimaq of Afghanistan.

Jesus is at work in Afghanistan and “He will not grow weak or be discouraged until he has established justice on earth” (Isaiah 42:4).

Pray that the reign of Christ will extend to the Aimaq and every tribe in Afghanistan.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

A Practical Tool to Strengthen Your Marriage

Men, if you want to become the husband God has called you to be, you need to create a specific plan to “love your wife, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her” (Ephesians 5:25). Women, if you want to become the wife that God has called you to be, you also need to plan and prepare.

This is the heart behind the God Centered Marriage One-Year Journals. These are practical resources to help you grow.

These journals have 52 blank weekly templates to help you serve your spouse (encouraging you to brainstorm ways you can pray for and care for them). I’ve been SO THANKFUL to hear about how God has used this resource to strengthen marriages:

Also included:

  • 52 deep conversation starters for Christian couples

  • Weekly devotionals to remind you of God’s grace for imperfect spouses

  • One-year Bible reading plan to help you keep track of your devotional life

  • Promise Log to help you keep track of the things you've promised your spouse that you will do, work on, or change. Have you kept your promises?

  • Weekly to-do list and notes page

I’m really excited about this resource, so I hope you’ll grab a copy today for yourself and another one for a friend (a GREAT Christ-centered Christmas gift!)

These journals are available on Amazon:
