“Do you pray?” I ask him.“Doesn't everybody pray sometime?”
“[Moishe] explained to me, with great emphasis, that every question possessed a power that was lost in the answer....And why do you pray, Moishe?' I asked him.I pray to the God within me for the strength to ask Him the real questions.”
“Success is about "doing." Faithfulness is about "being.”
“I have often been asked to help pray in life and death situations, especially when loved ones cannot. It is hard to know how to ask for divine help. I cannot possibly know what should be done. I cannot even pray, "God, make this person live." What I can do is pray that whatever is in the divine plan should happen with grace and with ease.”
“I pray to a God I don't really have faith in just so I feel like I have company.”
