More From Duke Ellington

He prays best who, not asking god to do man's work, prays penitence, prays resolutions, and then prays deeds--thus supplicating with heart and head and hands.
Prayer Heart Men
True prayer is only another name for the love of god. its excellence does not consist in the multitude of our words; for our father knoweth what things we have need of before we ask him. the true prayer is that of the heart, and the heart prays only for what it desires. to pray, then is to desire -- but to desire what god would have us desire. he who asks what he does not from the bottom of his heart desire, is mistaken in thinking that he prays.
Prayer Father Heart
Whilst a man is persuaded that he has it in his power to contribute anything, be it ever so little, to his salvation, he remains in carnal self-confidence; he is not a self-despairer, and therefore is not duly humbled before god, he believes he may lend a helping hand in his salvation, but on the contrary, whoever is truly convinced that the whole work depends singly on the will of god, such a person renounces his own will and strength; he waits and prays for the operation of god, nor waits and prays in vain
Believe Self Confidence Men
Let us not grow tired of knocking at god's door. let us go to the heart of god through mary, our whole life, every day, knocking at the door of god's heart! mary prays - prays together with the community of disciples, and teaches us to have full faith in god, in his mercy. this is the power of prayer!
Prayer Tired Heart
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
