“Are we not getting weary of living in this world among so many who are going to hell? Is it not terrible to think that

after all the church is doing, thousands are being lost every day? We ought to bestir ourselves for men’s souls,

and we cannot do better for them than by praying for them. Let us, therefore, bestir ourselves in prayer.”

Charles H. Spurgeon, The Power of Prayer in a Believer’s Life, 191
