Spurgeon personally, what many noticed was that he was a man of prayer. For Spurgeon, prayer was as constant and natural as breathing. Prayer was not only the breath of the soul, but also the breath of the church. Through prayer, the church was reminded of her constant dependence on God. Spurgeon not only urged his people to pray, but he also taught them to pray. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{}\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"none\"\u003eBreath of the Soul\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"none\"\u003e is a daily reminder to get your head above water and breathe again.
