Oswald Chambers: Prayer - A Holy Occupation

DAY 5 OF 30

Beware of imagining that intercession means bringing our personal sympathies into the presence of God and demanding that He do what we ask. Our approach to God is due entirely to the vicarious identification of our Lord with sin.

Intellect and prayer are united in the saint in the consciousness of Christ which we share, consequently the consciousness of self-realization is a perversion and a snare.

Reflection Questions: Do my prayers sound like an employee asking for a raise? How should my relationship with God be different from that of an employee?
