It's very important to have that prayer life. It's very important to communicate always.

If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you're listening. Playing the piano allows you to do both at the same time.

Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.

Well look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don't do any good, but they don't necessarily do any harm. It's touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I've got my just desserts.

Woe to the generation of sons who find their censers empty of the rich incense of prayer, whose fathers have been too busy or too unbelieving to pray, and perils inexpressible and consequences untold are their unhappy heritage.

I have relied on prayer for health care all of my life.

I really believe in prayer.

Without our faith, we wouldn't have been able to succeed. On many occasions, before we'd go out on a sit-in, before we went on the freedom ride, before we marched from Selma to Montgomery, we would sing a song or say a prayer. Without our faith, without the spirit and spiritual bearings and underpinning, we would not have been so successful.

I get up earlier than my husband and I intentionally spend time in prayer and Bible reading just to focus myself for the day, because the days get crazy.

Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon.

I've taught a lot about prayer over the years and how it is really just talking to God.

In our home there was always prayer - aloud, proud and unapologetic.

I say a little prayer every time I see a race. I say a little prayer that the riders and the horses will be okay.

If a prayer is the way we talk to God, if a million people pray, that's got to be one big message.

I must ask the Lord to direct the Holy Spirit within me to drain the life out of sin and in prayer.

If we really want to achieve true prayer, we must turn our backs upon everything temporal, everything external, everything that is not divine.

The prayers of cowards fortune spurns.

Each heartfelt prayer, each Church meeting attended, each worthy friend, each righteous decision, each act of service perfomed all precede that goal of eternal life.

I grew up in the Holiness Church, where prayer was an event.
