◆ In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.

- Mother Teresa99

◆ Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I'll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.

- L.M. Montgomery99

◆ I don't pray because it doesn't work. Prayer doesn't fix anything. Bad things happen anyway.

- Nicholas Sparks99

◆ Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.

- Mahatma Gandhi99

◆ Go where your best prayers take you.

- Frederick Buechner99

◆ Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.

- Andrew Murray99

◆ Dear Jesus, do something.

- Vladimir Nabokov99

◆ When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.

- Mahatma Gandhi99

◆ I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.

- Martin Luther99

◆ For the happy man prayer is only a jumble of words, until the day when sorrow comes to explain to him the sublime language by means of which he speaks to God.

- Alexandre Dumas99

◆ Lord, Give me the strength not to bitch slap this woman.

- J.D. Robb99

◆ God will answer you prayers better than you think. Of course, one will not always get exactly what he has asked for....We all have sorrows and disappointments, but one must never forget that, if commended to God, they will issue in good....His own solution is far better than any we could conceive.

- Fanny J. Crosby99

◆ No matter how much you hurt me I'll still pray for you every night.

- 99

◆ GOD is the best listener, you don't need to shout, nor cry out loud. Because he hears even the very silent prayer of a sincere heart.

- Nishan Panwar99
