Let us agonize in prayer.

The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The cry of a young raven is nothing but the natural cry of a creature, but your cry, if it be sincere, is the result of a work of grace in your heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.

The old, old gospel is the newest thing in the world in its very essence it is for ever good news.

To a hungry man, Christ is very lovely when He has a loaf of bread in His hand.

If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it.
