Gerard Manley Hopkins quotes on prayer

24. Thou mastering me God! giver of breath and bread; World's strand, sway of the sea; Lord of living and dead; Thou hast bound bones and veins in me, fastened me flesh, And after it almost unmade, what with dread, Thy doing: and dost thou touch me afresh? Over again I feel thy finger and find thee.

36. I walk, I lift up, I lift up heart, eyes, Down all that glory in the heavens to glean our Saviour.

55. That night, that year Of now done darkness I wretch lay wrestling with (my God!) my God.

64. Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend With thee; but, sir, so what I plead is just. Why do sinners' ways prosper? and why must Disappointment all I endeavour end?

69. Any day, any minute we bless God for our being or for anything, for food, for sunlight, we do and are what we were meant for, made for-things that give and mean to give God glory.
