“Arya did not know any Many-Faced God, but if he answered prayers, he might be the god she sought.”

“I know not by what method rareBut this I know, God answers prayer.I know that he has given his WordWhich tells me prayer is always heardAnd will be answered soon or lateAnd so I pray and calmly wait.I know not if the blessing sought Will come in just the way I thoughtBut leave my prayers with him aloneWhose will is wiser than my ownAssured that he will grant my questOr send some answer far more blessed.”

“He did not hope that God heard his prayers; he knew it.”

“If God were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be God our Saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction.”

“Prayer is beyond any question the highest activity of the human soul. Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.”

“I'll always say my prayers... and if God doesn't answer them at once I shall know it's because He's planning something better for me.”
