Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.

Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn't burn up any fossil fuel, doesn't pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance

Gratitude is an opener of locked-up blessings.

If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.

Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some.

The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies but the thankful heart... will find in every hour some heavenly blessings.

The Constitution was never meant to prevent people from praying, it's declared purpose was to protect their freedom to pray

To control the breathing is to control the mind. With different patterns of breathing, you can fall in love, you can hate someone, you can feel the whole spectrum of feelings by changing your breathing.

Prayers are prophecies. They are the best predictors of your spiritual future. Who you become is determined by how you pray. Ultimately, the transcript of your prayers becomes the script of your life.

Prayer is picking a fight with the Enemy. It's spiritual warfare. Intercession transports us from the sidelines to the front lines without going anywhere. And that is where the battle is won or lost. Prayer is the difference between us fighting for God and God fighting for us. But we can't just hit our knees. We also have to take a step, take a stand. And when we do, we never know what God will do next.

Imagination is the road less taken, but it is the pathway of prayer.

We give up too easily. We give up too soon. We quit praying right before the miracle happens.
