When at night you cannot sleep, talk to the Shepherd and stop counting sheep.
He who cannot pray when the sun is shining will not know how to pray when the clouds come.
Without the incense of heartfelt prayer, even the greatest of cathedrals is dead.
God's ear lies close to the believer's lip.
Do not pray by heart, but with the heart.
God eagerly awaits the chance to bless the person whose heart is turned toward Him.
Be not hot in prayer and cold in praise.
Productive prayer requires earnestness, not eloquence.
Many words do not a good prayer make; what counts is the heartfelt desire to commune with God, and the faith to back it up.
Short prayers pierceth Heaven.
Fear of trouble, present and future, often blinds us to the numerous small blessings we enjoy, silencing our prayers of praise and thanksgiving.
God deserves far more praise than any of us could ever give Him.
God receives little thanks, even for his greatest gifts.
Our thanks to God should always precede our requests.
Don't be timid when you pray; rather, batter the very gates of heaven with storms of prayer.
O Lord, forgive what I have been, sanctify what I am, and order what I shall be.
True prayer brings a person's will into accordance with God's will, not the other way around.
How many of us will ever sit... bow our heads, and pray "Lord, show me where I'm wrong"?
When my children do wrong, I ache to hear their stumbling requests for forgiveness. I'm sure our heavenly Father aches even more deeply to hear from us.
Always look for ways to act upon the faith you display in your prayers.
