“It is not so true that ‘prayer changes things’ as that prayer changes me and I change things.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
Oswald Chambers’ wisdom is recorded in My Utmost for His Highest and a few other books. His words, which have changed so many people, wouldn’t be available to us if his sweet wife (a whiz at shorthand) hadn’t taken down his messages word-for-word. He became famous only after his death, when she transcribed and published her notes.
How much prayer went into his messages and her notes? I assume that prayer changed them both. And we are changed.
