“Sensing the carelessness and one-sidedness of our prayers, we start to feel guilty about praying. Guilt leads to faint-heartedness and that in turn leads to prayerlessness.”

“Men remain feeling guilty, for a false sense of guilt has no cure save the truth, and this is not forthcoming. Since the citizens are now guilt-ridden because of their education and political indoctrination, they are more amenable to robbery, and even murder. If the white man feels guilty towards the Negro, he is less capable of defending himself against the Negroes who turn into a revolutionary rabble, bent on theft and murder. The state finds it easier to rob men when men feel guilty for what they are and have, and the state drones on and on about the needs of the poor of the nation and of the world.”

“The most common cause of unanswered prayer is prayerlessness.”

“Being guilty tends to engender feelings of guilt.”

“Out-of-balance praying leads to no praying at all!”

“The fools enjoy their careless pleasure,
But their way is dark and leads to danger.”

“One reason we stop praying or let our prayer lives fade is that we are too comfortable.”

“To have a sense of sin means to feel guilty at there being an ethical choice to make, a guilt which, however "good" I may become, remains unchanged.”

“… guilt leads to righteous action, but rarely is it the right action.”

“Guilt starts as a feeling of failure.”
