Prayer Quotes

Where there is prayer, the fallen spirits have no power.

Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

Do you not pray, Miss Smallwood?'She avoided his gaze. 'No.''God is speaking to you every day,' he said softly. 'You might return the favor.'She raised her chin. 'I don't hear Him.''Do you listen?'She looked at him, clearly offended, then turned away again. 'I used to pray, until I found God was not listening, at least not to my prayers.'[He] heard the inner voice of caution but barreled ahead. 'He listening. But He doesn't always answer the way we would like Him to.

Julie Klassen

There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is. ~William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

God will answer you prayers better than you think. Of course, one will not always get exactly what he has asked for....We all have sorrows and disappointments, but one must never forget that, if commended to God, they will issue in good....His own solution is far better than any we could conceive.

Fanny J. Crosby

Temptation is stronger in the minds of people who are in doubt. Prayer makes it weaker.

Toba Beta

... love for our neighbours does not die the minute we enter heaven, it intensifies.

E.A. Bucchianeri

Persephone is just a name for a spirit of beauty at a certain time in history. I'm sure we could argue a biblical place for her if it matters. Your wife has the name of that pagan goddess, but the fact remains that she's your mortal bride in the Year of Our Lord 1888- and she's Catholic, so pray for her, damn it, I don't care how confusing it is. And pray for us, to anyone. If the dead are about to flood Athens, divine goodwill couldn't hurt. Your prayers can be in Hindu, if you like. Now go home.

Leanna Renee Hieber

Prayer is the sign of your weakness. Rely on your inner strength. You will be the winner.

Amit Ray

If we seem to get no good by attempting to draw near to Him, we may be sure we will get none by keeping away from Him.

John Newton

God stays awake all the time. In case we need to talk to Him about something.

Karen Kingsbury

Intercessory prayer is exceedingly prevalent. What wonders it has wrought! The Word of God teems with its marvelous deeds. Believer, thou hast a mighty engine in thy hand, use it well, use it constantly, use it with faith, and thou shalt surely be a benefactor to thy brethren.

C.H.SPURGEON

Revival begins by Christians getting right first and then spills over into the world.

Charles H. Spurgeon

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.

Etty Hillesum

When I listen to you, Godwhen I do what you ask me to,I am like a treeplanted by a river,a tree full of fruitwith leaves that are always green. Ps 1(paraphrased)

Marie-Helene Delval

My prayer for you today is that you experience the Love that God has for you in such a profound, childlike way that your perspective is completely transformed. As you encounter circumstances in your life, from the trivial to the catastrophic, may you be more acutely aware of the magnitude of His love for you than the magnitude of the troubles you face.

Riisa Renee

Our struggle is--isn't it?--to achieve and retain faith on a lower level. To believe that there is a Listener at all. For as the situation grows more and more desperate, the grisly fears intrude. Are we only talking to ourselves in an empty universe? The silence is often so emphatic. And we have prayed so much already

C.S. Lewis

Loving someone is waking up a little bit earlier than they do so you can pray for their day.

Melissa Z

I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.

Martin Luther King Jr.

How many of us have conflicts with someone else- and how many of us pray for that person? We have individuals with whom we are competitive, or whom we dislike or have a quarrel with; but very few of us have true enemies in the martial sense. And yet if Lincoln could pray fervently- and contemporary reports indicate he did- for the people who were opposing him, how much more can we do for someone we just find a little irritating?

John Wooden

When man is with God in awe and love, then he is praying.

Karl Rahner
