| Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue. |
Adam Clarke |
| Before we can pray 'Lord thy kingdom come' we must be willing to pray 'My kingdom go.' |
Alan Redpath |
| He who labors as he prays lifts his heart to God with his hands. |
Bernard of Clairvaux |
| We ought to act with God in the greatest simplicity, speaking to him frankly and painly, and imploring his assistance in our affairs, just as they happen. |
Brother Lawrence |
| There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way." |
C.S. Lewis |
| What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when he catches us, as it were, off our guard. |
C.S. Lewis |
| I challenge you each morning to get down on your knees and seek God's power to keep you a loving, humble, and effective leader or parent. |
Charles R. Swindoll |
| Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden. |
Corrie ten Boom |
| Through the medium of prayer we go to our enemy, stand by his side, and plead for him to God. Jesus does not promise that when we bless our enemies and do good to them they will not despitefully use and persecute us. They certainly will. But not even that can hurt or overcome us, so long as we pray for them... We are doing vicariously for them what they cannot do for themselves. |
Dietrich Bonhoeffer |
| There is no more certain way of making Christians feel guilty than by asking them how much time they spend in prayer. |
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones |
| Prayer is exhaling the spirit of man and inhaling the spirit of God. |
Edwin Keith |
| Who rises from prayer a better man, his prayer is answered. |
George Meredith |
| No one is a firmer believer in the power of prayer than the devil; not that he practices it, but he suffers from it. |
Guy H. King |
| What we usually pray to God is not that His will be done, but that He approve ours. |
Helga Bergold Gross |
| Those who humbly admit their need for God's help and daily strength, will find that they have been granted the power of God. |
Jack Kuhatschek |
| In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. |
John Bunyan |
| When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart. |
John Bunyan |
| We must move from asking God to take care of the things that are breaking our hearts, to praying about the things that are breaking His heart. |
Margaret Gibb |
| God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer. |
Mother Theresa |
| If we pray, we will believe; if we believe, we will love; if we love, we will serve. |
Mother Theresa |
| We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties. |
Oswald Chambers |
| God can pick sense out of a confused prayer. |
Richard Sibbes |
| Most men pray for power, the strength to do things. Few people pray for love, the quality to be someone. |
Robert D. Foster |
| Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines |
Satchel Paige |
| One of the major reasons for lack of godliness is prayerlessness. |

Life is like a game of chess, in which there are an infinite number of complex moves possible. The choice is open, but the move contains within itself all future moves. One is free to choose, but what follows is the result of one's choice. From the consequences of one's action there is never any escape.
