I have not placed reading before praying because I regard it more important, but because, in order to pray aright, we must understand what we are praying for.

It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer.

Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.

The road to the sacred leads through the secular.

I believe that the greatest form of prayer is praise to God.

Reading is a form of prayer, a guided meditation that briefly makes us believe we're someone else, disrupting the delusion that we're permanent and at the center of the universe. Suddenly (we're saved!) other people are real again, and we're fond of them.

Prayer is the beginning and the end, the source and the fruit, the core and the content, the basis and the goal of all peacemaking.

I am a religious person and rely heavily on prayers.

Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.
