More From William James

Sunday-the doctor's paradise! doctors at country clubs, doctors at the seaside, doctors with mistresses, doctors with wives, doctors in church, doctors in yachts, doctors everywhere resolutely being people, not doctors.
Country Sunday Doctors
Prayer is first of all listening to god. it's openness. god is always speaking; he's always doing something. prayer is to enter into that activity... convert your thoughts into prayer. as we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. the difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with god.
Prayer Thinking Differences
Satan cannot deny but that great wonders have been wrought by prayer. as the spirit of prayer goes up, so his kingdom goes down. satan's strategems against prayer are three. first, if he can, he will keep thee from prayer. if that be not feasible, secondly, he will strive to interrupt thee in prayer. and, thirdly, if that plot takes not, he will labour to hinder the success of thy prayer.
Prayer Plot Three
Say the prayer first thing in the morning when you open your eyes; then say it again before you go to sleep. dream the prayer. feel the prayer with your emotional body. be the prayer; align your faith and intent with the prayer until your whole life is based on this prayer.
Dream Morning Prayer
Prayer is vastly superior to worry. with worry, we are helpless; with prayer, we are interceding. when i hear sad news, i try to say a prayer for the victims. when i am troubled, i will say a prayer that asks for relief for myself and for all those who suffer as i do. when i am concerned about my relatives or friends i say a short prayer to myself - "may they be happy and free of suffering."
Peace Prayer Worry
Prayer from the depth and prayer from the surface are two prayers. one can utter what christ has called 'vain repetitions', just repeating the prayer; one does not fix one's mind on the meaning of the prayer. if the depth of one's heart has heard the prayer, god has heard it.
Prayer Heart Two
Similar Quotes
I do think prayer is powerful and it is not to be diminished. some of us who are struggling to put food on the table and are wondering where the next paycheck is coming from or have dangerous health situations and they don't have access to appropriate care do pray - do pray for yourselves and for others.
Powerful Prayer Struggle
Without extended, concentrated prayer, the ministry of the word withers. and when the ministry of the word declines, faith (rom. 10:17; gal. 3:2, 5) and holiness (john 17:17) decline. activity may continue, but life and power and fruitfulness fade away. therefore, whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.
Prayer Ministry Holiness
Churches are good for prayer, but so are garages and cars and mountains and showers and dance floors.
Prayer Car Church
Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning.
Christian Prayer Fear
