    In all churches that are not fully bound and bound by liturgies and rituals, it has been common to hold meetings for social prayer.
    We call them prayer meetings.

    Now, it may be profitable, from time to time, to look at some of our institutions, see if they are scriptural to realize their defects, see in what sense they can be improved or observe their merits so that we can be further induced to carry them .

    The subject of this message was suggested by the fact that we will meet for a day of prayer tomorrow, it is the prayer meetings assemblies of the people of God for worship of this peculiar kind that consists of each expressing his desire before the Lord. Let me share with you this message

    Charles H. Spurgeon

    Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers." He preached his first sermon, from 1 Peter 2:7, in 1851 at 16 and became pastor of the Church in Waterbeach in 1852. He published more than 1,900 different sermons and preached to around 10,000,000 people during his lifetime. In addition, Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, poetry, hymnist and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were later translated into many languages. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.

      SUMMARY

      PREFACE

      THE APOSTOLIC HISTORY OF MEETINGS FOR PRAYER

      WHAT ARE THE USES OF THE PRAYER MEETING?

      WHAT ARE THE HINDRANCES TO THE PRAYER MEETING?

      WHAT SHOULD BE THE GREAT OBJECTIVE OF THE PRAYER MEETING AND THAT FOR WHICH WE SHOULD SEEK THE ANSWER?

      PREPARING FOR THE WEEK OF PRAYER

      PRAYER MEETINGS

      These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication. Acts 1:14.

      IN all those churches which are not altogether tied and bound by liturgies and rituals, it has been common to hold meetings for social prayer.

      We call them prayer meetings.

      Now, it may be profitable, now and then, to look over some of our institutions, to see whether they are Scriptural to notice their defects, to see in what respect they may be improved, or to observe their merits that we may be induced still further to carry them on.

      The subject, therefore, this evening, suggested to me by the fact that we are going to meet for a day of prayer tomorrow, is that of prayer meetings assemblies of the people of God for worship of that peculiar kind which consists in each one expressing his desire before the Lord. Let us, then, go through very briefly.

      THE APOSTOLIC HISTORY OF MEETINGS FOR PRAYER

      These meetings must have been very common, indeed. They were, doubtless, everyday things, but still there are some few records of the facts connected with them which may be instructive.

      The first meeting for prayer which we find after our Lord’s ascension to heaven is the one mentioned in the text and we are led from it to remark that united prayer is the comfort of a disconsolate Church. Can you judge of the sorrow which filled the hearts of the disciples when their Lord was gone from them?

      They were an army without a leader, a flock without a shepherd, a family without a head. Exposed to innumerable trials, the strong, brazen wall of His presence, which had been round about them, was now withdrawn. In the deep desolation of their spirits they resorted to prayer.

      They were like a flock of sheep that will huddle together in a storm, or come closer, each to its fellow, when they hear the sound of the wolf. Poor defenseless creatures as they were, they yet loved to come together and would die together if necessary.

      They felt that nothing made them so happy, nothing so emboldened them, nothing so strengthened them to bear their daily difficulties as to draw near to God in common supplication! Beloved, let every church learn the value of its prayer meetings in its dark hours! When the pastor is dead, and when it has been difficult to find a suitable successor.

      When, it may
