“I'm still so remote from God that I don't even sense his presence when I pray.”
Sophie Scholl (1921–1943) White Rose member
As quoted in At the Heart of the White Rose: Letters and Diaries of Hans and Sophie Scholl (1987) edited by Inge Jens, translated by J. Maxwell Brownjohn; also in Voices of the Holocaust : Resistors, Liberation, Understanding (1997) by Lorie Jenkins McElroy
Context: I'm still so remote from God that I don't even sense his presence when I pray. Sometimes when I utter God's name, in fact, I feel like sinking into a void. It isn't a frightening or dizzying sensation, it's nothing at all — and that's far more terrible. But prayer is the only remedy for it, and however many devils scurry around inside me, I shall cling to the rope God has thrown me in Jesus Christ, even if my numb hands can no longer feel it.
“I don't just pray for God to open doors, I also pray for God to close doors.”
Joyce Meyer (1943) American author and speaker
“When I don't have an answer, I pray. God is the only alternative source of help.”

"I still haven't found what I'm looking for"
Lyrics, The Joshua Tree (1987)
Context: I have climbed highest mountains, I have run through the field, only to be with you. I have run, I have crawled, I have scaled these city walls, only to be with you. But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
