The resistance to praying is like the resistance of tightly clenched fists. This image shows a tension, a desire to cling tightly to yourself, a greediness which betrays fear.

I often find myself on my knees praying to something or someone to not be in control.
Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you.
Prayer is not so much the means whereby God's will is bent to man's desires, as it is that whereby man's will is bent to God's desires.
Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness.
Praying is like a rocking chair - it'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.
For the life of me, I still don't understand why humans pray.
When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.
Prayer's important, not just as some kind of a metaphysical exercise, but I think it's a way to refresh one's own mind and motive. If you're praying, you're really looking beyond your own personal thoughts and the pressures that are around you.
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Whoever has not begun the practice of prayer, I beg for the love of the Lord not to go without so great a good. There is nothing here to fear but only something to desire.
