Pray with Spurgeon

Daily Newsletter from SpurgeonBooks

This week, our prayers and Scripture readings each day will focus on answered prayer. Next week, we’ll focus on unanswered prayer.

DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Lord, you have heard our prayers, even when we have hardly thought they could be answered. We have been unbelieving, but you have been faithful. We have been undeserving, but your grace has never failed. There are many of us who have known you now as long as Israel knew you in the wilderness, these forty years, and never once have you failed to keep your promise or to remember your people for good.

May our faith grow exceedingly. May we that have had experience of your goodness, feel ashamed to ever entertain a doubt, and when the dark thought ever crosses our mind which would make us mistrust, may we chase it as a strange and vain thought, which must not even lodge, much less dwell, within our hearts.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)

Oh my soul, knock hard this morning and ask large things of your generous Lord. Do not leave the throne of grace until all your wants have been spread before the Lord, and until by faith you have a comfortable prospect that they shall be all supplied. No bashfulness needs to slow us down when Jesus invites. No unbelief should hinder when Jesus promises. No cold-heartedness should restrain when such blessings are to be obtained.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Learn more about prayer from Spurgeon

In Pray with Spurgeon each day, we get to learn about prayer by hearing Spurgeon pray himself, but we can also learn a lot by reading his teachings on prayer.

Prayer was a frequent topic in Spurgeon’s preaching and all of these sermons are incredibly powerful, which is why I compiled some of the best into a book, Spurgeon on Prayer.

This book is available for free to all Pray with Spurgeon subscribers, but you can also purchase physical or Kindle copies on Amazon to support this ministry so I’m able to continue sending it each day.

The software I use to send the newsletter each day recently raised their prices, but I’m committed to continue this important ministry. I hope you’ll partner with me!
