You must pray with all your might. That does not mean saying your prayers, or sitting gazing about in church or chapel with eyes wide open while someone else says them for you. It means fervent, effectual, untiring wrestling with God. This kind of prayer be sure the devil and the world and your own indolent, unbelieving nature will oppose. They will pour water on this flame. ~ William Booth
Fervent Prayer quotes by William Booth
But before going to bed, he fell on his knees and prayed a long time. In his fervent prayer he did not beseech God to lighten his darkness but only thirsted for the joyous emotion, which always visited his soul after the praise and adoration, of which his evening prayer usually consisted. That joy always brought him light untroubled sleep. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Fervent Prayer quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Always put the unknown future into the hands of the known God. He has the key it will take to unlock your locked doors. ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Fervent Prayer quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
like Elijah influenced a nation to repent and overthrew principalities and powers. "Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed, the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced ~ Anderick Biddle
Fervent Prayer quotes by Anderick Biddle
Reggie had to take several deep breaths just to keep from screaming "Take me!" like the heroine in some melodramatic romance novel. Ye gods and little fishes. Would she ever get used to the way this man looked? From the top of his tousled, black hair to the soles of his leather-clad feet, the man oozed masculine perfection. And he was all hers. She offered up a quick and fervent prayer of thanks while he prowled toward her on his hands and knees.
"Help," she whispered, a small smile curving her lips while lust darkened his eyes. "I think I'm about to be ravished by a wicked vampire. Help. Somebody please help me."
"There is no one to hear your screams, girl." He grinned at her, wicked and sexy, while he forced her legs wide apart and crawled between them. "I have you at my mercy."
"And will you be merciful?" Her question made it clear mercy was the last thing she wanted. She reached out to trace a line down the center of his chest before she wrapped her hand around his erect cock.
"Not even if you beg, milka. ~ Christine Warren
Fervent Prayer quotes by Christine Warren
Deeply saddened by the news of the terrorist attacks in central London, the Holy Father offers his fervent prayers for the victims and for all those who mourn. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Fervent Prayer quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
You have no excuse to give ... Jonah prayed fervently even in the belly of the shark! Environment is not a barrier! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Fervent Prayer quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
I enter on the trust to which I have been called by the suffrage of my fellow-citizens with my fervent prayers to the Almighty that He will be graciously pleased to continue to us that protect which He has already so conspicuously displayed in our favor. ~ James Monroe
Fervent Prayer quotes by James Monroe
Sweet serenity is found in fervent prayer. Then, we forget ourselves and remember the reaching hands of the Savior, who said, "Come unto me, all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." As our burdens are shared with Him, they do become lighter. ~ Russell M. Nelson
Fervent Prayer quotes by Russell M. Nelson
Parents should teach their children to pray. The child learns both from what the parents do and what they say. The child who sees a mother or a father pass through the trials of life with fervent prayer to God and then hears a sincere testimony that God answered in kindness will remember what he or she saw and heard. When trials come, that individual will be prepared. ~ Henry B. Eyring
Fervent Prayer quotes by Henry B. Eyring
Love is not a word or an idea or even a place to go to or a thing to strive for. It is not something to grasp and smother and mold and change. It cannot be orchestrated, played, controlled or manipulated. You can not cup it tenderly in your open hand or wish it into being through fervent prayer. ~ Vanessa G. Foster
Fervent Prayer quotes by Vanessa G. Foster
Leadership requires vision, and whence will vision come except from hours spent in the presence of God in humble and fervent prayer? ~ Aiden Wilson Tozer
Fervent Prayer quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is possible to offer fervent prayer even while walking in public or strolling alone or seated in your shop ... while buying or selling ... or even while cooking. ~ Saint John Chrysostom
Fervent Prayer quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness. ~ William Carey
Fervent Prayer quotes by William Carey
When God intends a mercy for his people, he stirs up the spirit of prayer in them. Fervency unites the soul and directs the thoughts to the work at hand. It will not allow diversions and denies all foreign thoughts seeking to intrude. Pray fervently or you do nothing. Cold praying is no more prayer than a painting of fire is fire. How can prayers that do not even warm your own heart move God's? A fervent prayer will never find a cold reception with God. Elijah's prayer called fire down from heaven because it carried fire up to heaven. ~ William Gurnall
Fervent Prayer quotes by William Gurnall
Fervent prayer keeps your true identity in focus. ~ Priscilla Shirer
Fervent Prayer quotes by Priscilla Shirer
Cardan's eyebrows rise, but he has all the appearance of blissful unconcern. "My lady, you flatter me. I had no idea you were interested."

