My mom taught us the Serenity Prayer at a young age.
God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.
Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation the source of strength is one's self. When one prays he goes to a source of strength greater than his own.
The relationship to one's fellow man is the relationship of prayer, the relationship to oneself is the relationship of striving; it is from prayer that one draws the strength for one's striving.
In our home there was always prayer - aloud, proud and unapologetic.
I read a poem every night, as others read a prayer.
The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.
Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul; man cannot live in health without them.
The scientific observer of Nature is a kind of mystic seeker in the act of prayer.
Prayer gives a man the opportunity of getting to know a gentleman he hardly ever meets. I do not mean his maker, but himself.
Action is the normal completion of the act of will which begins as prayer. That action is not always external, but it is always some kind of effective energy.
There is no greater distance than that between a man in prayer and God.
Prayer is an august avowal of ignorance.
To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.
I know no words of prayer - God help me because I can not help myself.
