DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Send, we pray, seasonable weather for the harvest of the earth’s fruits, but above all, send a time of harvest to your Church. May your Kingdom come and your will be done. Fulfill the promise of the Father that you have made to your Son—”They shall be called a people who were not a people, and her beloved who was not beloved. And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they shall be called sons of the living God.”
Oh, draw them today; save them today. May this be a day in which many fruits ripen for Christ. Lord, save the people; save all of your people. We ask this in the name, the mighty sovereign name, of Jesus.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Now, Father, glorify me in your presence with that glory I had with you before the world existed.” (John 17:5)
After completing the work, Christ was to receive glory. O worker for God, do not seek glory before your work is done! Do not expect honor from people because you have begun the work so earnestly. Persevere until it is finished, and then the glory will come. “Truly, I tell you, they have received their reward,” said our Lord regarding the scribes and Pharisees who sought the praise of people. But your reward is not yet, it is yet to come. Wait for it, for it is certain to come.

Learn more about prayer from Spurgeon
I’ve been sending this newsletter every day for almost four years, and I’m still learning a lot about the power and importance of prayer from Spurgeon. Which is why I recently 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, so I’m able to continue sending this newsletter.
I hope you’ll support this ministry so I can continue to send the newsletter for many years to come.