Her gaze is unflinching as she passes her gift to one of Cardan's personal guard. "May you grow into the wisdom of your counselors."

"The fervent prayer of many," he says. ~ Holly Black
Fervent Prayer quotes by Holly Black
The most fervent prayer meetings are in hell. ~ Leonard Ravenhill
Fervent Prayer quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
Hear me now or regret it later: Everything you write must be read aloud. Once all the context items are in place, this is the final test for any written piece...Do not neglect your sense of hearing in the process of writing and reading. As a longtime teacher of English as a foreign language, I can tell you on good authority that you have been listening to the English language at least five or six years longer than you have been writing and reading. And, most probably, your ears also had eighteen or more years of familiarity with the language before you began to read or write with a writer's sensibility. For these reasons, your ears know when things sound okay, good, beautiful, strange, awkward, or just plain bad, before your eye can pick up on such things...Your written voice should burn with the fire of fervent prayer, soothe like a friend's voice during a late-night phone call, alure like a lover's whisper. You must, through your accessible, infinitely read-aloudable voice, make your audience into an insatiable reader of your words. ~ Jiro Adachi
Fervent Prayer quotes by Jiro Adachi
Finally, it is my most fervent prayer to that Almighty Being before whom I now stand, and who has kept us in His hands from the infancy of our Republic to the present day, that He will so overrule all my intentions and actions and inspire the hearts of my fellow-citizens that we may be preserved from dangers of all kinds and continue forever a united and happy people. ~ Andrew Jackson
Fervent Prayer quotes by Andrew Jackson
Pray and read your Bible daily. God has all the answers you seek ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Fervent Prayer quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
If the Letter to the Hebrews treats the entire Passion as a prayer in which Jesus wrestles with God the Father and at the same time with human nature, it also sheds new light on the theological depth of the Mount of Olives prayer. For these cries and pleas are seen as Jesus' way of exercising his high priesthood. It is through his cries, his tears, and his prayers that Jesus does what the high priest is meant to do: he holds up to God the anguish of human existence. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Fervent Prayer quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
A man actually has two Gods. The one, created him and the other, he created. Nature is not the first God but the first God exists in and as a part of the nature; a man with the help his reason creates a God against the forces of nature that are perceived to be as threat, hence the second God. The second God is the property of an individual mind that created it. A child has no reason and hence it has no second God; but it has the first God not yet known to it because the fear is not felt by the child! The first God is felt and known due to the fear ingrained in the instinct and the second God is the surrender and prayer brought out by the reason! ~ Thiruman Archunan
Fervent Prayer quotes by Thiruman Archunan
God's first line of defense - and offense - for every situation is prayer. ~ Joyce Meyer
Fervent Prayer quotes by Joyce Meyer
For the faithful, Spirit-filled Christian, every place becomes a place of prayer. ~ John F. MacArthur Jr.
Fervent Prayer quotes by John F. MacArthur Jr.
In a deserted stretch of the Karadj highway Munis had come face-to-face with unbridled lust, although she knew what lust was before being touched by it. The problem was that she had an unbounded awareness of things, an awareness that instilled undue caution in her, making her fearful that action would lead to ignominy, humiliation. This created in her a desire to be ordinary, average. Yet she did not truly know what it meant to be ordinary. She did not know that it meant not loving an earthworm, not genuflecting at the altar of withered leaves, not standing in prayer at the call of a lark, not climbing a mountain to see the sunrise, not staying awake all night to gaze at the Ursa Major. She did not differentiate between earth and gravel, but she distinguished the earth from the sky. She had not seen the skies of the earth, but she knew there were earths of the sky. She saw herself in an inevitable process of stagnation. She was already partially rotten within.
