Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source.

Oswald Chambers

Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way.

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Calculation God Ourselves Worry
The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God’s life in us expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Character Expression God Goodness Human Religion

If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Design Experience God Live Personal Place Understand Yourself
To say that ‘prayer changes things’ is not as close to the truth as saying, ‘prayer changes me and then I change things.’ God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Change Person Prayer Sight Truth Yourself
It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Cost Discipline Follow Insult Talk Yourself
It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Learning Ourselves Stay Teaching True
The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Fear God Remark Yourself
The more you fulfill yourself, the less you will seek God.
