DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
O Redeemer of our spirits, visit your people today! You are our next of kin; be not strange to your own flesh. You have laid down your life for us: what value you have set upon us! Let us be precious in your sight and honorable, because you have loved us; and may we know it today.
Take every doubt from the heart of your people; let not a single thought of mistrust abide with any one of us. May we just lean on Christ as hard as we can, with a full weight of weakness and sin and sorrow, and just swoon away into the eternal love, and there lie passive in his hand. To know no will but his, nor active be until he makes us so by his own power.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Who are you now relying on…?” (Isaiah 36:5)
Reader, this is an important question. Listen to the Christian’s answer, and see if it is yours. “On whom do you trust?” “I trust,” says the Christian, the Son—the man Christ Jesus. I trust in him to take away all my sins by his own sacrifice, and to adorn me with his perfect righteousness. I trust him to be my Intercessor, to present my prayers and desires before his Father’s throne, and I trust him to be my Advocate at the last great day, to plead my cause, and to justify me. I trust him for what he is, for what he has done, and for what he has promised yet to do
