There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives.
Charles Spurgeon
Let me revel in this one thought: before God made the heavens and the earth, He set His love upon me.
Charles Spurgeon
Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Prayer is not a hard requirement - it is the natural duty of a creature to its creator, the simplest homage that human need can pay to divine liberality.
Charles Spurgeon
We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all.
Charles Spurgeon
Give because you love to give - as the flower pours forth its perfume.
Charles Spurgeon
Oh my brethren, Bold hearted men are always called mean-spirited by cowards!
Charles Spurgeon
The more holy, the more humble.
Charles Spurgeon
He who does not serve God where he is would not serve God anywhere else.
Charles Spurgeon
In all states of dilemma or of difficulty, prayer is an available source. The ship of prayer may sail through all temptations, doubts and fears, straight up to the throne of God and though she may be outward bound with only griefs, and groans, and sighs, she shall return freighted with a wealth of blessings!
Charles Spurgeon
Faith has a saving connection with Christ. Christ is on the shore, so to speak, holding the rope, and as we lay hold of it with the hand of our confidence, He pulls us to shore but all good works having no connection with Christ are drifted along down the gulf of fell despair.
Charles Spurgeon
It's a good thing God chose me before I was born, because he surely would not have afterwards.
Charles Spurgeon
The saints shall persevere in holiness, because God perseveres in grace.
Charles Spurgeon
When all else is changing within and around, in God and His mercy no change can be found.
Charles Spurgeon
So long as we are receivers of mercy, we must be givers of thanks.
Charles Spurgeon
I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.
Charles Spurgeon
A friend to everybody is often a friend to nobody, or else in his simplicity he robs his family to help strangers, and becomes brother to a beggar. There is wisdom in generosity, as in everything else.
Charles Spurgeon
In 40 years I have not spent 15 minutes without thinking of Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
Charles Spurgeon
If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.
Charles Spurgeon
