The battle of prayer is against two things in the earthlies: wandering thoughts and lack of intimacy with God's character as revealed in His word. Neither can be cured at once, but they can be cured by discipline.
Oswald ChambersJesus Christ carries on intercession for us in heaven; the Holy Ghost carries on intercession in us on earth; and we the saints have to carry on intercession for all men.
Oswald ChambersFaith, as the Bible teaches it, is faith in God coming against everything that contradicts Him- a faith that says, โI will remain true to Godโs character whatever He may do.โ The highest and the greatest expression of faith in the whole Bible is- โThough He slay me, yet will I trust Himโ (Job 13:15).
