PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH (BY SPURGEON)
Even the act of worship may not be easy for some. The dragon seems to pursue them, and floods of distractions wash away their devotion. Grant them wings like eagles, that each one may soar away to the place prepared for them and find rest in your presence today.
Our Father, come and grant rest to your children now.
Amen.

WEEKEND LONG READ (SERMON BY SPURGEON)
The Saint, One with His Savior
We want to have the same spirit as Christ. Well, brethren, our hope is that we shall have it, for we are joined to the Lord, and he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit. You are joined to Christ, you are one spirit, and though it is not yet fully seen, it will be before long. There are better times coming, there are deeper degrees of grace for you yet, only persevere.
