Today’s Quote
Persistent prayer keeps the Sun of Righteousness shining on us.
— Charles Spurgeon
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Christ doesn’t stay long with those who don’t cry out to Him. If there’s no prayer, He departs. What a powerful effect prayer has on our relationship with Jesus! You can always measure one by the other. Those who pray the most fervently and frequently are often those who spend the most time with the
kind Intercessor. On the other hand, those who wrestle the hardest in prayer will hold onto the angel of the Lord the longest. Joshua’s voice held the sun in the sky for a few hours, but the voice of prayer can keep the Sun of Righteousness shining on us for months and even years.

Persistent prayer is a great blessing to the Christian. Just as a runner gains strength for a race through daily exercise, so we gain strength for the race of life through the holy training of earnest prayer. Prayer strengthens the wings of God’s young
eagles so they can learn to soar above the clouds. Prayer girds the loins of God’s warriors and sends them out to battle with their muscles firm and their strength renewed.
