PRAYER
Grant
that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray
from the depths of my heart.
~Martin Luther~
Prayers go up and
blessings come down.
~Yiddish Proverb~
The greatest
prayer is patience.
~Buddha~
Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.
~Søren Kierkegaard~
I
have had prayers
answered - most strangely so sometimes - but I think our heavenly
Father's loving-kindness has been even more evident in what He has
refused me.
~Lewis Carroll~
God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning
of prayer.
~Mother Teresa~
The
first step in learning to pray is to free ourselves from
pre-conceptions of what prayer is. The second step on the road to
prayer is to forget any fixed ideas we may have about how to pray.
We can pray at any time, anywhere, in any way.
~Marcus Braybrooke~
The greatest gift
we can give to others is our prayers.
~Author Unknown~
It is for us to
pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our
tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door
of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.
~Helen Keller~
And on a humorous note about
prayer...
As long as there
are tests, there will be prayer in schools.
~Unknown Source~
What we usually pray to God is not that His will be done, but that
He approve ours.
~Helga Bergold Gross~
