Martin Luther Praying Quotations

When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.

Pray like it all depends on God, then when you are done, go work like it all depends on you.

The less I pray, the harder it gets; the more I pray, the better it goes.

God wants us to pray, and he wants to hear our prayers-not because we are worthy, but because he is merciful.

All who call on God in true faith...will certainly be heard.

But what will happen even if we do burn down the Jews synagogues and forbid them publicly to praise God, to pray, to teach, to utter God's name? They will still keep doing it in secret. If we know that they are doing this in secret, it is the same as if they were doing it publicly. for our knowledge of their secret doings and our toleration of them implies that they are not secret after all and thus our conscience is encumbered with it before God.

To pray diligently is more than half the task.

I have so much to do today that I must set apart more time than usual to pray.

Amen meaneth assuredly, namely, that I am sure that petitions of this kind are accepted by my Heavenly Father, and heard by him, because he hath commanded us, that we should pray after this manner, and hath promised that he will hear us. Amen, Amen: that is, truly, certainly, so be it.

I have to hurry all day to get time to pray.

It is a tremendously hard thing to pray aright, yea, it is verily the science of all sciences.
