    Prayer has been the ancestor of

    much peace of mind, cheerfulness,

    calmness, courage, self-mastery and

    fair-mindedness in the men and women

    of the evolving races

    If you truly desire to overcome the habit 

    of criticizing some friend, the quickest and

    surest way of achieving such a change of attitude

    is to establish the habit of praying for

    that person very day of your life

    Those who are God-conscious

    without symbolism must not deny

    the grace-ministry of the symbol

    to those who find it difficult to

    worship Deity and revere truth, beauty,

    and goodness without form and ritual

    Prayer has turned many

    an irritable and complaining

    invalid into a paragon of patience

    and made him an inspiration

    to other human sufferers

    Do not be slothful as to ask God to solve

    your difficulties, but never hesitate to ask

    him for wisdom an spiritual strength to

    guide and sustain you while you yourself

    resolutely and courageously attack

    the problems at hand

    Pray as Jesus taught

    his disciples—honestly,

    unselfishly, with fairness,

    and without doubting

    God answers

    the soul’s attitude,

    not the words

    Prayer is not a

    technique of escape

    from conflict but rather

    a stimulus to growth

    in the very face of conflict

    Pray only for values,

    not things;

    for growth,

    not for gratification

    Civilization, science,

    and advanced religions

    must deliver mankind

    from those fears born of

    the dread of natural phenomena

    Man’s greatest spiritual jeopardy

    consists in partial progress,

    the predicament of unfinished growth;

    forsaking the evolutionary religions of fear

    without immediately grasping 

    the revelatory religion of love

    Any religious belief which is effective

    in spiritualising the believer is certain

    to have powerful repercussions

    in the social life of such a religionist

    Religious experience

    unfailingly yields

    the ‘fruits of the spirit’

    in the daily life of the

    spirit-led mortal

    Religion inspires man

    to live courageously and joyfully

    on the face of earth;

    it joins patience with passion,

    insight with zeal,

    sympathy with power, and

    ideals with energy

    …religion ennobles

    the commonplace

    drudgery of daily living…
