True Prayer, True Power-Charles Spurgeon
We must believe prayer to be what it is
or else it is not what it should be~
Charles Spurgeon
Each new day is like a wagon laden with want, wish and need
Trundling from the arc of heaven to the bark of word and deed
Each new day wayfarers waken to a Hand outstretched to pour
His new mercy not yet taken to we, pounding on Want’s Door
Each new day demands Full Armour where distraction’s lure is tossed
Where like modern day Gomorrah and Sodom, virtue seems lost
Each new day is weighed with reason to bow before Holiness
Lord, let not vain repetition mock you with rote emptiness
Each new day groans with important, earnest opportunity
More of faith and more of love and more of true humility
Each new day our faith has access to more than compulsion’s curse
We have access to the greatest power in the universe
Each new day, prayer is the chariot to the promises of He
Who, compelled by His own promise breathes through man, divine decree
Each new day, without exception, we may kneel before the One
Who ordained sinner’s redemption through the shed blood of His Son
Each new day, pray righteous pleasure mingles with each earnest plea
As the treasure of faith’s measure echoes through eternity
Each new day, though we may not bear witness to His full reply
Pray, lest we deny the power that no other can supply
Each new day pray; as hope’s Prancer charges from thought’s courts of clay
Already God’s perfect answer meets the whisper on its way

This is the confidence we have in approaching God:
that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15And if we know that he hears us—
whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
