Prayers

Well, have a look at some quotes from this people, look at what they have to say about something that they believe in, and to learn to look at things from different prespectives....

When we pray to God we must be seeking nothing - nothing. ~Saint Francis of Assisi

Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish. ~Author Unknown

Prayer is not merely an occasional impulse to which we respond when we are in trouble: prayer is a life attitude. ~Walter A. Mueller

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees. ~Victor Hugo, Les Misérables, 1862

God can pick sense out of a confused prayer. ~Richard Sibbes

God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer. ~Mother Teresa

“Don't pray for lighter burdens, but for stronger backs.”

“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
~Mahatma Gandhi

“Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.”
~St. Augustine

“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to find the meanings underlying them.”
~ Stanley Lindquist

“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
~ Albert Einstein

“We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be”
~ C.S. Lewis

“God makes three requests of his children: Do the best you can, where you are, with what you have, now”

“When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.”
~Charles L. Allen

Pray as if everything depended upon God and work as if everything depended upon man.
~Francis Cardinal Spellman
