Written by Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), an English Baptist preacher, known as “the Prince of Preachers.”
Lord, help me to glorify thee. I am poor, help me to glorify thee by contentment. I am sick, help me to give thee honor by patience. I have talents, help me to extol thee by spending them for thee. I have time, Lord, help me to redeem it, that I may serve thee. I have a heart to feel, Lord, let that heart feel no love but thine, and glow with no flame but affection for thee. I have a head to think, Lord, help me to think of thee and for thee. Thou hast put me in this world for something, Lord; show me what that is, and help me to work out my life-purpose. Amen.
He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. [2 Timothy 3:10]
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. [Psalm 46:7]
