Prayer

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

Best Quotes about Prayer

1.
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

2.
The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

3.
Short prayers reach heaven.
Proverb

4.
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

5.
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Tupper, Martin

6.
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
Hippocrates

7.
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

8.
It is from prayer that the spirit's victory springs.
Schillerbuch

9.
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

10.
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

11.
So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Bible

12.
Pray. To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.
Bierce, Ambrose

13.
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.

14.
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

15.
Prayer is less about changing the world than it is about changing ourselves.
Wolpe, David J.

16.
When we take one step toward to God, he takes seven steps toward us.
Proverb, Indian

17.
There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Hugo, Victor

18.
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.

19.
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

20.
Pray that you will never have to bear all that you are able to endure.
Proverb, Jewish

21.
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish

22.
We know little of the things for which we pray.
Chaucer, Geoffrey

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

25.
Your prayer must be for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

26.
The object of most prayers is to wangle an advance on good intentions.
Brault, Robert

27.
Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God.
Pilgrim, Peace

28.
Pray for what you want, but work for what you need.

29.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Augustine, St.

30.
Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it.
Taylor, Jeremy

31.
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.

32.
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.

33.
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

34.
There are few men who dare to publish to the world the prayers they make to Almighty God.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

35.
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

36.
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.

37.
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
Eckhart, Meister

38.
Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee.
Hemingway, Ernest

39.
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

40.
If you can't pray a door open, don't pry it open.
Rader, Lyell

41.
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

42.
Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.
Pusey, Edward Bouverie

43.
A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Gotthold

44.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Gandhi, Mahatma

45.
A childish soul not inoculated with compulsory prayer is a soul open to any religious infection.
Cockburn, Alexander

46.
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
Oscar Wilde

47.
Why is it when we talk to God, we're praying, but when God talks to us, we're schizophrenic?
Tomlin, Lily

48.
Do not make prayer a monologue -- make it a conversation.

49.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
Franklin, Benjamin

50.
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
