Motivational Quotes
Prayer
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.
Best Quotes about Prayer
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.
Cohen, Leonard
Religion is in the heart, not in the knees.
Jerrold, Douglas William
When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don't, they don't.
Temple, Sir William
My prayer to God is a very short one: O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous! God has granted it.
Voltaire
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, S°ren
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
One single grateful thought raised to heaven is the most perfect prayer.
G. E. Lessing
It is from prayer that the spirit's victory springs.
Schillerbuch
Ask God's blessing on your work, but don't ask him to do it for you.
Robson, Dame Flora
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
Ask God for what man can give, and you may get it.
Proverb, English
Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God.
Pilgrim, Peace
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
Battering the gates of heaven with the storms of prayer.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
Short prayers reach heaven.
Proverb
Spiritual favors are not always to be looked for, and not always to be relied on.
Barr, Amelia E.
There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Hugo, Victor
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
Eckhart, Meister
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
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish
A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Gotthold
If I regard wickedness in my heart the Lord will not hear. [Psalms 66:18]
Bible
You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences.
Constantine Peter Cavafy
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Augustine, St.
The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.
Baudelaire, Charles
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
The influence of prayer on the human mind and body is as demonstrable as that of secreting glands. Its results can be measured in terms of increased physical buoyancy, greater intellectual vigor, moral stamina, and a deeper understanding of the realities underlying human relationships.
Carrel, Dr. Alex
Prayer is a passport to heaven. Your communication with God.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Gandhi, Mahatma
Heaven grant that the burden you carry may have as easy an exit as it had an entrance. [Prayer To A Pregnant Woman]
Erasmus, Desiderius
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
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. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.
Phillips Brooks
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.
The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
Your prayer must be for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it.
Taylor, Jeremy
If this obstacle is from Thee, Lord, I accept it; but if it is from Satan, I refuse him and all his works in the name of Calvary.
Kuhn, Isobel
Common people do not pray; they only beg.
Shaw, George Bernard
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
Hippocrates
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
Herbert, George
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.
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
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
No one can pray well, but those who live well.
Proverb
So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Bible
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
Prayer is less about changing the world than it is about changing ourselves.
Wolpe, David J.
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.
Pray that you will never have to bear all that you are able to endure.
Proverb, Jewish
