Today’s Quote
Prayer is the oxygen of the soul. Without it, we wither; with it, we thrive.
— Thomas Brooks
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
If someone asked me to sum up the Christian faith, I would say it’s captured in one word—"prayer." If I were asked, "What encompasses all of Christian experience?" I would answer, "prayer." A person must be convicted of their sin before they can truly pray; they must have some hope of mercy before they
can pray. Every Christian virtue is contained within that one word, prayer.
In troubled times, our best connection with God comes through prayer. Tell Him your situation; search out His promises, and then boldly ask for their fulfillment. This is the best, surest, and quickest way to find relief.

The heart is so naturally corrupt that love for God was never found there until the Lord Himself planted it. If I saw a rare and beautiful flower growing in a rugged hedge, I would know it came from some garden nearby; and so it is with love for God—its
seed comes from God’s love for us. It doesn’t spring up like a weed in the field but is sown by the Lord’s own hand. You can be absolutely certain that God loves you if you love Him.
