There come times when I have nothing more to tell God.
If I were to continue to pray in words,
I would have to repeat what I have already said.
At such times it is wonderful to say to God,
May I be in Thy presence, Lord?
I have nothing more to say to Thee, but
do love to be in Thy presence."
I could not say I believe. I know!
I have had the experience of being gripped
by something that is stronger than myself,
something that people call God.
Some people think that prayer just means asking for things, and
if they fail to receive exactly what they asked for,
they think the whole thing is a fraud.

The fact that astronomies change while the stars
abide is a true analogy of every realm of human life and thought,
religion not least of all.
No existent theology can be a final formulation of spiritual truth.
God has editing rights over our prayers.
He will... edit them, correct them,
bring them in line with His will and then hand them back to us to be resubmitted.
He who has faith has...
an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence,
calmness, and assuring trust that all will come
out well - even though to the world it may appear
to come out most badly.
Prayer is communication with the Divine.
It can be whispered or chanted or written or
expressed in the work you do.
However it is expressed, it is never in vain.
"You have a combination of legitimate and
deeply foul religious objection with political opportunism and
part of this growing problem between the western world and Islamic world."
"A religious man is a person who holds
God and man in one thought at one time,
at all times, who suffers harm done to others,
whose greatest passion is compassion,
who is greatest strength is love and defiance of despair."
"All of the members of this cell shared the same religious convictions,
an Islamic lifestyle, a feeling of being out of place in unfamiliar cultural
surroundings that they were not used to."
