Abraham Joshua Heschel Quotes

We should still pray. We have no other authority but to pray.

We can do nothing without prayer.

We need to do what we can do and let God do what we cannot.

He prays because he knows he doesn't control it. He's at the mercy of it.

Prayer begins where human capacity ends.

The more you try to grip control of your life the more God's gonna untangle that from you. He's going to make things go where you have to rely on Him.

Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.

Prayer puts God's work in his hands-and keeps it there.

I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me.

My faith kind of keeps me in touch with the idea that I'm not in control of things.

Get to the end of yourself where you can do nothing, but where He does everything.

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

I talk to God every single day. And I say, 'God, my life is in your hands, and I trust you with me.'

I trust in God, and His ways are not our ways. So we have to go with that, and there's nothing I can do about that.

When you meditate or pray... both are forms of meditation... you give up control and find the answer and you open yourself to receive God's gift, the universal force, or whatever that is.

More than anything, praying just helps me to concentrate and let go of things that don't matter in that moment. It gives me peace knowing I'm in good hands.

There is nothing so small but that we may honor God by asking His guidance of it, or insult Him by taking it into our own hands.

I will not try to run my own life or the lives of others; that is God's business.

The privilege of prayer to me is one of the most cherished possessions, because faith and experience alike convince me that God himself sees and answers, and His answers I never venture to criticize. It is only my part to ask. If it were otherwise, I would not dare to pray at all.

God, find us on our knees because we know that when we get our knees, You extend Your powerful right hand.

When you can't do nothing but pray-you've done a whole lot.

Thank God for unanswered prayers.

We do not pray at all until we are at our wits' end.

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers. Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs; that just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.
