DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

It is because we are your own that we have hope. You will make us worthy of you. Your possession of us is our hope of perfection. You wash our feet because we are your own. Oh how sweet is the mercy which first took us to its heart and made us all its own and now continues to deal tenderly with us, so that, being Christ’s own, we may have that of Christ within us which all may see, and which proves us to be the Lord’s.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)

We may be filled with joy and peace in believing, and may abound in hope. There is no reason why we should hang our heads and live in perpetual doubt. We may not only be somewhat comforted, but we may be full of joy; we may not only have occasional quiet, but we may dwell in peace, and delight ourselves in the abundance of it. These great privileges are attainable, or the apostle would not have made them the subjects of prayer.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Dabarre of Somalia.

Somalia is a dangerous country full of terrorism, unrest, lack of access to healthcare facilities, frequent kidnappings, and even piracy. Missionaries will not be able to persevere in Somalia unless God empowers them.

Pray that God would help the missionaries he has sent to Somalia.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Study (the entire Bible) with Spurgeon*

Good study Bibles have been an incredible blessing to me throughout my Christian life. They are incredible tools for understanding and applying the Bible.

One of my favorite study Bibles is The Spurgeon Study Bible. This is a great tool for deepening your understanding of Scripture.

Two great features: there are hundreds of study notes taken from Spurgeon’s sermons throughout the Bible, and there are short introductions by Spurgeon on every book of the Bible. This is a great way to get a broad overview or detailed reflection, right from Spurgeon, on any section of Scripture.

The Spurgeon Study Bible is a great resource for Scripture study. And for a limited time, they are 40% off when you use promo code SPURGE40. I hope you’ll grab one today.
