Today’s Quote
How unspeakably wonderful it is to know that all our concerns are held in those hands which bled for us!
— John Newton
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Prayer must not be our chance work, but our daily business, our habit, and vocation. As artists give themselves to their models, and poets to their classical pursuits, so must we addict ourselves to prayer. We must be immersed in prayer as in our element, and so pray without ceasing. Lord, teach us so
to pray that we may be more prevalent in supplication.
The common fault with the most of us is our readiness to yield to distractions. Our thoughts go roving hither and thither, and we make little progress towards our desired end. Like quicksilver, our mind will not hold together, but rolls off this way and that. How great an evil this is! It injures us, and, what is worse, it insults our God.

See how a babe trusts its mother; even so must we trust in Jesus. Mark how the spider drops from the ceiling and rises again by an invisible thread, so must we hang by faith upon what Christ has done, and rise to Heaven thereby. As the mariner relies
upon his compass, whose mystery he cannot solve, and the voyager in a balloon depends upon a gas which he cannot see, so must we trust in him whom having not seen we love.
