Oswald Chambers: A Man Abandoned to God

"Oswald, like many children reared in a Christian home, learned to pray at a young age. But because of his earnest faith in God, his prayers seemed to go beyond mere form. His brother Franklin described Oswald's prayers at the age of five as 'very original' and recalled times when the older children, along with their mother, would tiptoe up the stairs at night and sit quietly to hear him pray as he knelt by his bed.
"After setting his heart on having two guinea pigs, Oswald prayed each night for them and inspected the chicken run the next morning to see if they had arrived. He believed they would come because he had asked God. When the morning came that they were there, he never wondered if a family member had provided them. He simply thanked God."
