Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not: but immediately we arise we find He is there.
Oswald Chambers
Image
To be 'in the will of God' is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart.
Oswald Chambers

If we were never depressed we would not be alive - only material things don't suffer depression. If human beings were not capable of depression, we would have no capacity for happiness and exaltation. Whenever you examine yourself, take into your capacity for depression.

Obey God in the things he shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already...this chapter brings out the delight of real friendship with God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The secret of the missionary is...I am His, and He is carrying out His work through me.
Oswald Chambers

We are here for God's designs, not for our own
Oswald Chambers

A man ceases to be an honest doubter the moment he refuses one way of getting at the truth because he does not like that way.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Adam was created to be the friend and companion of God, he was to have dominion over all the life in the air and earth and sea, but one thing he was not to have dominion over, and that was himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.
