“We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.” Oswald Chambers

Amen. I have been trying to work on that. Prayer on the offense, instead of just prayer on the defense. Asking the Lord what I need to pray for for that day. It is so cool when He answers - yesterday I prayed a specific prayer and saw it specifically answered. Thank you, Lord!
ReplyDeletePrayer is a funny thing. Just when I think I've got the hang of it, I learn something new.
