Prayer Quotes (page 13)

We do not want to be beginners [at prayer]. but let us be convinced of the fact that we will never be anything but beginners, all our life! Thomas Merton
the real "work" of prayer is to become silent and listen to the voice that says good things about me. To gently push aside and silence the many voices that question my goodness and to trust that I will hear the voice of blessing-- that demands real effort. Henri Nouwen
To lift up the hands in prayer gives God glory, but a man with a dungfork in his hand, a woman with a slop pail, give Him glory, too. God is so great that all things give Him glory if you mean that they should. Gerard Manley Hopkins
Oscar Wilde quote: "Not "Forgive us for our sins" but "Smite us for our..."
Not "Forgive us for our sins" but "Smite us for our iniquities" should be the prayer of man to a most just God. Oscar Wilde
Believers obey Christ as the one whom our obedience is accepted by God. Believers know all their duties are weak, imperfect, and unable to abide in God's presence.

Remember!--It is Christianity to do good always--even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbours as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to show that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and... Charles Dickens
...goals not bathed in prayer or brought in humility before the Lord turn out to be downright useless. They don't go anywhere. They don't accomplish anything. Charles R. Swindoll
Lewis Black quote: "sometimes i wonder does god just not care are is he to busy..."
sometimes i wonder does god just not care are is he to busy ignoring your prayers Lewis Black
The words were unexpected, but so incisively true. So much of prayer is like that - an encounter with a truth that has sunk to the bottom of the heart, that wants to be found, wants to be spoken, wants to be elevated into the realm of sacredness. Sue Monk Kidd
I don't know whether I believe in God or not. I think, really, I'm some kind of a Buddhist. But the essential thing is to put oneself in a frame of mind which is close to that of prayer. Henri Matisse
You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender. You can fight without ever winning, but never ever win without a fight. Neil Peart
every night i say prayers for him just so he knows that when my dayends and i'm ready to dream he will always be one of the last wakingthoughts i have and perhaps one of the first dreams of my sleepingnight... Sandra Bernhard
...all his prayers of the past had been simple concrete requests: God, give me a bicycle, a knife with seven blades, a box of oil-paints. Only how, how, could you say something so indefinite, so meaningless as this: God, let me be loved. Truman Capote
Tell him that we fucking reprogrammed reality. Tell him that language is a virus and that religion is an operating system and that prayers are just so much fucking spam. Neil Gaiman
