Quotes by Oswald Chambers  (?)

“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

“If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.”
Oswald Chambers

“Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.”
Oswald Chambers
