Praying Quotes
-
For men were born to pray and save:
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone,
It's with O'Leary in the grave.
William Butler Yeats
-
True praying has the largest results for good. Poor praying the least. We cannot do too much of real praying. We cannot do too little of the sham. If we would learn the wondrous power of prayer, we must not give a fragment here and there - A little talk with Jesus, as the tiny saintlets sing - but we must demand and hold with an iron grasp the best hours of the day for God and prayer, or there will be no praying worth the name.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
We must meditate before, during and after everything we do. The prophet says: "I will pray, and then I will understand." This is the way we can easily overcome the countless difficulties we have to face day after day, which, after all, are part of our work. In meditation we find the strength to bring Christ to birth in ourselves and in others.
Carlo Borromeo
-
Some men will spin out a long prayer telling God who and what he is, or they pray out a whole system of divinity. Some people preach, others exhort the people, till everybody wishes they would stop, and God wishes so, too, most undoubtedly.
Charles Grandison Finney
-
The more praying there is in the world, the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil everywhere.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
You're here, on your knees, praying as the seconds on your Mickey Mouse clock tick by, but in God's time, you're working with Him at the moment of creation, when there is no time.
Amy Welborn
-
I don't mind praying to the Eternal Father, but I must be the only man in the country afflicted with an eternal mother.
Edward VII
-
We never understand what we're praying, and God, in His mercy, does not answer our prayers according to our understanding, but according to His wisdom.
Rich Mullins
-
Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.
William Gurnall
-
I've discovered that sometimes God wants us to live inside of the questions. Sometimes he wants us to linger in the waiting, hoping, praying. In fact, sometimes it's right in the middle of our darkness in the middle of our crisis, in the middle of our Plan B struggles that God speaks most clearly.
Pete Wilson
