The God of justice is with us, and our word, our work - our prayer for freedom will not, cannot be in vain.

However one might pray - in any verbal way or completely without words - is unimportant to God. What matters is the heart's intent.

Until I feel strong enough to pray sincerely and to act accordingly, I would rather not pray at all.

Prayer is our invitation to God to intervene in the affairs of earth. It is our request for Him to work His ways in this world.

The custom of speaking to God Almighty as freely as with a slave - caring nothing whether the words are suitable or not, but simply saying the first thing that comes to mind from being learnt by rote by frequent repetition - cannot be called prayer: God grant that no Christian may address Him in this manner.

Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness.

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.

For hundreds of millions of Americans who believe in God, prayer is our bridge between Earth and Heaven, our way of opening our hearts to the Lord. Through this intimate relationship we find peace and guidance.

For me, in my Christian belief, prayer is not an opportunity to manipulate God into doing what you want him to. Prayer is an opportunity to have a conversation with God to try to get in tune with what his will is.
