#Prayer

"If you wait, your heavenly Father will pick you up, carry you out into the night, and make your life sparkle. He wants to dazzle you with the wonder of his love."

"Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer; and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious."

"Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer."

"The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays."

"I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer."

"I can do this… I can start over. I can save my own life and I’m never going to be alone as long as I have stars to wish on and people to still love."

"When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of 'No answer.' It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, 'Peace, child; you don't understand."

"Obedience, fasting, and prayer are laughed at, yet only through them lies the way to real true freedom. I cut off my superfluous and unnecessary desires, I subdue my proud and wanton will and chastise it with obedience, and with God's help I attain freedom of spirit and with it spiritual joy."

"The only way God can strengthen his presence in our will is to weaken his presence in our feelings. Otherwise we would become spiritual cripples, unable to walk without emotional crutches. This is why he gives us dryness, sufferings, and failures."

"The easiest way to get touch with this universal power is through silent Prayer. Shut your eyes, shut your mouth, and open your heart. This is the golden rule of prayer. Prayer should be soundless words coming forth from the centre of your heart filled with love."

"Keep the faith. The vision is always for the appointed time. Be patient, prayerful and wait for the fulfillment of your visions."

"Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?"

"Bukan doa orang lain yang membuat anda sukses atau gagal,tapi karena anda telah mengaminkannya, sadar atau tak sadar."

"O God — please give him back! I shall keep asking You."

"The day you learn to be publically specific in your prayer, that is the day you will discover power."

"As prayer without faith is but a beating of the air, so trust without prayer [is] but a presumptuous bravado. He that promises to give, and bids us trust His promises, commands us to pray, and expects obedience to his commands. He will give, but not without our asking."

"When God has specially promised the thing, we are bound to believe we shall recieve it when we pray for it. You have no right to put in an 'if', and say, 'Lord, if it be thy will..."This is to insult God. To put an 'if' in God's promise when God has put none there, is tantamount to charging God with being insincere."

"Go where your best prayers take you."

"Writing is prayer."

"For me, learning is a continuous process and an all-inclusive one - reading a book, learning a musical instrument or learning the martial art called taekwondo. Teach myself something new - that's my prayer."
