Prayer Quotes

In prayer we communicate with God, asking for help, thanking Him for all we have, praising him for his faithfulness and abundant creation. Our prayer quotes focus on the fact that there is no one way to pray. Whether you pray once a day or once in awhile, in song or by spoken word, or simply by listening for God’s message in the world around you, you are strengthening your connection with him. Our prayer quote collection, from rabbis, reverends, hospital chaplains and others, will give you different perspectives and insights on the power and practice of prayer.
