Magnificent Prayer #185
Magnificent Prayer #185
Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them.
Jude 22–23
Some want to live within the sound
Of church or chapel bell.
I want to run a rescue shop
Within a yard of hell.
C.T. STUDD
Pray About It: Nobody talks much about hell anymore. Satan has convinced most people, including many Christians, to disbelieve in hell or to minimize its importance. But Jesus warned about hell and so should we. May our prayers be as large heavenly hooks, snatching those we love from the destiny of hell. Your prayer closet can be that rescue shop within a yard of hell’s gates.
Today, ask yourself: Does hell know and fear you?
If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON
