Charles Spurgeon: “A Prayer for Holiness” (Part 4)

We ask You, help us to adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things. If we are fighting against sin–“the sin which easily beset us” (Hebrews 12:12)–Lord, lend us heavenly weapons and heavenly strength so that we may cut the giants down, these men of Anak that come against us. (See Numbers 13:33) We fell very feeble. Oh make us “strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10).

May we never let sin have any rest in us. May we chase it, drive it out, slay it, hang it on a tree, abhor it, and may we “cleave to that which is good” (Romans 12:9).
