Quoteworthy - Oswald Chambers on Prayer

The time a Christian gives to prayer and communion with God is not meant for his natural life, but it meant to nourish the life of the Son of God in him.


God engineers the circumstances of His saints in order that the Spirit may use them as the praying house of the Son of God. If you are spiritual the Holy Spirit is offering up prayers in your bodily temple that you know nothing about; it is the Spirit making intercession in you.   -- Oswald Chambers

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now he who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  Romans 8:26-27
