Magnificent Prayer #1
Behold, I make all things new.
Revelation 21:5 KJV
If your faith in Christ doesn’t lead you to pray, then have nothing to do with it: get rid of it, and God help you to begin again.
CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON
Pray About It: The past year is over, the new year begins. As we think about the twelve months ahead, let’s invite God to oversee all that crosses our path. Let’s give Him charge over every aspect of our lives, including our prayer life.
Today, as we pray—perhaps feebly, perhaps with doubts and worries—let’s begin again. If yesterday’s faith didn’t lead us to be effective pray-ers, let’s be done with it, as Charles Haddon Spurgeon recommends. God is the God of today, not yesterday; God of the living, not the dead. His manna is always fresh and ready for the taking. His answers to our prayers are always right, always on His perfect timetable, and always for our good.
Lord Jesus, at the start of this new year, we ask for a fresh beginning. Wipe our sins away with Your precious blood. Cleanse our hearts of bitterness toward others. Help us to live each day in close communication with You, our true and faithful guide.
