Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.

Prayer is a thought, a belief, a feeling, arising within the mind of the one praying.

Prayer is where the action is.

It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.

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.

I prayed like a man walking in a forest at night, feeling his way with his hands, at each step fearing to fall into pure bottomlessness forever. Prayer is like lying awake at night, afraid, with your head under the cover, hearing only the beating of your own heart.

When life knocks you to your knees, and it will, why, get up! If it knocks you to your knees again, as it will, well, isn't that the best position from which to pray?

Prayer opens the heart to God, and it is the means by which the soul, though empty, is filled by God.

I often find myself on my knees praying to something or someone to not be in control.

Prayer is a form of meditation, isn't it? It's laws of attraction: whatever you put out into the universe is what it receives. It's just kind of putting your thoughts out into the universe.
