Prayer is a confession of one’s own unworthiness and weakness.
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Close the day with prayer so that you may have a peaceful night free from dreams and nightmares.
Prayer needs no speech. It is in itself independent of any sensuous effort. But it must be combined with the utmost humility.
Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.
I can give my own testimony and say that a heartfelt prayer is undoubtedly the most potent instrument that man possesses for overcoming cowardice and all other bad old habits.
As food is necessary for the body, prayer is necessary for the soul. A man may be able to do without food for a number of days – as MacSwiney did for over 70 days – but believing in God, man cannot, should not, live a moment without prayer.
Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
I believe that prayer is the very soul and essence of religion, and therefore prayer must be the very core of life of man, for no man can live without religion.
As I believe that silent prayer is often a mightier (force) than any overt act, in my helplessness I continuously pray in the faith that the prayer of a pure heart never goes unanswered.
Prayer is for remembering God, and for purifying the heart and can be offered even when observing silence.
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness.
