Prayers are tools not for doing or getting but for being and becoming.

Go where your best prayers take you.
A powerful shift happens when I pray for someone. I start to see that person in relationship to God instead of in relationship to me. Instead of seeing how he annoys me or how she makes me jealous, I see how God loves them.
God, grant me the serenity to stop beating myself up for not doing things perfectly, the courage to forgive myself because I'm working on doing better, and the wisdom to know that you already love me just the way I am.
Hear that? Someone's praying for you!
Prayer is a battle, and every warrior gets tired. Remember though: You are not alone.
There is never a wrong time to pray.
I've often thought, 'I'm nobody. Why would God answer my prayer?' But God's not impressed by eloquence; he's impressed by our longing for him.
More than anything, praying helps me concentrate and let go of things that don't matter in that moment. It gives me peace knowing I'm in good hands.
It always helps to have a bit of prayer in your back pocket. At the end of the day, you have to have something. and for me that is God. Jesus. My Catholic upbringing. My faith.
Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
Prayer is not 'whistling in the dark' -- it is 'walking toward the light'.
