2 Corinthians 6:5
These verses are Paul's spiritual diary; they describe the outward hardships which proved the hotbed for the graces of the Spirit -- the working together of outward hardships and inward grace. Imprisonments, tumults, labors -- these are all things in the external life. "In tumults" -- watch a boiling pot and you will know what tumult means; in that condition draw on the grace of God now. Don't say, "I will endure it till I can get away and pray"; draw now; it is the most practical thing on earth.
Whenever you are going through any tribulation that tears, don't pray about it, but draw on the grace of God now. The exercise of prayer is the work of drawing now. (The Quotable Oswald Chambers)
