In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noises and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature-trees, flowers, grass-grow in silence. Is not our mission to give God to those we walk with? Not a dead God, but a living, loving God. The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in active life. We need silence to be able to touch souls. The essential thing is not what we say, but what God says to us and through us. Words that don't give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
Every positive thought is a silent prayer which will change your life.
If you do all the talking when you pray, how will you ever hear God's answers?
Don't worry about having the right words; worry more about having the right heart. It's not eloquence he seeks, just honesty.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
The easiest way to get touch with this universal power is through silent Prayer. Shut your eyes, shut your mouth, and open your heart. This is the golden rule of prayer. Prayer should be soundless words coming forth from the centre of your heart filled with love.
We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying
When you suffer, don't speak. Look inside and listen for the duaa He inspires in you. and then ask Him. Again and again. Don't stop.
The more we can give in our silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life.
True meditation has no direction or goal. It is pure wordless surrender, pure silent prayer.
Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?
I felt so full of gratitude and humility that I clasped my hands in front of me, closed my eyes and said a silent prayer of thanks to God... I had at last achieved something I'd wanted for so long... My insides bubbled with happiness. It was a dream come true.
People may resist our advice, spurn our appeals, reject our suggestions, refuse our help, but they are powerless against our prayers.
Never do I argue with a man with a desire to hear him say what is wrong, or to expose him and win victory over him. Whenever I face an opponent in debate I silently pray - O Lord, help him so that truth may flow from his heart and on his tongue, and so that if truth is on my side, he may follow me; and if truth be on his side, I may follow him.
Prayer is a gift from Almighty God that transforms us, whether we bow our heads in solitude, or offer swift and silent prayers in times of trial. Prayer humbles us by reminding us of our place in creation. Prayer strengthens us by reminding us that God loves and cares for each and every soul in His creation. And prayer blesses us by reminding us that there is a divine plan that stands above all human plans.
I talk to God but the sky is empty.
I have so fixed the habit in my own mind that I never raise a glass of water to my lips without a moment's asking of God's blessing. I never seal a letter without putting a word of prayer under the seal. I never take a letter from the post without a brief sending of my thoughts heavenward. I never change classes in the section room without a minute's petition on the cadets who go out and those who come in.
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.
A growing community must integrate three elements: a life of silent prayer, a life of service and above all of listening to the poor, and a community life through which all its members can grow in their own gift.
How to overcome that seemingly impossible issue... Pray more words about it than you speak.
