25 best short quotes on prayer
Our 25 best short quotes on prayer bring the art of talking with God into sharp focus.
Prayer is an art, one that improves with practice. Most of us turn to God when we're desperate. On rare occasions, when something wonderful happens to us, we'll toss off a quick word of thanks, hardly ever equivalent to the blessing we've received.
But God is understanding. He appreciates how hard prayer is for us. It seems to our earthbound senses that we're talking to ourselves. After all, we don't hear an audible answer. And yet, God assures the believer he is always with us. Always.
So enjoy our 25 best short quotes on prayer. Share them with your friends.
And here's one more bonus quote from me: "We should feel as comfortable talking with God as we do with our best friend, because after all, God is our best friend."

Prayer brings hope; hope leads to more prayer
One of life's most basic questions is "What are you hoping in?"
If it's anything besides God, you're headed for disappointment, because all people, no matter how well-intentioned, are fallible.
They can accidentally let you down, leave, or eventually die. That doesn't mean we should isolate ourselves. On the contrary, it's relationships that make life worthwhile.
Hope for Hurting Singles is a practical, Bible-based handbook for unmarried people, a guide to overcoming everyday problems through the power of God.
Hope for Hurting Singles shows how an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ provides the motivation you need to enjoy a satisfying life. You'll learn how God stands with you in:
- Loneliness
- Rejection
- Depression
- Fear
- Bitterness
- Hurt
Single friend, this is how-to advice you'll put to use immediately. Author Jack Zavada drew on his 50 years' experience to lay out what works and what doesn't. Learn from his pain so you don't have to go through it yourself.
You'll won't find another book like this anywhere. It's written in a clear, conversational style and its principles are spot-on.
These secrets to spiritual maturity are well worth the $10.99 price for the paperback or $3.99 for the Kindle version.
