In our home there was always prayer - aloud, proud and unapologetic.

Every day I wake up and I lay in bed counting my blessings and saying my prayers for how fortunate I am to have great fans and health and family.

When you're worrying you're not praying. Stop worrying start praying.

"I don't pray because I don't want to bore God."

"On the ground of our own goodness we cannot "expect "to have our prayers answered. But Jesus is worthy, and for His sake we may have our prayers answered. There is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for God to give Him. He is worthy. He is the spotless, holy Child, who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of God. And if we trust in Him, if we hide in Him, if we put Him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on Him and plead His name, we may expect to have our prayers answered."

"It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer."

"I live in the spirit of prayer. I pray as I walk about, when I lie down and when I rise up. And the answers are always coming."

"Never give up praying until the answer comes."

"Only a life of prayer and meditation will render a vessel ready for the Master's use."

"The greater the difficulty to be overcome, the more will it be seen to the glory of God how much can be done by prayer and faith."

"With prayer, one can go on cheerfully and even happily. Without prayer, how grim a journey!"

"Prayer is a practical strategy, the gaining of temporal advantage in the capital markets of Sin and Remission."

"Only praise behavior that you want to be repeated. Never use false praise."

"Shakespeare is one of the last books one should like to give up, perhaps the one just before the Dying Service in a large Prayer book."

"He that tries to recommend (Shakespeare) by select quotations, will succeed like the pedant in "Hierocles", who, when he offered his house to sale, carried a brick in his pocket as a specimen"

"We're going to pray a lot and picket a lot."

"Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, and fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray."

"A man does not serve God when he prays, for it is himself he is trying to serve"

“We can’t control what other people do and how they decide to treat us, but we can control our response to them. Don’t let other people’s behavior control you. Don’t let them steal your joy; remember that your anger won’t change them, but prayer can.” 

“Prayer makes tremendous power available (James 5:16). Don’t let your prayer life reflect weeds of inconsistency or neglect.” 

The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. Douglas MacArthur

“I don’t believe in praying to win.”

God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things

If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.
