DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Our Father, come and grant rest to your children now. Remove the helmet from our brows, take off the weight of our heavy armor for a while, and allow us to experience peace, perfect peace, and be at rest. Oh, help us, we pray, in this moment. Just as you have already cleansed your people in the fountain filled with blood and made them clean, now wash us from any defilement in the water. O Master, wash our feet once again. It will greatly refresh us and prepare us for intimate fellowship with you. Just as the priests washed before entering the holy place, we too desire to be cleansed.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine, and I am glorified in them.” (John 17:10)

Every true child of God brings glory to Christ. If you cannot say that you are glorifying Christ, you should question whether you truly belong to him. If you are his, this statement holds true for you: “And glory has come to me through them,” not just by them but through them. “Through their patient suffering, through their diligent labor, through their faith, through their trust in me, ‘glory has come to me.'”

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Fight unbelief with the truths of faith

Today we prayed for an end to our unbelief and doubt. Asking questions is not a bad thing — we just need to labor to answer our questions in a faith-filled, biblical way. There ARE answers available for even the toughest questions about the Bible — do you know those answers?

A great resource for being equipped to defend your faith is Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World’s Largest Religion by Rebecca McLaughlin. This book gives practical, biblical, and winsome answers to some of the world’s most pressing objections to the gospel.

Be equipped to answer questions like “Isn’t Christianity homophobic?” and “How can you say there’s only one true faith?” with Bible-centered wisdom and Christ-centered hope.

Confronting Christianity will bolster your own faith and equip you to be a bold witness for Christ. I hope you’ll buy a copy today and read it this summer.
