Prayer Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Prayer

1.
Prayer is a passport to heaven. Your communication with God.

2.
The wish to pray is a prayer in itself. God can ask no more than that of us.
Bernanos, Georges

3.
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

4.
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you'd laugh and say nothing that simple, but you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door though no one's got the guts to leave the temple.
Townsend, Peter

5.
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

6.
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

7.
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
Eckhart, Meister

8.
One hour in the execution of justice is worth seventy years of prayer.
Proverb

9.
Battering the gates of heaven with the storms of prayer.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred

10.
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

11.
The fates are not quite obdurate; they have a grim, sardonic way of granting them who supplicate the thing they wanted yesterday.
Montgomery, Roselle Mercier

12.
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

13.
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
Gandhi, Mahatma

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.
So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Bible

16.
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

17.
Take God for your spouse and friend and walk with him continually, and you will not sin and will learn to love, and the things you must do will work out prosperously for you.
John of the Cross, St.

18.
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Tupper, Martin

19.
Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God.
Pilgrim, Peace

20.
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish

21.
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Gandhi, Mahatma

22.
Do not make prayer a monologue -- make it a conversation.

23.
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.

24.
Our thanks to God should always precede our requests.

25.
When a man has done all he can do, still there is a mighty, mysterious agency over which he needs influence to secure success. The one way he can reach it is by prayer.
Conwell, Russel H.

26.
A simple grateful thought turned heavenwards is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Doris

27.
Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us.
Selden, John

28.
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

29.
When you lie down with a short prayer, commit yourself into the hands of your Creator; and when you have done so, trust Him with yourself, as you must do when you are dying.
Taylor, Jeremy

30.
Common people do not pray; they only beg.
Shaw, George Bernard

31.
Short prayers reach heaven.
Proverb

32.
Prayer is not a substitute for work, thinking, watching, suffering, or giving; prayer is a support for all other efforts.
Buttrick, George

33.
Ask God for what man can give, and you may get it.
Proverb, English

34.
No one can pray well, but those who live well.
Proverb

35.
The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

36.
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

37.
Prayer is less about changing the world than it is about changing ourselves.
Wolpe, David J.

38.
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.
Milton, John

39.
Answered prayers cause more tears than those that remain unanswered.
Teresa of Avila, St.

40.
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
Peale, Norman Vincent

41.
Seven days without prayer makes one weak.

42.
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
Oscar Wilde

43.
Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks. [I Thessalonians]
Bible

44.
You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences.
Constantine Peter Cavafy

45.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Augustine, St.

46.
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.

47.
To be sure, this requires effort and love, a careful cultivation of the spiritual life, and a watchful, honest, active oversight of all one's mental attitudes towards things and people. It is not to be learned by world-flight, running away from things, turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, one must learn an inner solitude, where or with whomsoever he may be. He must learn to penetrate things and find God there, to get a strong impression of God firmly fixed on his mind.
Eckhart, Meister

48.
Ask God's blessing on your work, but don't ask him to do it for you.
Robson, Dame Flora

49.
The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.
Baudelaire, Charles

50.
Your prayer must be for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
