Our Lord never referred to unanswered prayer. He taught that prayers are always answered: โEveryone who asks receivesโ. And He implied that prayers are answered rightly because of the heavenly Father's wisdom: โYour Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Himโ.
Oswald ChambersLet the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to "go out" in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to "go out" through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in your faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.
Oswald ChambersOur Lord did not say it was wrong to pray in the corners of the street, but He did say it was wrong to have the motive to "be seen of men".
Oswald ChambersGodโs training is for now, not presently. His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. we have nothing to do with the afterwards of obedience; we can get it wrong when we think of the afterwards. what men call training and preparation, God calls the endโฆ if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment is precious.
Oswald ChambersOne of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, 'What do you expect to do?' You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......Hav e you been asking what God is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do. He reveals to you who he is.
