George W. Bush Quotes

By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.

God allows circumstances to build us up. God has got our back.

I think I'm a spiritual person. I don't really go to church often when services are on, but I like going in when they are empty and quiet, and just sitting there and thinking for a little while.

Prayer is a privilege and the soul's sincere desire.

Do not neglect secret prayer, for it is the soul of religion.

Ministers should not pray so loud, and long, as to exhaust the strength. It is not necessary to weary the throat and lungs in prayer. God's ear is ever open to hear the heart-felt petitions of his humble servants, and he does not require them to wear out the organs of speech in addressing him.

When we pray, instead of trying to produce love in our souls toward God, we should be basking in God's love for us. How foolish to stay indoors in the cold, dark little room off the self, trying to turn on the light and turn up the heat, when we can just go outside into God's glorious Sonlight and receive his rays! How silly to fuss with artificial tanning salons and lotions and lights when the Son is out!

We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God

Prayer and sacrifice can touch souls better than words.

When God sets His heart on you, you will be tried often. But the longer and harder your affliction, the more deeply God has set His heart on you, to show you His love and care.

You pray best when the mirror of your soul is empty of every image except the Image of the Invisible Father.

Only in prayer can we learn to love God with all our heart, mind and soul.

Prayer is the human response to the perpetual outpouring of love by which God lays siege to every soul.
