Prayer

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.
Prayer Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Prayer

1.
My prayer to God is a very short one: O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous! God has granted it.
Voltaire

2.
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca

3.
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.

4.
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

5.
Pray that you will never have to bear all that you are able to endure.
Proverb, Jewish

6.
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

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

9.
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

10.
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
Oscar Wilde

11.
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

12.
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish

13.
Common people do not pray; they only beg.
Shaw, George Bernard

14.
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Tupper, Martin

15.
The object of most prayers is to wangle an advance on good intentions.
Brault, Robert

16.
Most men pray for power, the strength to do things. Few people pray for love, the quality to be someone.
Foster, Robert D.

17.
When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don't, they don't.
Temple, Sir William

18.
Why is it when we talk to God, we're praying, but when God talks to us, we're schizophrenic?
Tomlin, Lily

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

21.
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

22.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Augustine, St.

23.
Ask God's blessing on your work, but don't ask him to do it for you.
Robson, Dame Flora

24.
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

25.
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
Herbert, George

26.
You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal

27.
Spiritual favors are not always to be looked for, and not always to be relied on.
Barr, Amelia E.

28.
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

29.
Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.
Graham, Ruth

30.
Pray. To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.
Bierce, Ambrose

31.
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

32.
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
Hippocrates

33.
Prayer is not a substitute for work, thinking, watching, suffering, or giving; prayer is a support for all other efforts.
Buttrick, George

34.
There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Hugo, Victor

35.
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

36.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Gandhi, Mahatma

37.
We know little of the things for which we pray.
Chaucer, Geoffrey

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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

41.
Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.
Pusey, Edward Bouverie

42.
Don't put people down, unless it's on your prayer list.
Michalski, Stan

43.
One hour in the execution of justice is worth seventy years of prayer.
Proverb

44.
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

45.
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

46.
The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

47.
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
Gandhi, Mahatma

48.
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.

49.
Prayer is a passport to heaven. Your communication with God.

50.
Ask God for what man can give, and you may get it.
Proverb, English
