Oswald Chambers: Prayer - A Holy OccupationSýnishorn
You say, “But I asked God to turn my life into a garden of the Lord, and there came the ploughshare of sorrow, and instead of a garden I have been given a wilderness.” God never gives a wrong answer. The garden of your natural life had to be turned into ploughed soil before God could turn it into a garden of the Lord. He will put the seed in now. Let God’s seasons come over your soul, and before long your life will be a garden of the Lord.
By means of intercession we understand more and more the way God solves the problems produced in our minds by the conflict of actual facts and our real faith in God.
Reflection Question: When my life is as barren as a recently plowed field, do I let the enemy come along and plant weeds before God plants His crop?
