DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
O Lord, many feel weary today. Will you, however, give so much of the blessed Spirit, that, notwithstanding the weakness of the flesh, our spirit may have fellowship with God.
As we cry to you you upon one or two accounts, and we trust that we may be heard in heaven, your dwelling-place. We know that many of your people have been lifting up their hearts in prayer. Let our united supplication bring a blessing upon the congregation, and out of the many who listened to us, may a large number be brought to Christ.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Answer me when I call, God, who vindicates me. You freed me from affliction; be gracious to me and hear my prayer.” (Psalm 4:1)
Good men want to be heard when they pray; they are not satisfied with merely praying, they must have God’s answers to their supplications. See how David pleads the past mercy received from God. Cannot my own heart look back to God’s lovingkindness to me in days gone by? Oh, yes! Since he is the same God, what he has done in the past is an argument for what he will do in the future.

Learn more about prayer from Spurgeon
I’ve been sending this newsletter every day for almost three years, and I’m still learning a lot about the power and importance of prayer from Spurgeon. Which is why, earlier this year, I compiled some of his best sermons on prayer into a book, Spurgeon on Prayer.
I’ve made this book available for free to all subscribers of the newsletter, but you can also purchase physical or Kindle copies on Amazon to support this ministry.
Sending this newsletter is a labor of love — I LOVE having an excuse to read Spurgeon every day, and I love hearing your feedback that it’s helpful for growing your own prayer life. I hope you’ll support this ministry so I can continue to send the newsletter for many years to come.
