“It is a most delightful reflection that if I come to the throne of God in prayer, I may feel a thousand defects, but yet there is hope. I usually feel more dissatisfied with my prayers than with anything else I do.”

English Particular Baptist preacher

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was an English Particular Baptist preacher. He became one of the most influential Christian voices of the 19th century, and is still known in some circles as the "Prince of Preachers." He was a strong figure in the Baptist tradition, and defended the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. He also opposed the liberal and pragmatic theological trends that were taking hold in the church in his day.
