“I sometimes wonder if my requests are legitimate. So I'm honest with God. I say, "Lord, I don't know if I have the right to ask for this. I don't know how I should pray about it. But I hand it over to your now, and if you'll tell me how to pray, I'll pray your way."”

Bill Hybels (1951) American writer

Too Busy Not to Pray (2008, InterVarsity Press)

“Resolved, never to count that a prayer, nor to let that pass as a prayer, nor that as a petition of a prayer, which is so made, that I cannot hope that God will answer it; nor that as a confession, which I cannot hope God will accept.”

Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) Christian preacher, philosopher, and theologian

“Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”

Padre Pio (1887–1968) Italian saint, priest, stigmatist and mystic

“I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots, and so I ask you to confirm me as your President with your prayers. And I hope that such prayers will also be the first of many.”

Gerald Ford (1913–2006) American politician, 38th President of the United States (in office from 1974 to 1977)

Context: I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots, and so I ask you to confirm me as your President with your prayers. And I hope that such prayers will also be the first of many.
If you have not chosen me by secret ballot, neither have I gained office by any secret promises. I have not campaigned either for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency. I have not subscribed to any partisan platform. I am indebted to no man, and only to one woman — my dear wife — as I begin this very difficult job.
