The true purpose is not to obtain the things we want from God but rather to make us content with the things He wants us to have.

When we are praying in the Holy Spirit, we will not be trying to talk God into doing something He does not want to do, but rather we will be yielding to the Holy Spirit, who knows what is best for us.

Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind, and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strength.

Keep praying, but be thankful that God's answers are wiser than your prayers!

God answers prayer in His own way, not ours.

In prayer we see the issues; by prayer we are moved to act.

What God sends is better than what men ask for.

He who prays for his neighbor will be heard for himself.
