Spurgeon's Prayer: Resting in God's Covenant Promises

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.
— Jeremiah 29:11 (BSB)

God’s promises are longer than life, broader than sin, deeper than the grave, and higher than the clouds.
— Charles Spurgeon

Heavenly Father, we come before You tonight, filled with gratitude for the promises You have made to us. You have brought us into an everlasting covenant, one that will never fail. No matter what challenges we face, we know that Your covenant stands firm, and we are safe in Your hands.

Lord, we rest tonight in the security of Your promises. We know that You have good plans for us, plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. Even when our circumstances seem uncertain, we trust in Your unfailing love and Your perfect wisdom. We know that Your ways are higher than ours, and Your thoughts are greater than our thoughts. Help us to rest in the knowledge that You are working all things together for our good.

Father, we ask that You would help us to trust Your plan, even when we don’t understand it. Let our hearts find peace in knowing that You are in control, and that every detail of our lives is held in Your hands. We submit our desires, our worries, and our fears to You, and we ask that You would lead us according to Your will.

As we lay down to sleep tonight, may we rest in the assurance of Your covenant. May Your promises be like a shield around us, protecting us from doubt and fear. Give us peace, knowing that You have ordained every moment of our lives and that You have prepared a glorious future for us in Christ.

Thank You, Father, for Your everlasting covenant, for Your promises, and for Your unfailing love. We trust in You, and we rest in Your care. Amen.
