  16 Copy quote

• Prayer is the practice of drawing on the grace of God. Don't say, "I will endure this until I can get away and pray." Pray now - draw on the grace of God in your moment of need. Prayer is the most normal and useful thing; it is not simply a reflex action of your devotion to God. We are very slow to learn to draw on God's grace through prayer.

  Oswald Chambers

  Prayer, Drawing, Practice

  17 Copy quote

• I am called to live in such a perfect relationship with God that my life produces a yearning for God in the lives of others, not admiration for myself. Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God. God’s purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.

  Oswald Chambers

  Perfect, Purpose, Use

  Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.693, Discovery House

  5 Copy quote

• Are you debating whether you should take a step of faith in Jesus, or whether you should wait until you can clearly see how to do what He has asked? Simply obey Him with unrestrained joy. When He tells you something and you begin to debate, it is because you have a misunderstanding of what honors Him and what doesn't. Are you faithful to Jesus, or faithful to your ideas about Him?

  Oswald Chambers

  Faith, Jesus, Inspiration

  Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.195, Discovery House

• If you yourself do not cut the lines that tie you to the dock, God will have to use a storm to sever them and to send you out to sea.

  Beware of paying attention or going back to what you once were, when God wants you to be something that you have never been.

  Oswald Chambers

  Spiritual, Cutting, Past

  23 Copy quote

• If we pray only because we want answers, we will become irritated and angry with God. We receive an answer every time we pray, but it does not always come in the way we expect, and our spiritual irritation shows our refusal to identify ourselves truly with our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove that God answers prayer, but to be living trophies of God’s grace.

  Oswald Chambers

  Spiritual, Prayer, Irritation

  Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.456, Discovery House

  7 Copy quote

• To say that 'prayer changes things' is not as close to the truth as saying, 'prayer changes me and then I change things.' God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.

  Oswald Chambers

  Change, Faith, God

  Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.501, Discovery House

• So many of us limit our praying because we are not reckless in our confidence in God. In the eyes of those who do not know God, it is madness to trust Him, but when we pray in the Holy Spirit we begin to realize the resources of God, that He is our perfect heavenly Father, and we are His children.

  Oswald Chambers

  Children, Father, Eye
