Are We Prepared To Pray - Oswald Chambers

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 ESV)
 

The majority of us are too indifferent, too religiously sentimental to be caught up in the sweep of the Apostle Paul's intercession. Have we a lesser idea than that God should do in us what he wants to do? Are we prepared to pray with Murray McCheyne, "Lord, make me as holy as Thou canst make a sinner saved by grace"?
