Oswald Chambers: Prayer - A Holy Occupation

Day 15 of 30 If our Father knows what we need before we ask, why ask? The point of prayer is not in order to get answers from God; prayer is perfect and complete oneness with God. If we pray because we want answers, we will get huffed with God. The answers come every time, but not always in the way we expect, and our spiritual huff shows a refusal to identify ourselves with our Lord in prayer. Children of God never pray to be conscious that God answers prayer, because they are so restfully certain that God always does answer prayer. Reflection Questions: How do I respond when God does not answer as I expect? Do I accept His answer willingly or grudgingly?
