Prayer Quotes
-
May we two stand,
When we are dead, beyond the setting suns,
A little from other shades apart,
With mingling hair, and play upon one lute.
William Butler Yeats
-
The most important of your affairs in my view is prayer; whoever prays regularly has protected his faith, but whoever neglects it, is bound to be more negligent in other issues of faith.
Umar
-
You know, you are not born with a soul. You earn it with suffering, hard work and prayer. Which hopefully you did last night.
Yeardley Smith
-
We must be still before God.
F. B. Meyer
-
Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.
J. C. Ryle
-
Prayer must be broad in its scope - it must plead for others. Intercession for others is the hallmark of all true prayer. When prayer is confined to self and to the sphere of one's personal needs, it dies by reason of its littleness, narrowness and selfishness.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
Good God, the souls of all my tribe defend
From jealousy!
William Shakespeare
-
Prayer is the medium of miracles; in whatever way works for you, pray right now.
Marianne Williamson
-
The Internet was full of sites producing content for free, in the hope that somehow they'd generate revenue from sources that never materialized, whether it was advertising, subscriptions, or a wing and a prayer.
Craig Mundie
-
Though my natural instinct is to wish for a life free from pain, trouble, and adversity, I am learning to welcome anything that makes me conscious of my need for Him. If prayer is birthed out of desperation, then anything that makes me desperate for God is a blessing.
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth
-
Don't be discouraged if the answer to your prayer does not come immediately. Study, ponder, and pray, sincerely having faith, and live the commandments.
Joseph B. Wirthlin
-
Watch your motive before God; have no other motive in prayer than to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
-
The Bible tells us that whenever we come before God, whatever our purpose or prayer request, we are always to come with a thankful heart.
David Jeremiah
-
I look upon prayer-meetings as the most profitable exercises (excepting the public preaching) in which Christians can engage. They have a direct tendency to kill a worldly, trifling spirit, and to draw down a Divine blessing upon all our concerns, compose differences, and enkindle (at least maintain) the flames of Divine love amongst brethren.
John Newton
-
My husband is Dutch, and his family, when you sat down to eat food at the table, you never left the table until you ate living bread and drank living water. They never left the table until they'd read Scripture together. So morning, lunch, suppertime, Scripture was always read at the table, and then there was prayer to close.
Ann Voskamp
-
There is power through prayer. For many Christians, prayer is nothing special, just something we're supposed to do - go to church, tithe, read the Bible, pray. But prayer should be so much more than an item on our "to do" lists.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
A picture is like a prayer.
Harry Callahan
-
I know divers, and divers men know me, which love me as I do them: yet if I should pray them, when I meet them in the street openly, they would abhor me; but if I pray them where they be appointed to meet me secretly, they will hear me and accept my request.
William Tyndale
