"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it."

(Letter to Étienne Noël Damilaville, May 16, 1767)"
― Voltaire

"God answers all prayers, but sometimes his answer is 'no'."

"For Equilibrium, a Blessing:
Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore,
May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul.

As the wind loves to call things to dance,
May your gravity by lightened by grace.

Like the dignity of moonlight restoring the earth,
May your thoughts incline with reverence and respect.

As water takes whatever shape it is in,
So free may you be about who you become.

As silence smiles on the other side of what's said,
May your sense of irony bring perspective.

As time remains free of all that it frames,
May your mind stay clear of all it names.

May your prayer of listening deepen enough
to hear in the depths the laughter of god."
― John O'Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings

"The most preposterous notion that Homo sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history."
― Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love

"Dear Child,

Sometimes on your travel through hell, you meet people that think they are in heaven because of their cleverness and ability to get away with things. Travel past them because they don't understand who they have become and never will. These type of people feel justified in revenge and will never learn mercy or forgiveness because they live by comparison. They are the people that don't care about anyone, other than who is making them feel confident. They don't understand that their deity is not rejoicing with them because of their actions, rather he is trying to free them from their insecurities, by softening their heart. They rather put out your light than find their own. They don't have the ability to see beyond the false sense of happiness they get from destroying others. You know what happiness is and it isn't this. Don't see their success as their deliverance. It is a mask of vindication which has no audience, other than their own kind. They have joined countless others that call themselves "survivors". They believe that they are entitled to win because life didn't go as planned for them. You are not like them. You were not meant to stay in hell and follow their belief system. You were bound for greatness. You were born to help them by leading. Rise up and be the light home. You were given the gift to see the truth. They will have an army of people that are like them and you are going to feel alone. However, your family in heaven stands beside you now. They are your strength and as countless as the stars. It is time to let go!

Love,

Your Guardian Angel"
― Shannon L. Alder

"Those who pray for your downfall are concentrating negative thoughts towards you, without taking cognisance of the slippery ground in which they are standing, which could lead to their downfall."
― Michael Bassey Johnson

"Some women pray for their daughters to marry good husbands. I pray that my girls will find girlfriends half as loyal and true as the Ya-Yas."
― Rebecca Wells, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

"Do Something!

I was sitting on a plane after a long, tiring business trip. I was a bit grouchy and irritable because the rigorous schedule I had made for myself left me exhausted. Looking to not talk to the person next to me and simply endure the flight, I decided to open my newspaper and read about what was happening in the world. As I continued to read, it seemed that everywhere I looked there were stories of injustice, pain, suffering, and people losing hope. Finally, fueled by my tired, irritable state, I became overcome with compassion and frustration for the way things were. I got up and went to the bathroom and broke down.
With tears streaming down my face, I helplessly looked to the sky and yelled to God.
"God, look at this mess. Look at all this pain and suffering. Look at all this killing and hate. God, how could you let this happen? Why don't you do something?"
Just then, a quiet stillness pacified my heart. A feeling of peace I won't ever forget engulfed my body.
And, as I looked into my own eyes in the mirror, the answer to my own question came back to me…
"Steve, stop asking God to do something. God already did something, he gave you life. Now YOU do something!"
― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

"I went to the recreation room and knelt down in front of the same Nativity scene where I'd prayed to Baby Jesus to find my mother when I was a child. I looked at him lying there in his bed of hay and wondered why this scene never left me. Over the years, whenever I prayed, I prayed to Baby Jesus. He was the miracle baby who never grew up. I believed that he really listened to me and often answered me. As I knelt there I realized that Sister Silvestris was right all along. She told us every Christmas that whatever we asked of Baby Jesus he'd grant us."
― Maria Nhambu, Africa's Child

"Lord, please do this ... or do something better!"
― Priscilla Shirer, God is Able

"إن الطريق إلى إقامة الصلاة حقاً هو استشعار عظمة الله فى القلب و الإحساس بأن يقف الإنسان بين يدى من بيده ملكوت كل شئ...إن المرء منا يتزين و يتجمل و يظهر بوجهه الجميل لمن يحب، أو يفعل ذلك إذا قابل مسؤلاً ما أو عظيماً من عظماء الأرض أو حاكماً أو أميراًأو سلطاناً و كل هؤلاء عبادإ مثلناً..كيف يجب أن نقف أمام رب العباد ؟،لو وقفنابالخشوع الواجب فليس على المؤمن أن يحمل هم الإجابة، فإذا ألهم الدعاء ..ألهم الإجابة معه ً"
― أحمد بهجت, تأملات في عذوبة الكون

"Children make prayers so thoughtlessly, building them up like sand castles—and they are always surprised when suddenly the castle becomes real, and the iron gate grinds shut."
― Catherynne M. Valente, In the Night Garden

"Cause that's the way prayer do. It's like electricity, it keeps things going."
― Kathryn Stockett, The Help

"Our prayers for others flow more easily than those for ourselves. This shows we are made to live by charity."
― C.S. Lewis.

