“Where a people prays, there is the hurch; and where the church is; there is never loneliness.”
More from Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Faith
“Christianity preaches the infinite worth of that which is seemingly worthless and the infinite worthlessness of that which is seemingly so valued.”
“We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.”
“When our will wholeheartedly enters into the prayer of Christ then we pray correctly.”
“Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart. It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him whether the heart is full or empty.”
“When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh.”
“One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.”
“Through the medium of prayer we go to our enemy, stand by his side, and plead for him to God.”
“The will of God, to which the law gives expression, is that men should defeat their enemies by loving them.”
“Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.”
“[Christ] is the Mediator, not only between God and man, but between man and man, between man and reality.”
