Today’s Quote
The Spirit of God makes prayer effective, turning our weaknesses into strength and our cries into powerful petitions.
— Thomas Watson
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
If we received blessings without asking for them, we would think they were ordinary things; but prayer makes even the common gifts of God seem more precious than diamonds, and spiritual prayer polishes the diamond, making it sparkle even more.
When you’re wrestling in prayer, like Jacob with the angel,
and feel like you’re about to be defeated, ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen you. Remember, the Holy Spirit is the wheel that turns the chariot of prayer. Prayer may be the chariot, and your desire may pull it forward, but the Spirit is the very wheel that makes it move.

It’s said that troubles we create for ourselves are like homemade clothes—they never fit well and usually last longer than those made by others. So don’t create imaginary problems for yourself, because they’re hard to get rid of. Be content with the troubles
God sends you; they’re more suitable for you than self-made sorrows, and you’ll be better able to bear them. The burden will turn out to be a blessing.

Spurgeon’s Quote
Prayer without the Spirit is like a ship without wind; it goes nowhere. The Spirit moves us heavenward.
