The power of prayer



God punishes us mildly by ignoring our prayers and severely by answering them. ~Richard J. Needham

"Give us this day our daily bread" is probably the most perfectly constructed and useful sentence ever set down in the English language.
~P.J. Wingate

Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.
~Søren Kierkegaard

As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in schools.

The first can be explained with another quote:
Some of G-D's greatest gifts, are often unanswered prayers
~ Garth Brooks

The point is that people think they know what's good for them, but G-D knows whats really going on and guides a person as they need to be guided.