"What can I do with this mass of trivial knowledge?" she wondered aloud. "How can I cut through it? ~ Shahrnush Parsipur
Fervent Prayer quotes by Shahrnush Parsipur
Every time someone ends a prayer in the Western world they say Amen - that is the name of an Egyptian god associated with completion. So we're still praying to their gods. ~ Whitley Strieber
Fervent Prayer quotes by Whitley Strieber
say that "prayer changes things" is not as close to the truth as saying, "Prayer changes me and then I change things." God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things. Prayer is not a matter of changing things externally, but one of working miracles in a person's inner nature. ~ Oswald Chambers
Fervent Prayer quotes by Oswald Chambers
Instead of school busing and prayer in schools, which are both controversial, why not a joint solution? Prayer in buses. Just drive these kids around all day and let them pray their fuckn' empty little heads off. ~ George Carlin
Fervent Prayer quotes by George Carlin
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lo ~ Carl Sagan
Fervent Prayer quotes by Carl Sagan
My prayer is that before they die, all people know that they are loved ~ Maryanne Raphael
Fervent Prayer quotes by Maryanne Raphael
Scripture says: "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted." I call on every American family and the family of America to observe a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, honoring the memory of the thousands of victims of these brutal attacks and comforting those who lost loved ones. We will persevere through this national tragedy and personal loss. In time, we will find healing and recovery; and, in the face of all this evil, we remain strong and united, "one Nation under God." ~ George W. Bush
Fervent Prayer quotes by George W. Bush
Sometimes you can just feel when someone has been praying for you. Whomever it is Thank you!! ~ Amanda Penland
Fervent Prayer quotes by Amanda Penland
I think thy horse will sooner con an oration than
thou learn a prayer without book. ~ William Shakespeare
Fervent Prayer quotes by William Shakespeare
Whoever prays twelve rakats during the night and day, a house will be built for him in paradise. Four before dhuhr, and two after, two rakats after maghrib, two rakats after ishaa, and two rakats before fajr prayer. ~ Muhammad
Fervent Prayer quotes by Muhammad
See, loving heart, how He delights in you. When you lean your head on His bosom, you not only receive, but you give Him joy; when you gaze with love upon His all-glorious face, you not only obtain comfort, but impart delight. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Fervent Prayer quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
There are over 100 Avestan words in the Bible, both in the Old and New Testaments, and Avestan is the sacred language of the Zoroastrians, only ever used by Zoroastrians in prayer and worship. ~ Peter B. Lockhart
Fervent Prayer quotes by Peter B. Lockhart
Prayer bends the omnipotence of heaven to your desire. Prayer moves the hand that moves the world. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Fervent Prayer quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
The biggest misconception about success is "you're lucky". It's not a coincidence, it takes hard work. Prayer without work is dead. ~ Anderecco
Fervent Prayer quotes by Anderecco
After much prayer, careful study and reliance on the Holy Spirit, I have concluded this about Christ's intercession for us. Jesus died on the cross to purchase peace with God for me – and He is in heaven now to maintain that peace, for me and in me. ~ David Wilkerson
Fervent Prayer quotes by David Wilkerson
The trains in any country contain the essential paraphernalia of the culture: Thai trains have the shower jar with the glazed dragon on its side, Singhalese ones the car reserved for Buddhist monks, Indian ones a vegetarian kitchen and six classes, Iranian ones prayer mats, Malaysian ones a noodle stall, Vietnamese ones bulletproof glass on the locomotive, and on every carriage of a Russian train there is a samovar. The railway bazaar, with its gadgets and passengers, represented the society so completely that to board it was to be challenged by the national character. ~ Paul Theroux
Fervent Prayer quotes by Paul Theroux
Now I would solicit the particular attention of those numerous people who imagine that money is everything in this world, and that rank and ability are inseparable from wealth: let them observe that Cincinnatus, the one man in whom Rome reposed all her hope of survival, was at that moment working a little three-acre farm (now known as Quinctian meadows) west of the Tiber, just opposite the spot where the shipyards are today. A mission from the city found him at work on his land - digging a ditch, maybe, or ploughing. Greetings were exchanged, and he was asked - with a prayer for God's blessing on himself and his country - to put on his toga and hear the Senate's instructions. This naturally surprised him, and, asking if all were well, he told his wife Racilia to run to their cottage and fetch his toga. The toga was brought, and wiping the grimy sweat from his hands and face he put it on; at once the envoys from the city saluted him, with congratulations, as Dictator, invited him to enter Rome, and informed him of the terrible danger of Minucius's army. ~ Livy
Fervent Prayer quotes by Livy
Anger is Always built upon a foundation of fear and suffering. ~ Raymond D. Longoria Jr.
Fervent Prayer quotes by Raymond D. Longoria Jr.
