Oswald Chambers: Prayer - A Holy Occupationಮಾದರಿ

Over and over again God has to teach us how to stand and endure, watching actively and wondering. It is always a wonder when God answers prayer. We hear people say, “We must not say it is wonderful that God answers prayer”; but it is wonderful. It is so wonderful that a great many people believe it impossible. Listen! “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do.” Isn’t that wonderful? It is so wonderful that I do not suppose more than half of us really believe it. “Everyone who asks receives.” Isn’t that wonderful? It is so wonderful that many of us have never even asked God to give us the Holy Spirit because we don’t believe He will. “If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” Isn’t that wonderful? It is tremendously wonderful.

Reflection Question: What keeps me from exercising the wonderful privilege of prayer?
