Oswald Chambers: Prayer - A Holy Occupation

DAY 22 OF 30

It is a mistake to interpret prayer on the natural instead of on the spiritual line, to say that because prayer brings us peace and joy and makes us feel better, therefore it is a divine thing. This is the mere accident or effect of prayer; there is no real God-given revelation in it. This is the God-given revelation: that when we are born again of the Spirit of God and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, He intercedes for us with a tenderness and an understanding akin to the Lord Jesus Christ and akin to God; that is, He expresses the unutterable for us.

Prayer is not logical, it is a mysterious moral working of the Holy Spirit.

Reflection Questions: In what areas do I assume that my feelings about an issue are God’s feelings? What should I trust instead of my feelings?
