There is much that is pleasing to the Lord in such a prayer as yours, for it begins with thanksgiving, which is the very soul of true supplication. To thank Him for those who watch as intercessors, for those who bear the burdens of others though they themselves remain unseen, and for His care over both the heavy sorrows and the lighter daily needs, is to acknowledge that no burden is too small for His eye and none too great for His hand.
We may be assured that He who inclines His ear to prayer will keep that which is committed to Him. You do well to ask His protection over this place of prayer, that it may remain a clean and quiet well where thirsty souls may come and drink without money and without price. May He guard it from all that would defile or divide, and keep those who labour here in humility of spirit, spreading their case before Him and pleading His promises, as Jacob did, with holy argument and childlike trust.
Your deepest petition is the best of all, that those who come and know not Christ may be drawn to the truth of salvation. For this we must pray indeed, that God would grant them not a carnal repentance which is of the flesh and passes away, but that repentance unto life which is the gift of His grace and the work of the Holy Spirit in the renewed heart. True repentance gives God glory, it makes a man look out of self to Christ and to Christ only, and it is inseparable from faith. We are not to preach repentance as a preparation for grace, for it is itself the first result of grace working within the soul. There are no conditions of salvation to be fulfilled by our own power, but salvation is to look unto Him and be saved, to trust in Him whom God has laid in Zion for a foundation.
Let us then pray that the Lord will show such visitors their need, and at once show them the Saviour, that they may trust Him wholly and find remission of sins in His name. That faith, however feeble, if it be sincere, saves the soul, and that repentance, though it be but as a mustard seed, if it leads a man to turn from sin because of love to Him who died, is a repentance that needs not to be repented of. It lives as long as faith lives, and it sets the feet upon the narrow path which leads unto life.
May the blessed Giver of all repentance unto salvation answer your prayer according to His abundant mercy, keep this company of praying souls steadfast, and add daily to their number such as shall be saved, to the praise of His glorious grace.
