Today’s Quote
Prayer is the key to Heaven’s treasures, and faith turns the key.
— Thomas Watson
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Prayer is like the sound of angel wings bringing us blessings from Heaven. Have you felt prayer in your heart? Then you will see the blessings in your life. When the chariots of blessings are on their way, their wheels make the sound of prayer. We hear the prayer in our own spirits, and that prayer becomes
the sign of the coming blessings. Just as clouds foretell rain, prayer foretells the blessings to come; just as the green blade of a plant is the beginning of the harvest, so is prayer the promise of the blessing that is about to arrive.

When Cyrus showed one of his guests around his garden, the guest admired it greatly and said he enjoyed it. "Ah," said Cyrus, "but you don’t enjoy this garden as much as I do, because I planted every tree here myself." Our Lord takes great delight in
His church because He has done so much for it. And one reason why certain saints will have a greater share in Heaven than others is because they helped to bring more souls to Heaven.

Spurgeon’s Quote
True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that—it is spiritual communion with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
