Oswald Chambers: Prayer - A Holy OccupationSample

The only platform from which the holiest saint on earth is ever heard is the platform mentioned in Hebrews 10:19, we have “boldness to enter the Holiest by the Blood of Jesus.” There is no other way. When we come into the presence of God, the human side of our praying makes us realize that if we are ever going to approach God and pray acceptably, it must be by the “piece of God” in us which He has given us.

It is because our Lord Jesus Christ went through the depths of agony to the last ebb in the Garden of Gethsemane, because He went through Calvary, that we can boldly enter the holy place.

Reflection Question: How can I be sure I am praying acceptably?
