"Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life." ― Jonathan Edwards Topic(s): Faith More From Jonathan Edwards "Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer; and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious." "The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted." "The way to Heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh." More In Faith "Intolerance betrays want of faith in one’s cause."― Mahatma Gandhi "Must faith be exactly that, the willingness and ability to believe in the face of a lack of evidence? If one could find the evidence, would then the faith be dead?"― Clifford D. Simak "Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy."― Norman Vincent Peale
