Good Prayer Quotes

Willa Cather quote: "Prayers said by good people are always good prayers"
Prayers said by good people are always good prayers Willa Cather
Prayer that craves a particular commodity—anything less than all good, is vicious. Prayer is the contemplation of the facts of life from the highest point of view. It is the soliloquy of a beholding and jubilant soul. It is the spirit of God pronouncing his works good. But prayer as a means to effect a private end is theft and meanness. It supposes dualism and not unity in nature and consciousness. As soon as the man is at one with God, he will not beg. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Prayer is like water - something you can't imagine has the strength or power to do any good, and yet give it time and it can change the lay of the land. Jodi Picoult
Hippocrates quote: "Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man..."
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand. Hippocrates
Martin Luther quote: "Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a..."
Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon. Martin Luther
Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us. John Selden
Why is it that sometimes our prayers seem not to be answered? This is a manifestation of the Buddha's wisdom, so that we can deepen our prayers, become stronger people, live more profound lives and secure deeper, more lasting good fortune. If our slightest prayer was answered immediately, we would become lazy and degenerate. And we could not hope to build a life of great dignity and substance. Daisaku Ikeda
Robert Green Ingersoll quote: "Labor is the only prayer that Nature answers: It is the only..."
Labor is the only prayer that Nature answers: It is the only prayer that deserves an answer—good, honest, noble work. Robert Green Ingersoll
I know that big people don't like questions from children. They can ask all the questions they like, How's school? Are you a good boy? Did you say your prayers? but if you ask them did they say their prayers you might be hit on the head. Frank McCourt
Unfailing faith is fortified through prayer. Your heartfelt pleadings are important to Him. Think of the intense and impassioned prayers of the Prophet Joseph Smith during his dreadful days of incarceration in Liberty Jail. The Lord responded by changing the Prophet’s perspective. He said, ‘Know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good. Russell M. Nelson
Help" is a prayer that is always answered. It doesn't matter how you pray--with your head bowed in silence, or crying out in grief, or dancing. Churches are good for prayer, but so are garages and cars and mountains and showers and dance floors. Years ago I wrote an essay that began, "Some people think that God is in the details, but I have come to believe that God is in the bathroom. Anne Lamott
This is a lttle prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state. I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools they might as well have a nice prayer like this: Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands, thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as in heaven, give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail. Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen. George Carlin
Our real work is prayer. What good is the cold iron of our frantic little efforts unless first we heat it in the furnace of our prayer? Only heat will diffuse heat. Mother Maribel
You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. Charles Simeon
This, I thought, is what is meant by 'thy will be done' in the Lord's Prayer, which I had prayed time and again without thinking about it. It means that your will and God's will may not be the same. It means there's a good possibility that you won't get what you pray for. It means that in spite of your prayers you are going to suffer. Wendell Berry
