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.
- Magheburg, Mechthild of

Best Quotes about Prayer

1.
Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.
Socrates

2.
My prayer to God is a very short one: O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous! God has granted it.
Voltaire

3.
Pray that you will never have to bear all that you are able to endure.
Proverb, Jewish

4.
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
Gandhi, Mahatma

5.
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca

6.
Prayer is not a substitute for work, thinking, watching, suffering, or giving; prayer is a support for all other efforts.
Buttrick, George

7.
Battering the gates of heaven with the storms of prayer.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred

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

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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal

13.
Prayer is a passport to heaven. Your communication with God.

14.
Prayer is talking with God and telling Him you love Him, conversing with God about all the things that are important in life, both large and small, and being assured that He is listening.
Strait, C. Neil

15.
Religion is in the heart, not in the knees.
Jerrold, Douglas William

16.
Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.
Pusey, Edward Bouverie

17.
Answered prayers cause more tears than those that remain unanswered.
Teresa of Avila, St.

18.
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
Hippocrates

19.
One hour in the execution of justice is worth seventy years of prayer.
Proverb

20.
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

21.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Gandhi, Mahatma

22.
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

23.
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

24.
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
Peale, Norman Vincent

25.
Do not ask for what you will wish you had not got.
Seneca

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Do not make prayer a monologue -- make it a conversation.

29.
We know little of the things for which we pray.
Chaucer, Geoffrey

30.
Pray to God but continue to row to the shore.
Proverb, Russian

31.
Prayer is less about changing the world than it is about changing ourselves.
Wolpe, David J.

32.
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

33.
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

34.
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.

35.
A childish soul not inoculated with compulsory prayer is a soul open to any religious infection.
Cockburn, Alexander

36.
No one can pray well, but those who live well.
Proverb

37.
Don't put people down, unless it's on your prayer list.
Michalski, Stan

38.
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

39.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
Franklin, Benjamin

40.
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.

41.
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

42.
Practical prayer is harder on the soles of your shoes than on the knees of your trousers.
O'Malley, Austin

43.
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

44.
There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
Saint Theresa of Jesus

45.
There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Hugo, Victor

46.
When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don't, they don't.
Temple, Sir William

47.
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish

48.
You can pray for someone even if you don't think God exists.
Real Live Preacher

49.
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

50.
Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.
Graham, Ruth
