Last forever!' Who hasn't prayed that prayer? You were lucky to get it in the first place. The present is a freely given canvas. That it is constantly being ripped apart and washed downstream goes without saying.
Annie Dillard
Image
I was an altar boy, I took catechism classes and religion classes, and I prayed a lot as a child. My family was very religious, and I really experienced God.
Neale Donald Walsch
Image
Carmen prayed hard. She prayed while standing near the priest in hopes it would give her request extra credibility. What she prayed for was nothing. She prayed that God would look on them and see the beauty of their existence and leave them alone.
Ann Patchett
Image
I pray for what I have always prayed for: the restoration of our constitution and absolute freedom for the people of Cuba. That dream is very much alive, that fight is very much alive.
Andy Garcia
Image
The idea seemed to be that if you prayed extremely hard--especially if a lot of people prayed at once--maybe God would change things. The trouble was, what if your enemy was praying, too? Which prayer would God listen to?
Jeanne DuPrau

He wanted to know how they prayed to God in El Dorado. We do not pray to him at all, said the reverend sage. We have nothing to ask of him. He has given us all we want, and we give him thanks continually.
Voltaire
Image
In the chapel you prayed to be a saint and now I will make you a god.
Anne Rice

This, I thought, is what is meant by 'thy will be done' in the Lord's Prayer, which I had prayed time and again without thinking about it. It means that your will and God's will may not be the same. It means there's a good possibility that you won't get what you pray for. It means that in spite of your prayers you are going to suffer.
Wendell Berry

Every heart has a miracle to pray for. Every life holds that which only a miracle can cure. To prove that there have never been, that there can never be, miracles does not alter the matter. So long as there is something hoped for, - that does not come in the legitimate channel of possible events, - just so long will the miracle be prayed for.
Grace King

If I prayed as much as I pluck, I'd be the Dalai Lama.
Kathie Lee Gifford

One day I was talking to Cora. She prayed for me because she believed I was blind to sin, wanting me to kneel and pray too, because people to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.
William Faulkner
Image
The most difficult thing I have ever had to do is follow the guidance I prayed for.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
We are fit for the work of God only when we have wept over it, prayed about it, and then we are enabled by Him to tackle the job that needs to be done.
Alan Redpath
Image
If you prayed as much as you worry, you'd have nothing to worry about.
Rick Warren
Image
It is a high Christian privilege to pray for one another within each local church body and then for other believers throughout the world. As a Christian minister, I have no right to preach to people I have not prayed for. That is my strong conviction.
Aiden Wilson Tozer

Speaking as a minister it is my strong feeling that no man has a right to preach to a crowd that he has not prayed for.

My father was a very religious person. And he prayed five times a day. And he did that throughout his relationship with Ataturk - at a time when it was very brave to do because Ataturk was cutting off the heads of the imams. And people thought that that was foolhardy of my father.
Ahmet Ertegun
Image
He prayed on Fridays with the Muslims, on Saturdays with the Jews and on Sundays with the Christians. 'Since each religion claims that it is the only true one and that the others are invalid', the king explained, 'I have decided to hedge my bets'.
Ahmad ibn Rustah

How many times have you prayed or asked or said you needed help, when suddenly somebody showed up in your life? We are all connected through our thoughts.

Arrogance is truly the child of impiety, but from health of soul comes happiness, dear to all, much prayed for.
Aeschylus
Image
I never prayed sincerely and earnestly for anything but it came at some time no matter at how distant a day, somehow, in some shape, probably the least I would have devised, it came.
Adoniram Judson
Image
I never prayed that I would make a putt. I prayed that I would react well if I missed.
Chi Chi Rodriguez
Image
It is to me a most affecting thing to hear myself prayed for, in particular as I do every day in the week, and disposes me to bear with more composure, some disagreeable circumstances that attend my situation.
Abigail Adams
Image
We must forgive our enemies. I can truly say that not a day has passed since the war began that I have not prayed for them.
