Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
Prayer is not a substitute for work. First we have to do all we can ourselves to understand a situation. Then when we ask for help, sometimes it is very evident, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes we may well be helped by not getting a decision.
Prayer is man's greatest power!
Until you pray, God cannot work.
Work is a prayer. And I start off every morning dedicating it to our Creator.
It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
I've always believed in the power of prayer. One prayer can accomplish more than a thousand plans. That isn't a magic formula, but it's an idea that if you pray, keep praying and then praying some more.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Until I feel strong enough to pray sincerely and to act accordingly, I would rather not pray at all.
We do not pray to God to instruct Him as to what He should do; neither for a moment must we presume to dictate the method of the divine working.
