Prayers and promises. The one his sister made to him. The unspoken one I made to my sister. Prayers are promises, too, and these are the days of broken promises.
Rick Yancey
Image
Prayers for the condemned man will be offered on an adding machine. Numbers constitute the only universal language.
Nathanael West
Image
Prayers are to men as dolls are to children. They are not without use and comfort, but it is not easy to take them very seriously.
Samuel Butler
Image
Prayers born out of murmuring are always dangerous. When, therefore, we are in a discontented mood, let'us take care what we cry for, lest God give it to us, and thereby punish us.
William Mackergo Taylor
Image
Prayers offered up in Christian worship in the earliest days of the faith were addressed to 'Our Lord the Sun,' evidencing that 'primitive' Christians were quite in the spirit of Pagan forms and ideologies.
Alvin Boyd Kuhn

Prayers without wine are perfectly pointless.
Aristophanes

Prayers out of, very often, not the most religious part of me, but the most anxious part of me, the most desperately loving, fearing part of me.

Image
Prayers said by good people are always good prayers
Willa Cather

Prayers never bring anything... They may bring solace to the sap, the bigot, the ignorant, the aboriginal, and the lazy - but to the enlightened it is the same as asking Santa Claus to bring you something for Xmas
W. C. Fields

Prayers are answered in one of four ways,” she said. “Yes. No. I have something else in mind. And . . .” She paused long enough for my impatience to show. “And what’s the fourth answer?” “Wait,” she said.

Prayers were held in Assembly Hall. We all perched in rows on wooden benches while teachers sat up on the platform in armchairs, facing us.
Roald Dahl
Image
Prayers belong strictly to the worship of God. Fasting is a subordinate aid, which is pleasing to God no farther than as it aids the earnestness and fervency of prayer.
John Calvin
Image
Prayers are like those appeals of ours. Either they don't get through or they're returned with 'rejected' scrawled across 'em.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
Prayers aren't for the deity...They're for you, to recommit yourself to what you believe.
James A. Owen
Image
Prayers and sacrifices are of no avail.
Aristotle
Image
I just want to say to fans in every corner of the earth, every nationality, every race, every language: I love you from the bottom of my heart. I would love your prayers and your goodwill, and please be patient and be with me and believe in me because I am completely, completely innocent. But please know a lot of conspiracy is going on as we speak.
Michael Jackson

For me writing has always felt like praying even when I wasn't writing prayers.
Marilynne Robinson
Image
The small prayers of weak and broken people move the heart of God.
Mike Bickle
Image
Each prayer is like a seed that gets planted in the ground. It disappears for a season, but it eventually bears fruit that blesses future generations. In fact, our prayers bear fruit forever.
Mark Batterson

I have always been edified by Hebrew prayers.
Moses Hess
Image
God isn't offended by your biggest dreams or boldest prayers. He is offended by anything less. If your prayers aren't impossible to you, they are insulting to God.
Mark Batterson
Image
Well-developed faith results in well-defined prayers, and well-defined prayers result in a well-lived life.
Mark Batterson

Ever doubt that God answers your prayers? Pray (sincerely) for humility... and watch what happens.
Mark Hart
