Oswald Chambers: Prayer - A Holy OccupationSýnishorn
Prayer is not an emotion, not a sincere desire; prayer is the most stupendous effort of the will. “Let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which will pass all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” The power of the peace of God will enable you to steer your course in the mix-up of ordinary life.
Get into the habit of saying, “Speak, Lord,” and life will become a romance. Every time circumstances press, say, “Speak, Lord,” and make time to listen. Chastening is more than a means of discipline, it is meant to get me to the place of saying, “Speak, Lord.”
Reflection Questions: How long has it been since I’ve had peace about what God is doing in my life? Why? Am I allowing God to do what He wants to in my life?
