Best Quotes about Prayer
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
If I regard wickedness in my heart the Lord will not hear. [Psalms 66:18]
Bible
Ask God for what man can give, and you may get it.
Proverb, English
Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.
Cohen, Leonard
Our thanks to God should always precede our requests.
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
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
Herbert, George
Battering the gates of heaven with the storms of prayer.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
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
Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.
Socrates
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Augustine, St.
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
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
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
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.
Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.
Graham, Ruth
No one can pray well, but those who live well.
Proverb
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
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
My prayer to God is a very short one: O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous! God has granted it.
Voltaire
Do not ask for what you will wish you had not got.
Seneca
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.
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.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Gandhi, Mahatma
Don't put people down, unless it's on your prayer list.
Michalski, Stan
Seven days without prayer makes one weak.
Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.
Pusey, Edward Bouverie
Pray to God but continue to row to the shore.
Proverb, Russian
A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Gotthold
Religion is in the heart, not in the knees.
Jerrold, Douglas William
Ask God's blessing on your work, but don't ask him to do it for you.
Robson, Dame Flora
A childish soul not inoculated with compulsory prayer is a soul open to any religious infection.
Cockburn, Alexander
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
Prayer is not a substitute for work, thinking, watching, suffering, or giving; prayer is a support for all other efforts.
Buttrick, George
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
The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.
Baudelaire, Charles
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
Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it.
Taylor, Jeremy
Pray for what you want, but work for what you need.
Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon.
Gide, Andre
Pray. To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.
Bierce, Ambrose
You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences.
Constantine Peter Cavafy
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
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
You can pray for someone even if you don't think God exists.
Real Live Preacher
Why is it when we talk to God, we're praying, but when God talks to us, we're schizophrenic?
Tomlin, Lily
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca
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
You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal
