Prayer Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Prayer

1.
Religion is in the heart, not in the knees.
Jerrold, Douglas William

2.
Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.
Pusey, Edward Bouverie

3.
When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don't, they don't.
Temple, Sir William

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
Gandhi, Mahatma

7.
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

8.
Why is it when we talk to God, we're praying, but when God talks to us, we're schizophrenic?
Tomlin, Lily

9.
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Tupper, Martin

10.
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

11.
If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart

12.
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

13.
When we take one step toward to God, he takes seven steps toward us.
Proverb, Indian

14.
The object of most prayers is to wangle an advance on good intentions.
Brault, Robert

15.
There is no greater distance than that between a man in prayer and God.
Illich, Ivan

16.
Seven days without prayer makes one weak.

17.
Prayer is less about changing the world than it is about changing ourselves.
Wolpe, David J.

18.
Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.
Cohen, Leonard

19.
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.

20.
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
Eckhart, Meister

21.
Prayer is a passport to heaven. Your communication with God.

22.
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

23.
The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

24.
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.

25.
You can pray for someone even if you don't think God exists.
Real Live Preacher

26.
Your prayer must be for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

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.
Short prayers reach heaven.
Proverb

29.
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

30.
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
Hippocrates

31.
My prayer to God is a very short one: O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous! God has granted it.
Voltaire

32.
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

33.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Gandhi, Mahatma

34.
Most men pray for power, the strength to do things. Few people pray for love, the quality to be someone.
Foster, Robert D.

35.
A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Gotthold

36.
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

37.
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
Herbert, George

38.
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

39.
There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
Saint Theresa of Jesus

40.
Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.
Graham, Ruth

41.
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish

42.
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

43.
The influence of prayer on the human mind and body is as demonstrable as that of secreting glands. Its results can be measured in terms of increased physical buoyancy, greater intellectual vigor, moral stamina, and a deeper understanding of the realities underlying human relationships.
Carrel, Dr. Alex

44.
You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal

45.
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

46.
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

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Spiritual favors are not always to be looked for, and not always to be relied on.
Barr, Amelia E.

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