Prayer Quotes
-
Hope looks toward the future. Trust looks to the present. Hope expects. Trust possesses...what prayer needs, at all times, is abiding and abundant trust.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
God grant that each of us here today may so live that all among us, and with us, may see, not us, but that which is divine and comes from God. With that vision of what those who have lost their way may become, my prayer is that they may receive strength and resolution to climb higher and higher and upward and onward to that great goal of eternal life and also that I may do my part in seeking to show by example, as well as by precept, that which will be the best of which I am capable of doing.
Harold B. Lee

James G. Frazer

Open a Jewish daily prayer book used in any part of the world, and Zionism will leap out at you.
Ephraim Mirvis

There is no wonder more supernatural and divine in the life of a believer than the mystery and ministry of prayer...the hand of the child touching the arm of the Father and moving the wheel of the universe.
Albert Benjamin Simpson
-
By forcing us to look closely at our requests, prayer purifies us.

Tahar Ben Jelloun
-
When I was a child, eight or ten years old, I made a solemn promise to God that, when I grew up, I would write him a hymn for the prayer-book. The vow has never been fulfilled. But I have painted a large number of pictures, and there must be more than thirty religious ones. I wonder if they will do instead.
Emil Nolde
-
I raised my arms as if in prayer and heard the mutter of response behind me. Then I scattered the dried grains, red and brown and black, and studied the patterns they formed on the stone ledge before Sibbos. This is not such a mystic thing. You see what it is sensible to see, or else you interpret what you see so that the meaning comes out as you want it.

Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.
Oswald Chambers
-
Men of prayer, before anything else, are indispensable to the furtherance of the kingdom of God on earth. No other sort will fit in the scheme or do the deed. Men, great and influential in other things but small in prayer, cannot do the work Almighty God has set out for His Church to do in this, His world.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
The 'means of grace' are such as Bible reading, private prayer, and regularly worshiping God in Church, wherein one hears the Word taught and participates in the Lord's Supper.

J. C. Ryle
-
Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
Prayer among men is supposed a means to change the person to whom we pray; but prayer to God doth not change him, but fits us to receive the things prayed for.
Benjamin Stillingfleet
-
We should not permit prayer to be taken out of the schools; that's the only way most of us got through.
Sam Levenson
