God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed.
I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.
Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God
I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things.
To 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 asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.
More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.
