If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly.

From 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:  “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

A man’s obedience is to what he sees to be a need; our Lord’s obedience was to the will of His Father.

From Hebrews 10:9-10:  “Then He added, ‘See, I have come to do Your will.’  He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. And it is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

We act like pagans in a crisis, only one out of a crowd is daring enough to bank his faith in the character of God.

From Luke 9:61-62:  “Another said, ‘I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.’  And Jesus said to him, ‘No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.'”

God does not keep a man immune from trouble; He says–“I will be with him in trouble.”

Thinking as Jesus taught

Prayer’s breath offers peace

Blood enriched in one’s heart

Light fills faith’s every piece

 

Spurring each other on

Prayer links faith as one

Devotion encouraged

God sends His blessed Son

 

Believing Father’s Word

Prayer becomes hope’s voice

Each hour, without ceasing

Shepherd’s flock shall rejoice

 

Praising Christ for His light

Prayer leads to support

Faithful mercy arrives

Answers sail to each port

 

Walking always in faith

Prayer fills lungs with joy

Conscious of Savior’s grace

Holy Spirit deploys

Jesus prayed nothing less for us than absolute oneness with Himself as He was one with the Father.

From John 17:20-21:  “I ask not only on behalf of these but also on behalf of those who believe in Me through their word, that they may all be one.  As You, Father, are in Me and I am in You, may they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.”
