ENCOURAGEMENT FOR PASTORS (BY SPURGEON) LONG DAYS AND NIGHT PRAYER


When our Lord Jesus had a long day’s work, he was found taking a long night’s prayer.

 

“I have so much to do,” says one, “that I could not be long in prayer.” That is putting the case upside-down. When you have most to do, you have most need to pray; and unless you keep up the proportion, your offering will fail in quality. The holy incense was sweet before God because, in that sacred compound, there was a proportion of each spice; and so in our lives, there must be a due measure of Word, work, prayer, and praise. Prayer can never be in excess. You can salt meat too much, but you cannot salt your service too much with prayer. If you are accustomed to praying in your walk and work, at all hours and seasons, you do not err. There never will be in any of us a superfluity of devotion. God help you to be like his Son, who, though he was sent, and had the Father with him, yet could not live without prayer. May you not only feel your need for prayer but fill up that need abundantly!
