Prayer

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]

Prayer Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Prayer

1.
If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart

2.
The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.
Baudelaire, Charles

3.
A simple grateful thought turned heavenwards is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Doris

4.
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Tupper, Martin

5.
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

6.
Do not ask for what you will wish you had not got.
Seneca

7.
Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.
Pusey, Edward Bouverie

8.
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

9.
Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.
Cohen, Leonard

10.
Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.
Gandhi, Mahatma

11.
One single grateful thought raised to heaven is the most perfect prayer.
G. E. Lessing

12.
Short prayers reach heaven.
Proverb

13.
The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.
Lawrence, Brother

14.
Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness.
Gandhi, Mahatma

15.
The wish to pray is a prayer in itself. God can ask no more than that of us.
Bernanos, Georges

16.
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

17.
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.

18.
One hour in the execution of justice is worth seventy years of prayer.
Proverb

19.
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

20.
Ask God's blessing on your work, but don't ask him to do it for you.
Robson, Dame Flora

21.
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.

22.
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.
Brooks, Phillips

23.
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

24.
Your prayer must be for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

25.
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

26.
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
Oscar Wilde

27.
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

28.
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

29.
You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal

30.
Religion is in the heart, not in the knees.
Jerrold, Douglas William

31.
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

32.
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
Gandhi, Mahatma

33.
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

34.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Gandhi, Mahatma

35.
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

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.
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

38.
Battering the gates of heaven with the storms of prayer.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred

39.
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

40.
It is from prayer that the spirit's victory springs.
Schillerbuch

41.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Augustine, St.

42.
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca

43.
Prayer is a passport to heaven. Your communication with God.

44.
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
Peale, Norman Vincent

45.
Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.
Graham, Ruth

46.
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

47.
We know little of the things for which we pray.
Chaucer, Geoffrey

48.
Pray for what you want, but work for what you need.

49.
A childish soul not inoculated with compulsory prayer is a soul open to any religious infection.
Cockburn, Alexander

50.
So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Bible
