Prayer gives a channel to the pent-up sorrows of the soul, they flow away, and in their stead streams of sacred delight pour into the heart.
Charles SpurgeonWe are not to be alarmed when Satan hinders us, for it is proof that we are on the Lord's side and are doing the Lord's work. In His strength, we will win the victory and triumph over our adversary.
Charles SpurgeonYou are as much serving God in looking after your own children, & training them up in Godโs fear, & minding the house, & making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts.
Charles SpurgeonGive yourself unto reading. The man who never reads will never be read; he who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other menโs brains, proves that he has no brains of his own. You need to read. . . . We are quite persuaded that the very best way for you to be spending your leisure time, is to be either reading or praying. You may get much instruction from books which afterwards you may use as a true weapon in your Lord and Masterโs service. Paul cries, โBring the booksโ โ join in the cry.
