Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.

Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen.

Faith in yourself matters.

Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

The same power that rose Christ from the dead, is living inside of you.

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There’s no one in the world like you. You are amazing.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full resources that are within thy reach.

May your troubles be less and your blessings be more.

Gratitude is the way to happiness.

Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.

Any one thing in creation is sufficient to demonstrate a Providence to a humble and grateful mind.

None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.

Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.

When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.

If you have no time for prayer and meditation, you will have lots of time for sickness and trouble.

My prayer is that when I die, all hell rejoices that I am out of the fight.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below! Praise Him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.
