Magnificent Prayer #242
He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.
Psalm 126:6
Prayer is striking the winning blow…service is gathering up the results.
S. D. GORDON
Pray About It: Make the following prayer from Charles Haddon Spurgeon your prayer today. Commit all you have to God—your time, your talents, your thoughts. Take His love as yours. Ask for clarity for your life purpose. Ask for singleness of eye. Ask how you may gather up the results of your prayers.
Lord, help me to glorify thee. I am poor, help me to glorify thee by contentment. I am sick, help me to give thee honour by patience. I have talents, help me to extol thee by spending them for thee. I have time, Lord, help me to redeem it, that I may serve thee. I have a heart to feel, Lord, let that heart feel no love but thine, and glow with no flame but affection for thee. I have a head to think, Lord, help me to think of thee and for thee. Thou hast put me in this world for something, Lord; show me what that is, and help me to work out my life-purpose.