To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer. ~ Martin Luther
Fervent Prayer quotes by Martin Luther
[There is a] kind of all-embracing universality evident in Mother Teresa's prayer: "May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in." Not just fellow nuns, Catholics, Calcuttans, Indians. The whole world. It gives me pause to realize that, were such a prayer said by me and answered by God, I would afterward possess a heart so open that even hate-driven zealots would fall inside ... [My] sense of the world as a gift, my sense of a grace operative in this world despite its terrors, propels me to allow the world to open my heart still wider, even if the openness comes by breaking - for I have seen the whole world fall into a few hearts, and nothing has ever struck me as more beautiful. ~ David James Duncan
Fervent Prayer quotes by David James Duncan
On September 16,1978, there was an eclipse of the moon in Riyadh. Late one afternoon it became visible: a dark shadow moving slowly across the face of the pale moon in the darkening blue sky. There was a frantic knocking on the door.When I opened it, our neighbor asked if we were safe. He said it was the Day of Judgment, when the Quran says the sun will rise from the west and the seas will flood, when all the dead will rise and Allah's angels will weigh our sins and virtue, expediting the good to Paradise and the bad to Hell. Though it was barely twilight, the muezzin suddenly called for prayer - not one mosque calling carefully after the other, as they usually did, but all the mosques clamoring all at once, all over the city. There was shouting across the neighborhood. When I looked outside I saw people praying in the street. Now more neighbors came knocking,asking us to pardon past misdeeds. They told us children to pray for them, because children's prayers are answered most. The gates of Hell yawned open before us. We were panicked.... but the next morning, the sun was safely in its usual place, fat and implacable, and the world wasn't ending after all. ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Fervent Prayer quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
So she prayed, Lord, give me patience. She knew that was not an honest prayer, and she did not linger over it ... it cost her tears to think that her situation might actually be that desolate, so she prayed again for patience, for tact, for understanding
for every virtue that might keep her safe from conflicts that would be sure to leave her wounded, every virtue that might at least help her to preserve an appearance of dignity, for heaven's sake. ~ Marilynne Robinson
Fervent Prayer quotes by Marilynne Robinson
The moment you start to fear God is the moment demons begin to fear you. ~ Cyc Jouzy
Fervent Prayer quotes by Cyc Jouzy
I feel that we should stop wasting our time trying to please the supernatural and concentrate on improving the welfare of human beings. I think that, uh, we should use our energy and our initiative to solve our problems, and stop relying on prayer and wishful thinking. If we have faith in ourselves, we won't have to have faith in gods. ~ Ruth Hurmence Green
Fervent Prayer quotes by Ruth Hurmence Green
...one of our great spiritual guides, Theophan the Recluse, says: 'The awareness of God shall be with you as clearly as a toothache. ~ Anthony Bloom
Fervent Prayer quotes by Anthony Bloom
You might not be able to change your situation but prayer can. ~ Jerry Kinard
Fervent Prayer quotes by Jerry Kinard
A dull, dark, depressing day in Winter: the whole world looks like a Methodist church at Wednesday night prayer meeting. ~ H.L. Mencken
Fervent Prayer quotes by H.L. Mencken
My heart and prayers go out to all single moms because it's tough, and I can't imagine any teenager dealing with a baby and all those hormones raging. ~ Jill Scott
Fervent Prayer quotes by Jill Scott
Prayer is the way and means God has appointed for the communication of the blessings of His goodness to His people. ~ Arthur W. Pink
Fervent Prayer quotes by Arthur W. Pink
I liked this God very much because you hardly had to talk to it and it never talked back.
Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality ~ Donald Miller
Fervent Prayer quotes by Donald Miller
She knew that oftentimes hurtful people were hurting people, so she determined to pray for them all the more. ~ J.E.B. Spredemann
Fervent Prayer quotes by J.E.B. Spredemann
It is God who gives us the spirit of worship (Psalm 133:3), and it is what we know of God that produces this spirit of worship. We might say that worship is simply theology, doctrine, what we think about God, going into top gear! Instead of merely thinking about Him, we tell Him, in prayer and praise and song, how great and glorious we believe Him to be! ~ Sinclair B. Ferguson
Fervent Prayer quotes by Sinclair B. Ferguson
Man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips. ~ Viktor E. Frankl
Fervent Prayer quotes by Viktor E. Frankl
If He strips us of all our own resources, we just might learn to lean on Him. And to start praying again. ~ Lynn Austin
Fervent Prayer quotes by Lynn Austin
Worrying is just a prayer for the worst possible scenario. ~ Daphne Oz
Fervent Prayer quotes by Daphne Oz
The church that does not evangelize will fossilize. ~ Oswald J. Smith
Fervent Prayer quotes by Oswald J. Smith
It is pleasant to think that in heaven the divisive issues that seemed so important on earth will no longer concern us as we feast in a fellowship of love. Prayer: Father, make us steadfast in our core beliefs, and make us charitable about nonessentials. Amen. ~ J. Stephen Lang
Fervent Prayer quotes by J. Stephen Lang
May the Lord revive the crushed spirit. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Fervent Prayer quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
