Best Quotes about Prayer
Answered prayers cause more tears than those that remain unanswered.
Teresa of Avila, St.
One hour in the execution of justice is worth seventy years of prayer.
Proverb
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
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.
Pray for what you want, but work for what you need.
Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.
Pusey, Edward Bouverie
If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart
A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Gotthold
Do not ask for what you will wish you had not got.
Seneca
When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.
Peale, Norman Vincent
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
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca
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
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
Eckhart, Meister
Religion is in the heart, not in the knees.
Jerrold, Douglas William
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.
The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.
Baudelaire, Charles
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
Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness.
Gandhi, Mahatma
We know little of the things for which we pray.
Chaucer, Geoffrey
Pray to God but continue to row to the shore.
Proverb, Russian
When we take one step toward to God, he takes seven steps toward us.
Proverb, Indian
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
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
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
Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.
Graham, Ruth
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
A simple grateful thought turned heavenwards is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Doris
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
Spiritual favors are not always to be looked for, and not always to be relied on.
Barr, Amelia E.
Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.
Socrates
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
Gandhi, Mahatma
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
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
Oscar Wilde
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
Most men pray for power, the strength to do things. Few people pray for love, the quality to be someone.
Foster, Robert D.
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
Seven days without prayer makes one weak.
There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
Saint Theresa of Jesus
Common people do not pray; they only beg.
Shaw, George Bernard
Prayer is not a substitute for work, thinking, watching, suffering, or giving; prayer is a support for all other efforts.
Buttrick, George
There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Hugo, Victor
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Augustine, St.
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
You can pray for someone even if you don't think God exists.
Real Live Preacher
Battering the gates of heaven with the storms of prayer.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
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
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.
God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers and thrust the thing we have prayed for in our face, like a gauntlet with a gift in it.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