"Were prayers of murderers, when fighting on the "right side" of the war, ever heard—let alone answered?"
― Kristina McMorris, Letters from Home

"There are many problems which could only
be solved by generations which are still to be
born later. It's only one way of many how God
gives answers to human problems and prayers."
― Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut

"As a child I had been taught to say my prayers at the start of every day, and so it did not seem an odd thing for me to stand out in the field and say "Oh God whatever happens today let it be under your perfect control."
― John Masters, 2 Pork Chops!

"I've always wondered how much can you do for your fellow man if your hands are constantly stuck together in Prayers for them?"
― Stanley Victor Paskavich

"Ukitaka kujua maana halisi ya maisha yako kuwa tayari kufanya vitu vikubwa vitakavyohitaji nguvu ya Mungu kuvikamilisha – na kudumu katika maisha hayo kwa kafara ya maombi."
― Enock Maregesi

"Fame is not the reason why brands are created and erected. Be diligent, focused and chain unceasing prayers to God who will continue giving you cheers."
― Israelmore Ayivor, Shaping the dream

"Let your new energy, new thoughts, new attitude, new routine & new outlook make this time most sacred, memorable & beautiful for you & others. Let you also begin to see greater in everything & believe in unexplainable possibilities. Let you grow in ways which you never knew was possible.

Darling listen – Don't let the magic in the air get swallowed up by someone's nonsensical thoughts, words, comments & by any kind of pressure in the air.

I wish & pray that these last few days of this year be the best part of this year for you & everyone!

Stay Healthy, Happy & Meaningful! Blessings!"

"It came at last.

"'Dr. Graham, tell me,' she asked tremulously, 'do you believe that prayers - wicked unreasonable prayers - are granted?'

He helped himself to another slice of bread-and-butter before answering. 'Well-' he said slowly, 'it seems hard to believe that every fool who has a voice to pray with and a brain to conceive idiotic requests should be permitted to interfere with the economy of the universe. As a rule, if people were long-sighted enough to foresee the result of their petitions, I fancy very few of us would venture to interfere.' ("The Story of A Ghost")"
― Violet Hunt, Ghostly By Gaslight

"Elva had said nothing to anyone. She prayed earnestly that she was "all right", explaining over and over again to God what the doctor had said, and how she couldn't properly look after the children she already had. Elva liked to pray in front of a statue similar to the one in her mother's living-room. She was not praying to the statue, but it was a kind of magical doll that kept her thoughts focussed on the Being to whom she prayed."
― Ruth Park, Serpent's Delight

"Cassie's voice held that soft, pleading tone that indicated she wanted the pettiness in Alice to edge down a notch to a bearable level."
― Kellyn Roth, A Prayer Unanswered

"Just because I pray in another language and style will make my prayers invalid.
Just because I represent myself through different attire and color will make my being astray.
Just because I name my place of worship something else will make my worship null.
Just because I prostrate in some direction will that make any other direction void?"
― Aiyaz Uddin

"I know for sure that so many dreams will become a reality in this month of October. So many of the prayers will be answered. So many ideas, creative thoughts & intentions will be manifesting for so many people around the world.

Darling listen – I wish you to be one of them! I wish this blessing of change in season brings you whatever you have been praying for & expecting. Let it bring you everlasting bliss & everything that is good for your mind, body & spirit.

Sweetheart, I want you to fix your thoughts on what is pure, honorable, graceful, lovely & excellent. I also want you to focus & do some real things that are not only good & worthy of praise, but also make you proud of yourself & bring you closer to your God.

I wish your existence alone would become deserving of celebration, very soon. I pray & hope that you succeed & prosper in every area of your life, be in good health & remain in high spirits throughout.

Happy new month, October!"
― Rajesh Goyal
