Some Thoughts on Prayer...

"Love to pray. Feel often during the day the need for prayer, and take trouble to pray. Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself. Ask and seek and your heart will grow big enough to receive Him"
Mother Theresa

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

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough."
Meister Eckhart

"The prayer of the man is not perfect until he no longer recognizes himself or the fact that that he is praying."
St. Anthony

"Pray with a sincere and simple heart, and your prayers will be heard."
Sri Ramakrishna

"Prayer is the heavenward soaring of soul on the wings of words."
Zarathushtra

"Heaven is full of answers to prayer for which no one bothered to ask."
Billy Graham

"There is a polish for everything. There is a polish that takes away rust; and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of God."
Prophet Muhammad

"Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work."
Oswald Chambers

"None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience. It is a great matter when in extreme need to take hold on prayer. I know, whenever I have prayed earnestly, that I have been amply heard, and have obtained more than I prayed for. God indeed sometimes delayed, but at last He came."
Martin Luther

"You know the value of prayer: it is precious beyond all price. Never, never neglect it"
Sir Thomas Buxton

"A prayer, a master act, a king idea can link man's strength to a transcendent Force."
Aurobindo

"The key of paradise is prayer, and the key of prayer is ablution."
Prophet Muhammad

"When the mind and speech unite in earnestly asking for a thing, that prayer is answered."
Sri Ramakrishna

The fruit of silence is prayer.
The fruit of prayer is faith.
The fruit of faith is love.
The fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace.
Mother Teresa

"I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love."
Gandhi's Prayer For Peace
