Recently, I subscribed to yet another email list. This one I think I’ll like. It’s daily prayers and devotionals from one Charles Spurgeon, the late great preacher and theologian from the 19th century. Here’s one that caught my attention:

“Lord, you have heard our prayers, even when we have hardly thought they could be answered. We have been unbelieving, but you have been faithful. We have been undeserving, but your grace has never failed. There are many of us who have known you now as long as Israel knew you in the wilderness, these forty years, and never once have you failed to keep your promise or to remember your people for good.

May our faith grow exceedingly. May we that have had experience of your goodness, feel ashamed to ever entertain a doubt, and when the dark thought ever crosses our mind which would make us mistrust, may we chase it as a strange and vain thought, which must not even lodge, much less dwell, within our hearts.

Amen.“

May that be the prayer of your heart to remind you that God is always faithful even when we’re not. God is still a promise keeper.
