    Faith   God   Religious  
    'Aurora Leigh' (1857) bk. 2, l. 952
  • Never will I pray for the material things of the world. I am not calling to a servant to bring me food. I am not ordering an innkeeper to provide me with room. Never will I seek delivery of gold, love, good health, petty victories, fame, success, or happiness. Only for guidance will I pray, that I may be shown the way to acquire these things, and my prayer will always be answered.

    Prayer   Victory   Gold  
    Og Mandino (1998). “The Greatest Gift in the World”, Frederick Fell Publishers

  • Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear; To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.

    Patience   Art   Prayer  
    George Croly (1851). “Scenes from scripture: with other poems”, p.13
  • The reason why we obtain no more in prayer is because we expect no more. God usually answers us according to our own hearts.

  • On the ground of our own goodness we cannot expect to have our prayers answered. But Jesus is worthy, and for His sake we may have our prayers answered. There is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for God to give Him. He is worthy. He is the spotless, holy Child, who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of God. And if we trust in Him, if we hide in Him, if we put Him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on Him and plead His name, we may expect to have our prayers answered.

    Jesus   Prayer   Children

    Phillips Brooks (1886). “Visions and Tasks: Sermons Fourth Series”
  • Faithful servants have a way of knowing answered prayer when they see it, and a way of not giving up when they don't.

    Max Lucado (2013). “God Came Near: God's Perfect Gift”, p.97, Thomas Nelson Inc
  • Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.

    Faith   Death   Christian  
  • God's answers are wiser than our prayers.

    Prayer   Answers   Wiser  
  • Why is it important that you are with God and God alone on the mountain top? It's important because it's the place in which you can listen to the voice of the One who calls you the beloved. To pray is to listen to the One who calls you 'my beloved daughter,' 'my beloved son,' 'my beloved child.' To pray is to let that voice speak to the center of your being, to your guts, and let that voice resound in your whole being.

    Prayer   Order   Giving  
    Oswald Chambers (1927). “My utmost for His Highest: selections for every day”
  • The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer.

    Edward McKendree Bounds (1920). “Purpose in Prayer”, p.11, CCEL
  • I have been reading the morning paper. I do it every morning-knowing well that I shall find in it the usual depravities and basenesses and hypocrisies and cruelties that make up civilization, and cause me to put in the rest of the day pleading for the damnation of the human race. I cannot seem to get my prayers answered, yet I do not despair.

  • The law demands good works and uses its terror--rejection, shame, fear of punishment, unanswered prayer, personal tragedy, etc.--as motivation. Here performance is a necessity to secure the blessings and avoid the curses. Grace, on the other hand, allows us to serve on a different basis--not from fear but on the basis of love and gratitude, from appreciation and gladness for blessings freely given and freely received.

  • Prayer, the basic exercise of the spirit, must be actively practiced in our private lives. The neglected soul of the human being must be made strong enough to assert itself once more. For if the power of prayer is again released and used in the lives of common men and women; if the spirit declares its aims clearly and boldly, there is yet hope that our prayers for a better world will be answered.

  • We impoverish God in our minds when we say there must be answers to our prayers on the material plane; the biggest answers to our prayers are in the realm of the unseen.

    God   Faith   Prayer  
    Oswald Chambers (2015). “Run Today's Race: A Word from Oswald Chambers for Every Day of the Year”, p.51, Discovery House
  • Give us this day our daily mask.

    Tom Stoppard (2013). “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead”, p.31, Faber & Faber
  • Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this: always obey such an impulse.

    Prayer   Reading   Law  
    Martyn Lloyd-Jones (2012). “Preaching and Preachers”, p.90, Hachette UK
  • Answered prayers are scary. They imply responsibility. You asked for it. Now that you've got it, what are you going to do? Why else the cautionary phrase Watch out for what you pray for; you might just get it?

    Julia Cameron (2002). “The Artist's Way: 25th Anniversary Edition”, p.92, Penguin
  • Did we perfectly know the state of our own condition, and what was most proper for us, we might have reason to conclude our prayers not heard if not answered.

    Prayer   Might   Reason  
  • Listen, my friend! Your helplessness is your best prayer. It calls from your heart to the heart of God with greater effect than all your uttered pleas. He hears it from the very moment that you are seized with helplessness, and He becomes actively engaged at once in hearing and answering the prayer of your helplessness.

    God   Faith   Christian  
    Ole Hallesby (1975). “Prayer”, Augsburg Fortress Publishing
