Quotes About Prayer

Prayer modifies or completely changes our subconscious assumptions, and a change of assumption is a change of expression.

Prayer—the art of believing what is denied by the senses—deals almost entirely with the subconscious. Through prayer, the subconscious is suggested into acceptance of the wish fulfilled, and, reasoning deductively, logically unfolds it to its legitimate end.

Prayer succeeds by avoiding conflict. Prayer is, above all things, easy. Its greatest enemy is effort.

Prayer is the art of yielding to the wish and not the forcing of the wish.

You begin to express and possess that which you are conscious of being. Praying, then, is recognising yourself to be that which you desire to be rather than begging God for that which you desire.

Many of us, either from too little emotion or too much intellect, both of which are stumbling blocks in the way of prayer, cannot believe that which our senses deny. To force ourselves to believe will end in greater doubt.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses." Mark 11:24, 25, 26

Spencer has told me to always pray in the affirmative, as though the prayer has already been answered. I should say, "Thank you, God, for helping me be kind and patient."

Saying that I need help just reinforces the problem—helping me wallow in it.

God, I pray that my family will continue on in the faith. Give my children ears to hear and the memory to recall their legacy in future years.
