Prayer

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.  ~Satchel Paige, 1974

Many people pray as if God were a big aspirin pill; they come only when they hurt.  ~B. Graham Dienert

Prayer is not merely an occasional impulse to which we respond when we are in trouble:  prayer is a life attitude.  ~Walter A. Mueller

The Lord's Prayer may be committed to memory quickly, but it is slowly learnt by heart.  ~Frederick Denison Maurice

When you pray, rather let your heart be without words than your words without heart.  ~John Bunyan

I believe in prayer.  It's the best way we have to draw strength from heaven.  ~Josephine Baker

God always answers our prayers, but sometimes the answer is no.  ~Author Unknown

We must move from asking God to take care of the things that are breaking our hearts, to praying about the things that are breaking His heart.  ~Margaret Gibb
 
Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.  ~Socrates

"Seven days without prayer makes one weak."  Allen E. Vartlett

"There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual conversation with God." Brother Lawrence

Prayer should not be regarded "as a duty which must be performed, but rather as a privilege to be enjoyed, a rare delight that is always revealing some new beauty."  E.M. Bounds 

Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them." John Calvin       




I really love to pray :). Try to pray guys, and you will see the power of the prayer. :D. trust me ;)
