"Continue in Prayer" -colossians 4:2 Spurgeons Morning & Evening for 2 Jan It is interesting to remark how large a portion of the scriptures is occupied with the subject of prayer, either in furnishing examples, enforcing precepts, or pronouncing promises. We scarcely open the Bible before we read, "Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord," and just as we are about to close the volume, the "Amen" of an earnest supplication meets our ear. The instances are plentiful. here we find a wrestling Jacab, there a Daniel who prayed three times a day, and there a David who with all his heart called upon his God. On the mountain we see Elias, in the dungeon Paul and Silas. We have multitudes of commands, and myraids of promises. What does this teach us, but the sacred importance and necessity of prayer? We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives. If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it. So deep are our needs, that we must not cease to pray until we are in heaven. Do you want nothing? Then, I fear you do not know your poverty. Have you no mercy to ask of God? Then may the Lord's mercy show you your misery! A prayerless soul is a Christless soul. Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint. It is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honor of a Christian. If you are a child of God, you will seek your Father's face and live in your Father's love. Pray that this year you may be holy, humble, zealour, and patient, have closer communion with Christ, and enter oftener into the banqueting house of His love. Pray that you may be an example and a blessing to others, and that you may live more to the glory of your Master. The motto for this year must be "Continue in prayer."

What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?... Lord, that I may receive my sight. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.-The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,... shall teach you all things.-Every good and perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory,... give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in theknowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.
