Best Quotes about Prayer

1.
Father in Heaven! When the thought of thee wakes in our hearts let it not awaken like a frightened bird that flies about in dismay, but like a child waking from its sleep with a heavenly smile.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

2.
Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.
Gandhi, Mahatma

3.
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca

4.
There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
Saint Theresa of Jesus

5.
When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don't, they don't.
Temple, Sir William

6.
Ask God for what man can give, and you may get it.
Proverb, English

7.
To pray is to pay attention to something or someone other than oneself. Whenever a man so concentrates his attention -- on a landscape, a poem, a geometrical problem, an idol, or the True God -- that he completely forgets his own ego and desires, he is praying. The primary task of the schoolteacher is to teach children, in a secular context, the technique of prayer.
Auden, W. H.

8.
If I regard wickedness in my heart the Lord will not hear. [Psalms 66:18]
Bible

9.
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
Herbert, George

10.
Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God.
Pilgrim, Peace

11.
Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you, but I will instruct you in the good and right way. [I Samuel 12:23]
Bible

12.
We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.
West, Charles C.

13.
Why is it when we talk to God, we're praying, but when God talks to us, we're schizophrenic?
Tomlin, Lily

14.
Indeed many things which we shall not be able to discover either by the experiment of works or by the investigations of reason we shall deserve to be taught by importunate prayer, by the revelation of divine inspiration.
Richard of Saint Victor

15.
Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man's spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.
Eddy, Mary Baker

16.
A simple grateful thought turned heavenwards is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Doris

17.
Your prayer must be for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

18.
If you can't pray a door open, don't pry it open.
Rader, Lyell

19.
The time to pray is not when we are in a tight spot but just as soon as we get out of it.
Josh Billings

20.
Your cravings as a human animal do not become a prayer just because it is God whom you ask to attend to them.
Hammarskjold, Dag

21.
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
Oscar Wilde

22.
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Tupper, Martin

23.
Religion is in the heart, not in the knees.
Jerrold, Douglas William

24.
More than once I had seen a noble who had gotten his enemy at a disadvantage stop to pray before cutting his throat.
Twain, Mark

25.
One hour in the execution of justice is worth seventy years of prayer.
Proverb

26.
We are all weak, finite, simple human beings, standing in the need of prayer. None need it so much as those who think they are strong, those who know it not, but are deluded by self-sufficiency.
Phillips, Harold C.

27.
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish

28.
Seven days without prayer makes one weak.

29.
Pray that you will never have to bear all that you are able to endure.
Proverb, Jewish

30.
You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences.
Constantine Peter Cavafy

31.
Prayer is a passport to heaven. Your communication with God.

32.
When we take one step toward to God, he takes seven steps toward us.
Proverb, Indian

33.
It is good to pray for the repair of mistakes, but praying earlier would keep us from making so many. When puzzled, go to prayer and listen.
Macaulay, J. C.

34.
Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inwards in prayer for five short minutes.
Hillesum, Etty

35.
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Brooks, Phillips

36.
Short prayers reach heaven.
Proverb

37.
That prayer has great power which a person makes with all his might. It makes a sour heart sweet, a sad heart merry, a poor heart rich, a foolish heart wise, a timid heart brave, a sick heart well, a blind heart full of sight, a cold heart ardent. It draws down the great God into the little heart; it drives the hungry soul up into the fullness of God; it brings together two lovers, God and the soul, in a wondrous place where they speak much of love.
Magheburg, Mechthild of

38.
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
Hippocrates

39.
The wish to pray is a prayer in itself. God can ask no more than that of us.
Bernanos, Georges

40.
God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers and thrust the thing we have prayed for in our face, like a gauntlet with a gift in it.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

41.
Do not ask for what you will wish you had not got.
Seneca

42.
My prayer to God is a very short one: O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous! God has granted it.
Voltaire

43.
Pray for what you want, but work for what you need.

44.
The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.
Lawrence, Brother

45.
Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks. [I Thessalonians]
Bible

46.
Pray to God but continue to row to the shore.
Proverb, Russian

47.
All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother. I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
Lincoln, Abraham

48.
Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.
Graham, Ruth

49.
Do not make prayer a monologue -- make it a conversation.

50.
But if it were I, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before Him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. [Job 5:8-9]
Bible
