Poetry and prayer are very similar.

Jonathan Edwards, American Clergyman (1703-1758)
We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.

The romantic embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.
Henry Ellis, British Psychologist (1859-  )

Frederic William Farrar, Indian Theologian
I do believe in the power of prayer.
Geraldine Ferraro, American Politician (1935-2011)
I do believe we're all connected. I do believe in positive energy. I do believe in the power of prayer. I do believe in putting good out into the world. And I believe in taking care of each other.
