This is the title of yesterday's reading in My Utmost for His Highest. There was a section of it that really hit home, and I was still thinking of it today. I was using it to comfort myself about my weariness over searching for a new church home. Then, today, I got word that two dear friends needed prayer. One, for her aging mother who has just suffered a stroke. Another, for strength through spiritual oppression. Suddenly, my "complaints" paled in comparison. The exhortations from Oswald Chambers were nonetheless true for any of us, though:
"Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer."
