Spurgeon’s Daily Help
You’ve likely been tempted to rely on what you can see instead of trusting solely in the invisible God. Christians often look to people for help and advice, which can undermine the simplicity of their trust in God. If you’re a child of God and worried about your needs, let’s reason together. You trust
Jesus alone for your salvation, so why are you troubled? “Because of my many worries,” you might say. But isn’t it written, “Cast your burden on the Lord”? “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, make your requests known to God.”

It’s better to become poorer than Lazarus and more afflicted than he was than to become heartless and selfish. A person may be rich, famous, learned, and powerful, but they are pitiable if they’ve sacrificed the tenderness of their heart and become a
cold, unfeeling person, devoid of compassion. It’s like living death; it’s a curse even before the final judgment, to be reduced to an unfeeling block of stone.
