Give a blessing this morning, we pray, to us all; may we make a distinct advance in the divine life; may we get to a higher platform.

May we leave the mists of doubt and fear below us in the valley, and quit the marshes of the plain, and climb the glittering hilltops of eternal security in Christ and blessed oneness with him, by simply believing him who cannot lie—who has sworn by two immutable things, and cannot from his purpose turn nor from his word draw back. O God, grant this faith to the entire church.

Pray with Spurgeon: God, give us more faith

God, bless my beloved church! Give to it more faith: may the prayers that go up before you be salted with faith: when we preach, may we preach in faith; and may all that is done of the brotherhood for Christ, be done in simple confidence in God.

We know, that if we do not believe, we shall never be established. We cannot expect to see result from our service, unless it is done in faith; for you have said “Let it be done for you according to your faith” (Matthew 9:29). O give the members of this church the childlike simplicity that never thinks of doubting God; but may we go forward—in all weakness made strong, by the strength of the Mighty God of Jacob.

Pray with Spurgeon: God, deliver your children

O Lord, we beseech you, save our unconverted friends and neighbors from this gall of bitterness, this horrible yoke of iniquity, which consists in disbelieving God and his Christ.

And, then, deliver any of your children that have backslidden, and have gotten into a state of misbelief. May they be brought back; may they come with weeping and lamentation, and again trust the ever-blessed Father; and may our confidence become strong, that our peace may be like a river, and our righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Pray with Spurgeon: May unbelievers trust Christ

O God, have mercy upon the unbelievers that we know, who have heard your word, and who profess to believe in the inspiration of your sacred Book, and yet have never come and put their confidence in Christ. We know that they are condemned already, because they have not believed upon the Son of God.

Oh deliver them from this great sin; and may they come at this very hour, and cast their helpless souls upon him on whom you have laid our help. May they begin to believe this morning, and then they shall begin to live; and you will breathe peace into such, and you will give them rest, and strength, and holiness; and they shall be more than conquerors, if they will but believe their God.

Pray with Spurgeon: Trusting God in Trials

Are any of your servants this morning in great trial? Lord help them! Whatever they fail in, let them not fail in faith. May we scorn to doubt our God. Oh, let not the devil get so much power over us as to cause us to mistrust the Eternal, who must not be mistrusted; but may we glorify you.

May we snatch the great opportunities of glorifying you, which troubles and trials bring; and count ourselves to have a high talent committed to us, when we have the opportunity of showing our conquest of self, and our glorying in God in the time of trial. The Lord bless his people here with Abrahamic faith, which staggers not at the promise through unbelief.

Pray with Spurgeon: Leave it all in God’s hands

Lord, teach us to be resigned to your will; teach us to delight in your law; teach us to have no will but your will; teach us to be sure that everything you do is good—is the very best that can be done.

Help us to leave our concerns in your divine hands, being persuaded that you have sway even over evil; that out of it you bring good, and better still, and better still in infinite progression, until your high purposes shall develop in your own perfect glory, and in the perfect bliss of all them that put their trust in you.

“The decrees you issue are righteous and altogether trustworthy.” (Psalm 119:138, CSB)

Pray with Spurgeon: Forgive our unbelief

You are all goodness, and truth, and grace, and loving-kindness; and therefore, blessed be your name forever and ever. Blot out the sin of your servants. Once again let this unbelief of ours be forgiven; and let us stand, with no sin upon the conscience, but absolved through Jesus’ blood.

In the enjoyment of such confidence with you, may we lift up our face without a cloud, may we trust in you from now on without a doubt, and may we go on our way rejoicing, whatever that way may be.

In no one instance is there a breach of promise. You have tried us, as silver is tried, but in very faithfulness you have afflicted us. You have brought us very low indeed; but underneath us have still been the everlasting arms. You have brought us into the wilderness; but you have furnished a table for us, in the presence of our enemies.

You have made us to see the end of all perfection; but your love, even then, has been perfected—perfected in our weakness. You are all goodness, and truth, and grace, and loving-kindness; and therefore, blessed be your name forever and ever.

Pray with Spurgeon: God is the ground of our hope

We have repented, as you know, through your grace, most bitterly of that time of death in which we tried to live; and now, you have given us to see our pardon in the wounds of Jesus, and my soul puts her trust in him. God incarnate is the ground of our hope that we are accepted and forgiven, notwithstanding that previous life of ours.

But Lord, the worst of it is, that in many of our actions, even since then, we betray a disbelief of you. Like the children of Israel in the wilderness, you might well say of us, “How long will it be, before they believe me, though I have shown all my signs and wonders among them?” O God, you have been very faithful to your servants. And now, blot out the sin of your servants.

Pray with Spurgeon: God keeps every promise

Glorious Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, you have not changed: you are still a covenant God, and you keep that covenant to all your people; you do not permit a single word of it to fall to the ground.

All of your promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus, to your glory by us; and we believe those promises will be fulfilled in every jot and tittle: not one of them shall want its mate, not one of them shall fall to the ground like the frivolous words of men. Have you said, and will you not do it? Have you commanded, and shall it not come to pass? We are utterly ashamed, and full of confusion; because we have to confess that we have doubted you. Many of our actions have been atheistic. We have lived at times as if there were no God.
