Prayer Quotes

Usually the people who try and bring you down are the ones that need prayer the most Picture Quote #1

Pursuing prayer is prayer on a mission. It is diligent, fervent, constant, persevering, determined, and convinced Picture Quote #1

Prayer: the most effective medicine against trials and the most valuable gift to someone who is nice Picture Quote #1

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them Picture Quote #1

Lack of prayer says you’ve bought into the lie that life is manageable and you’ve got everything under control Picture Quote #1

Prayer is the converse of the soul with God. Therein we manifest or express to Him our reverence, and love for His divine perfection, our gratitude for all His mercies, our penitence for our sins, our hope in His forgiving love, our submission to His authority, our confidence in His care, our desires for His favour, and for the providential and spiritual blessings needed for ourselves and others Picture Quote #1

While doing centering prayer, the practice is to let go of any thought or perception. The priority is to be as silent as possible and when that is not possible to let the noise of the thoughts be the sacred symbol for a while, without analyzing them Picture Quote #1

One of the values of centering prayer is that you are not thinking about God during the time of centering prayer so you are giving God a chance to manifest. In centering prayer there are moments of peace that give the psyche a chance to realize that God may not be so bad after all. God has a chance to be himself for a change Picture Quote #1

Prayer is not a substitute for work. First we have to do all we can ourselves to understand a situation. Then when we ask for help, sometimes it is very evident, sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes we may well be helped by not getting a decision Picture Quote #1

Isn’t atheism just another religion?’ No, it isn’t. Atheism has no creeds, rituals, holy book, absolute moral code, origin myth, sacred spaces or shrines. It has no sin, divine judgment, forbidden words, prayer, worship, prophecy, group privileges, or anointed ‘holy’ leaders. Atheists don’t believe in a transcendent world or supernatural afterlife. Most important, there is no orthodoxy in atheism Picture Quote #1

Prayer isn’t where we change God, but He changes us. Instead of praying for OUR desires, let’s pray He burden us with HIS Picture Quote #1

I always said a prayer before I ran, and my prayer was to win. My prayer was that God would allow me to run my best on that day, or better than my best. So whatever the outcome is, I have to be satisfied with it if I know I gave it my best effort Picture Quote #1

It’s the perfect environment for prayer. Chanting in Greek is like a beautiful opera, but way better Picture Quote #1

The reason ‘help’ is such a great prayer is that God is the gift of desperation. When you’re in despair, you’re teachable Picture Quote #1

In doing God’s work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men Picture Quote #1

Prayer concerns God, whose purposes and plans are conditioned on prayer. His will and His glory are bound up in praying Picture Quote #1

Mans access in prayer to God opens everything and makes his impoverishment his wealth. All things are his through prayer Picture Quote #1

When we depend upon organizations, we get what organizations can do. But when we depend upon prayer, we get what God can do Picture Quote #1

The only way our faith will ever strengthen is for us to use it. We need to apply thought and prayer to our decisions and then trust God for the outcome. We need to set our sights on growing in faith, not shrinking back for fear of failure Picture Quote #1

I was almost persuaded to be a Christian. I thought I never again could be thoughtless and worldly. But I soon forgot my morning prayer or else it was irksome to me. One by one my old habits returned and I cared less for religion than ever Picture Quote #1

All the Ten Commandments and prayer is an acknowledgement of the Almighty God. We will not back down from that Picture Quote #1

I consider it my duty to acknowledge God. To take down the Ten Commandments and to stop holding prayer would be a violation of that duty. I will not take down the Ten Commandments and I will not stop holding prayer Picture Quote #1

Whatever meaning ‘Annie’s Song’ had for me on a personal level, there was also a larger context. It could just as easily have been about love for a brother. Or a father. Or a friend. It could just as easily have been a prayer Picture Quote #1

Prior to the meeting, there was a prayer. In general, in the United States there was always praying Picture Quote #1

Westminster Abbey is nature crystallized into a conventional form by man, with his sorrows, his joys, his failures, and his seeking for the Great Spirit. It is a frozen requiem, with a nation’s prayer ever in dumb music ascending Picture Quote #1

Prayer is, for me, like that - a state of being together with God. It’s not usually triggered by liturgy or special needs. It’s more like what the Bible instructs us to do: Pray without ceasing Picture Quote #1

The law demands good works and uses its terror--rejection, shame, fear of punishment, unanswered prayer, personal tragedy, etc.--as motivation. Here performance is a necessity to secure the blessings and avoid the curses. Grace, on the other hand, allows us to serve on a different basis--not from fear but on the basis of love and gratitude, from appreciation and gladness for blessings freely given and freely received Picture Quote #1

I play Dwight. That is just much me being of service and worshiping as if I’m on my knees in some temple somewhere or bowing my head in prayer to God in some way. It’s really all just the same thing Picture Quote #1

Prayer is talking to something or anything with which we seek union, even if we are bitter or insane or broken. (In fact, these are probably the best possible conditions under which to pray.) Prayer is taking a chance that against all odds and past history, we are loved and chosen, and do not have to get it together before we show up Picture Quote #1

As soon as the man is at one with God, he will not beg. He will then see prayer in all action Picture Quote #1
