Oswald Chambers: Prayer - A Holy Occupation

DAY 27 OF 30

Thinking is the habit of expressing what moves our spirit. In order to think we must concentrate. Thinking is a purely physical process. No one can tell us how to begin to think, all they can do is to tell us what happens when we do think.
The inattentive, slovenly way we drift into the presence of God is an indication that we are not bothering to think about Him.

Interest is natural, attention must be by effort. One of the great needs of the Christian life is to have a place where we deliberately attend to realities. That is the real meaning of prayer.

Reflection Questions: Do my prayers consist only of what I am personally interested in? When I pray, do I think about God or about myself?
