“Our aim is to appeal to reason. … Prayer is not one of our remedies; it depends on what one is praying for. We consider prayer nothing more than a fervent wish; consequently the merit and worth of a prayer depend upon what the fervent wish is.” ReasonWishPrayerDependsPrayingAimAppealsMeritRemedyFervent Author:Carter G.

“On the ground of our own goodness we cannot expect to have our prayers answered. But Jesus is worthy, and for His sake we may have our prayers answered. There is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for God to give Him. He is worthy. He is the spotless, holy Child, who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of God. And if we trust in Him, if we hide in Him, if we put Him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on Him and plead His name, we may expect to have our prayers answered.” IfsGivingMindMayChildrenChoicesJesusNamesPrayerDependsCircumstancesHolyGoodnessSakeWorthyBackgroundsOur PrayersAnswered Prayers Author:George Muller
“What we feel at prayer is God's business, not ours, and we must strive to be totally abandoned to the presence of 'consolation' or of boredom when we pray. A clear understanding that the value of our prayer does not depend upon how we feel is extremely important if we are to persevere in prayer. So many people feel that if their prayer is distracted it cannot be pleasing to God, and are therefore led to abandon their efforts precisely when fidelity is of the most importance.” PeopleIfsFeelsDoeImportantValuesUnderstandingPrayerEffortClearDependsPrayingImportanceStriveBoredomAbandonAbandonedConsolationDistractedOur PrayersPersevereFidelity Author:Sheila Cassidy

“If we want to read and to pray the prayers of the Bible and especially the Psalms, therefore, we must not ask first what they have to do with us, but what they have to do with Jesus Christ...It does not depend, therefore, on whether the Psalms express adequately that which we feel at a given moment in our heart. If we are to pray aright, perhaps it is quite necessary that we pray contrary to our own heart. Not what we want to pray is important, but what God wants us to pray.” IfsWantFeelsFirstsHeartDoeImportantMomentsAsksJesusGivenChristPrayerDependsPrayingJesus ChristContraryWant UPsalms Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
