A Sermon for the Week of Prayer (sermon 354)
This sermon on prayer is simple and scriptural, tied tightly to the text. The preacher exhorts us to continue, to watch, and to give thanks in connection with prayer. Sometimes we make prayer an exercise beyond the grasp of an 'ordinary Christian', as if one needs a special gift in order to draw near to God, or requires a certain key to open the heavenly lock. Spurgeon's points are more prosaic and straightforward: continue in prayer, watch in prayer, and give thanks in prayer. That is not to say that any of these things are easy—all require faith, all demand effort. Nevertheless, here is a prescription against prayerlessness and hopelessness and thanklessness, which ought to stir our souls to come to God, to draw near to the throne of grace persistently and consistently, with holy expectation, and with grateful hearts.
