#Prayer

"If we had more sleepless nights in prayer, there would be fewer souls to have a sleepless eternal night in hell."

"I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day."

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

"If ever I was running, it was towards you."

"I look out into the water and up deep into the stars. I beg the sparkling lanterns of light to cure me of myself — my past and the kaleidoscope of mistakes, failures and wrong turns that have stacked unbearable regret upon my shoulders."

"I really believe that there is an invisible red thread tied between him and me, and that it has stretched and tangled for years — across oceans and lifetimes. I know that it won’t break because our souls are tied."

"Does our purpose on Earth directly link to the people whom we end up meeting? Are our relationships and experiences actually the required dots that connect and then lead us to our ultimate destinies?"

"If God were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be God our Saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction."

"We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties."

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

"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."

"Prayer is the sign of your weakness. Rely on your inner strength. You will be the winner."

"The words were unexpected, but so incisively true. So much of prayer is like that - an encounter with a truth that has sunk to the bottom of the heart, that wants to be found, wants to be spoken, wants to be elevated into the realm of sacredness."

"I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him."

"As we come to grips with our own selfishness and stupidity, we make friends with the impostor and accept that we are impoverished and broken and realize that, if we were not, we would be God. The art of gentleness toward ourselves leads to being gentle with others -- and is a natural prerequisite for our presence to God in prayer."

"Doa yang tulus dan dengan cinta, adalah kekuatan besar yang bisa menyelamatkan siapa pun, termasuk orang yang mendoakannya."

"If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough."

"What have you gained since you haven't prayed? What will you lose if you pray?"

"Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action."

"I just want your voice aimed at me again. I want to absorb the direction of your eyes…"
