The laws of God, the laws of man he may keep that will and can; not I: let God and man decree laws for themselves and not for me.

The wish to pray is a prayer in itself. God can ask no more than that of us.

A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.

It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.

Prayer is a privilege and the soul's sincere desire. We can move beyond routine and 'checklist' prayers and engage in meaningful prayer as we appropriately ask in faith and act, as we patiently persevere through the trial of our faith, and as we humbly acknowledge and accept 'not my will, but Thine, be done.'

Never pray for justice, because you might get some.

I pray as follows: May justice reign, may the laws not be broken, may the wise men be poor, and the poor men rich, without sin.

Some people think that prayer just means asking for things, and if they fail to receive exactly what they asked for, they think the whole thing is a fraud.

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

Prayer and dependence on God has been our history. How unfortunate it is now that an unaccountable and unelected and misguided judge from Wisconsin, Judge Barbara Crabb, has declared National Days of Prayer - established by the Congress - to be unconstitutional.
