Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night. (Baker Josephine)
Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inwards in prayer for five short minutes. (Baker Josephine)

Prayer is a groan. (Baker Josephine)
Religion is in the heart, not in the knees. (Baker Josephine)

Your prayer must be for a sound mind in a sound body. (Baker Josephine)
The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays. (Baker Josephine)
Father in Heaven! When the thought of thee wakes in our hearts let it not awaken like a frightened bird that flies about in dismay, but like a child waking from its sleep with a heavenly smile. (Baker Josephine)

That prayer has great power which a person makes with all his might. It makes a sour heart sweet, a sad heart merry, a poor heart rich, a foolish heart wise, a timid heart brave, a sick heart well, a blind heart full of sight, a cold heart ardent. It draws down the great God into the little heart; it drives the hungry soul up into the fullness of God; it brings together two lovers, God and the soul, in a wondrous place where they speak much of love. (Baker Josephine)
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world. (Baker Josephine)
