Daily Prayer Quotes

“I give this day to you, the fruit of my labor and the desires of my heart. In your hands I place all questions, on your shoulders I place all burdens. I pray for my brothers and for myself. May we return to love. May our minds be healed. May we all be blessed. May we find our way home from pain to peace, from fear to love, from hell to heaven. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and forever. Amen.”

“Happy man, who is dead to the world, and alive to God! separated from the world, and collected into Christ! Blessed is the man into whose heart such Divine graces are infused, as withdraw it wholly from every tendency to inferior things, and exalt it to the supernal light and glory in the heavens. To obtain which, it is needful to pray daily and instantly to God: seeing it is not possible for a Christian to live without it,”

“No matter how many times people bear the same testimony, no matter how marvelous the miracles they recite, no one’s spiritual experience will ever be as convincing as your own. Prayer combined with obedience to God’s commandments prepare us for His blessings. Those blessings, when recognized and appreciated, plant a seed of faith. Faith then precedes the receiving of miracles, which are spiritual experiences that grow a personal testimony.

So if you want spiritual experiences, start by offering daily prayer and strict obedience to God. Blessings, faith, and miracles will develop from those roots and eventually blossom into a powerful personal testimony.”

“Would you ever decide to do all your exercising just one day out of every week? Would you choose to consume your weekly calorie intake in one sitting? Would you take all your vitamins and medications for the week on one day and restrict your conversations and socializing to that day? Would you determine to do all your laughing, crying, and meditating on one out of every seven days? Would you sleep for 24 to 48 hours consecutively to stay awake for the remainder of the week?

Of course not!

Certainly our physical, emotional, and mental health require daily efforts. We do not expect healthiness to come from attending to our needs just one day a week. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, relationships, emotional expression, self-monitoring—these require daily attention. So why would you think to keep spiritually healthy by doing all your praying and scripture study only one day out of seven?”

“God has promised to answer our earnest prayers. Not necessarily right away or in the manner we hope to receive the answers, but He has promised in His ways and in His timing to answer our prayers. So what do you have to lose by asking God your honest questions and desires?”
