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.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
Speak, Lord” make time to listen. Chastening is more than a means of discipline, it is meant to get me to the place of saying, “Speak, Lord.”
Oswald Chambers
We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace.
Oswald Chambers
God's training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.
Oswald Chambers
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
Oswald Chambers
Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action.
Oswald Chambers
Live in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He decides.
Oswald Chambers
Be rightly related to God, find your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water.
Oswald Chambers
The sympathy which is reverent with what it cannot understand is worth its weight in gold.
Oswald Chambers
The truth is we have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome because He is all in all and we are more than conquerors through Him.
Oswald Chambers
The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.
Oswald Chambers
We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.
Oswald Chambers
To be 'in the will of God' is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart.
Oswald Chambers
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
Oswald Chambers
Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.
Oswald Chambers
Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God.
Oswald Chambers
Jesus Christ has undertaken by His redemption to put in me a heart so pure that God can see nothing to censure.
Oswald Chambers
Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing.
Oswald Chambers
God does not further our spiritual life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.
Oswald Chambers
What a blessed habit I have found my prayer list, morning by morning, it takes me via the Throne of all Grace straight to the intimate personal heart of each one mentioned here, and I know that He Who is not prescribed by time and geography answers immediately.
Oswald Chambers
Repentance always brings a person to the point of saying, “I have sinned.” The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes-a reflex action caused by self-disgust.
Oswald Chambers
