1 " But, Lord, we have yet another burden — it is that we ourselves do not love Thee as we should, "
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon , The Pastor In Prayer
2 " Lord, convert our friends that still remain unsaved. Oh mighty power of God, let none come into this house even accidentally and casually without receiving some devout impression. "
3 " Wean our heart from every creature Thee to love and Thee alone. "
4 " Lord teach us to be resigned to Thy will; teach us to delight in Thy law; teach us to have no will but Thy will; teach us to be sure that everything Thou doest is good — is the very best that can be done. "
5 " Oh to be Christly! We do desire to live on earth the life of Jesus–sent into the world by Him as He was sent into the world by the Father. "
6 " May we not be ashamed to be old fashioned and to be thought fanatical. "
7 " Yea, and those that pretend to be the ministers of the gospel are amongst the first to speak against it, and to denounce it, and to sanction license to sin because Thou wilt no more punish it, and to declare that Jesus Christ is not Thy Son. "
8 " Prosper Thy universal church. Send the preaching of the pure gospel again to the world. Silence the voices of those that are spreading infidelity and superstition and may the day come when every pulpit Shall resound with the pure gospel of Jesus Christ, and His people shall again return to their allegiance to the faith–the faith once delivered to the saints, never to swerve again. "
9 " There is scarce a single doctrine of Thy word which the wise men among us do not deny. Yea, and those that pretend to be the ministers of the gospel are amongst the first to speak against it, and to denounce it, and to sanction license to sin because Thou wilt no more punish it, and to declare that Jesus Christ is not Thy Son. "
10 " Give us more tenderness of heart, give us to feel the wounds of Jesus till they wound our sins to death. "
11 " The Lord grant that we may all of us have not only faith in Christ, but full assurance of faith, whereby we shall trust, for the present and for the future, everything in those dear hands that were nailed to the cross for us. "
