I am thankful that there are those among us who have sacrificed dearly on behalf of us. And I ardently pray to God that I might be less like myself and more like them.

If you've been foolish enough to underestimate the power of prayer then you've probably been naive enough to overestimate the power of everything else.

If I were to sit down and count them, how many of my prayers were tainted by the seduction of greed? None, simply because nothing of that sort is a prayer.

If I am indeed my own god, I’d better start praying to myself to get myself out of myself.

Prayer is one action where I lay aside my abilities to immerse myself wholly in God’s capabilities. And the liberation found in such an action is less about being engaged with God and more about being freed from myself.

My prayer is that God would continue to love me enough to refuse to answer the prayers I'm praying that I shouldn't be praying.

The greatest men stand on their values and pray on their knees.

It is at the moment that we began to pray that the darkness begins to die.

It’s not the image of standing on my principles that I want my children to remember. Rather, it’s understanding that being on my knees was the single thing that allowed me to stand on those principles.
