DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

While we praise you this morning, we are longing that others might do the same. The deepest prayer of our own heart is, “your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Lord, bring our friends and kinsfolk to praise you—everyone. May all of your children gather to the living God and praise him. Let no one be absent.

We pray that you would bring in the lost sheep of the House of Israel; the many redeemed by blood, not yet redeemed by power, the many chosen who have never chosen you, the many who will be in the glory but as yet are glorying in their shame and minding earthly things. Bring, we pray, many under the influence of the gospel, myriads to worship Christ and to be saved by him; and may his name be as ointment poured forth in every place today, enchanting many and attracting them to bow at his feet.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)

We desire for the supreme will to be done on earth with a cheerful, constant, universal obedience like that of “heaven.” We would have the Lord’s will carried out, not only by the great physical forces which never fail to be obedient to God, but by lovingly active spirits; by men, once rebellious, but graciously renewed.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

What is God’s will for your life?

Today, as we pray that God’s will would be done, you might have an important question: “What IS God’s will for my life?”

It’s an important question that we should think seriously about. A resource that I’ve been using in my church recently is a simple Bible study that helps every Christian see that God has an important part for them to play in his plan for the world. It’s called Explore the World Christian Lifestyle and it’s available as a free PDF or a paperback.

If you’re feeling stuck, directionless, or unsure what God is calling you to do, this simple Bible study is a great tool to help you learn.
