Lord, give each one of your children power to become the sons of God in their actions. May we become more and more like the Firstborn; may we begin to exercise our sonship by conquering ourselves.

Help us to put down sin. May every sinful thought be driven out, and every thought be brought into captivity to the Spirit of God. Oh help us to be perfectly consecrated to your service, because we are the children of God. May we not live like children of the devil, neither serve him, nor serve our affections and lusts.

Our Father, we earnestly ask that every believer may feel the power of the sprinkled blood most vividly and consciously. May we hear Jesus say by it, “You are clean, clean everywhere” (cf. John 13:10).

May we have a sense of entire security, because you have said it yourself—“When I see the blood I will pass over you” (Exodus 12:13). This is the blood of our passover, and no destroying angel can touch us.

Pray with Spurgeon: God reads our hearts like a book

O God, we stand, therefore, now in your immediate presence, and our very heart speaks to you, and we rejoice that you who search the heart, know what our heart would say; and if these lips should fail to speak out the heart’s utterances, you will interpret what is written in every heart.

If no lip this morning should express the desire of certain of your saints, because their groanings are such that they cannot utter them themselves, and, therefore, cannot expect anyone else to do it, yet you will read every heart; for every heart is open before you as a book, and you read the thoughts and intents of the heart.

We would in spirit now pass into that inner place, into which the High Priest of Israel dared not come but once a year, and then not without blood. We bless you that the veil is torn; and now every believer is made a priest, and permitted to come into the Holy of Holies, and to draw near unto the mercy-seat, all sprinkled with blood, without fear of being regarded as an intruder, or smitten down like Nadab and Abihu (Leviticus 10).

O God, we stand, therefore, now in your immediate presence, and our very heart speaks to you, and we rejoice that you who search the heart, know what our heart would say.

Our Father, we do not crouch before you, like slaves before a tyrant, but feel the spirit of adoption, which shall draw us into familiar fellowship with you.

Though still, we approach you with holy trembling, for you are God in heaven, and we are still but men upon the earth, and at the very sight of you we feel a trembling coming over us; yet there is joy with it; and you have taught us to rejoice with trembling (Psalm 2:11).

Our Father, we bless you that we dare use that name without a question; for many of us feel the Holy Spirit bearing witness with our spirits that we are the children of God. We thank you that we have passed from death unto life, and have been born again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3).

He who sits on the throne and makes all things new has made us new, and called us into newness of life, and made us to feel a life within us which must outlast the ages, for it is the life of God.

Let your kingdom come, good Lord; let your kingdom come and let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and our hearts shall sing with the angel choir, and be glad with all the ransomed before the throne, because God is glorified.

This is our soul’s grandest object, that Jesus’ name be lifted high, and his throne be set up among the people, to the praise of the glory of his grace. And now unto the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, be glory, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.

Lord there is a great tumult in the world right now: we pray you overrule it for your glory. Grant that the best ends of progress, of truth and righteousness may be subserved; and may it be seen still, that the Lord reigns.

Even though the people should riot and rebel against the truth, advance your cause; even by disaster and defeat, if so it must be, or by success and prosperity.

Look on sinners! Oh, look on sinners! When you bless your people, you make them blessings. When the church is vigorous, when the people praise you, then shall the earth yield her increase, then shall all the nations praise you too; for the joy of Zion is the joy of the whole earth.

When the Lord makes glad his people then he makes the earth sit still and rest, or even if it rages, yet still there is a time of salvation, a time of the ingathering of the hidden ones, and Christ’s name is glorious.

Pray with Spurgeon: Make us holy

May there be a great revival of religion in all the members of my church, and especially in the minds of those who are growing cold or indifferent to holy things.

Wherever there is any laxity of life, any slight holding of precious truth; wherever the world is creeping in with its corroding influences; wherever there is anything of sin, which our eye sees not, but which your eye detects, be pleased to put it away. Fill my whole church with unity, with love, with life, with power.
