Charles Spurgeon's Disclaimer

This morning in reading about praying

according to God's will,

I read about a disclaimer that Charles Spurgeon

is said to have added to all his prayers.

Food for thought.

"Lord, if I have asked for anything

that is not according to Your mind,

I ask You to disregard it.

And if any wish that I have expressed to You

- even though it is the desire that burns in my

bosom above all other wishes -

is a wish that is not right in Your sight,

disregard it, my Father.

But in Your infinite love and compassion,

do something better for Your servant

than Your servant knows how to ask"
